Re: Double Trouble In Florida

[Guest guest]

Sunny in florida I am on the east coast of florida. I know over here on the east coast we haven't been hit for a long time and we are due for one bigtime. I grew up in florida and been through alot of hurricanes so they don't really bother me to much. The only hurricane that we ever left the house to go somewhere else was that year hurricane Flyod came through here and it took us 8 hours to get to the west coast of fl which normally it only takes 3 hours. but when we got home there was no damage done to the house at all that hurricane was a number 5 so it scared us bad. If I remember right floyd didn't hit us it ended up bypassing us we just got rains and winds from it then another one came after floyd i think it was arron and we lost the lights and stuff like that that one hit us the worst out of them two. go figure we didn't leave for that one lol. If you never been through a hurricane it can be scary thats for sure. i am praying for everyone through the hurricanes and hope that everyone makes it safe.

I live on Madiera Beach, which is a barrier island along the Gulf

Coast in Pinellas County, which is the peninsula that makes Tampa Bay

a Bay... This morning's track has Charley making landfall almost

directly over my apartment.... so basicly I'm just sitting here

waiting for the evacuation orders.

We're expecting a 6-10 foot storm surge or a 10-14 foot surge,

depending on what meteorologist you listen too. That pretty much

means the island will literally underwater.

The girls are pretty upset, they don't remember the tropical storm

that hit us in Manatee even though the winds were just at hurricane

level... and this is a bit worse. I am trying to look at the whole

thing as an adventure. One of the good things about having to leave

all our stuff in Buffalo for my son (because the car died and we

could only take a couple suitcases on the train when we moved) is

that we don't have terribly much to loose, so I'm not terribly

worried or frightened. I'm sure that I'll be upset if I come home and

no longer have my ceremonial tea wisk that my daughter sent me, or

the kids certificates for citizenship from kindergarden, or the

picture fron the state fair where we were all dressed up as

confederate soldiers and southern belles... But I can't even PROCESS

that now.

oh, and yesterday the doc found a lump, and refered me for a mamogram

and a surgical consult.

so even WITHOUT Charley it never rains but it POURS!

Hi Kate

I am in Central Florida, but our fears are the same as you. There is

no where for us to evacuate as the hurricane force winds will be all

over the state as of tomorrow. I am sure that the shelters will let

you take a minimal amount of belongings, so pack those special things

in plastic baggies and take them along. What a blessing that most of

your things are NOT in your home! I have been through many of these

and I am sure it will be okay, as long as it doesn't escalate to the

point that did. People just weren't ready for that one and it

was the biggest yet. Now.. we all take them more seriously. You and

your girls will be fine, but DO leave and go to higher ground.

I will keep you in my prayers for this event as well as the lump. I

am sure God will take good care of you, but check back in as soon as

you can get back online and let us know.

Take care,

Not so Sunny

Thanks, Joanna. I am hoping it will lose strength before it makes it

over to us. But from what I've seen on TV, it's gaining. You never

can tell about these storms. I had my condo on Cocoa Beach flooded in

1984 by a storm that didn't even get named. My poor hubby is having

to do all the preps for this one alone as my own health is very bad

right now after 8 weeks of being a caregiver.

Thanks for the prayers. We will need them and will check back in when

we can.

Thanks to all of you who are offering up prayers for our state. I

have a report from Panama City ( from my baby bro) that Bonnie was

next to nothing there this morning. They have sunny weather now.

The east coast is getting flood and tornado warnings as the Volusia

area ( Daytona Beach) is already water saturated from days of rain.

Brevard is preparing for storm surge... Cocoa and Titusville areas.

The storm is now headed more for Tampa than Ft. Myers and will go

slightly north of the Orlando area. My daughter is moving to

Gainesville to U of Fla on Sunday, so I hope she can still do that as

it will go right through there on Saturday.

After years ago, we Floridians take these storms much more

seriously now. So most of the state is well prepared and braced for

the worst. But, hopefully, as in past situations, we have over

prepared and it will not be as bad as it seems it will be.

After , all the hurricanes look good. May the good Lord NEVER

bring us another Category five direct hit!

Hope all of you are enjoying a restful and healthy day!

Sunny ( at least for now...

Please do let me know. I have no idea if I can join you that soon as

I am still recovering from taking care of my mom for 8 weeks. I

brought home a little " gift " of pericarditis that I am taking the big

boy drugs to get over. But being weeks away, I might be good enough

by then to meet you. Where do you usually go to eat? Where does your

friend live over here? I am on the east side of the city.. closest to

you in Titusville. ( Can't get TOO far from a beach.. lol)

Thanks, a.So far, we still have good weather here. Tomorrow is

the day we will most likely remember. I still remember when Donna

came through in 1960. It was very scary, but we all made it with only

a few trees down. I hope we fare that well this time.

I will try to check in tomorrow if we manage to keep our power.
