Greetings from Soggy Florida. One of the perks of living here is Hurricane Season! (If that is what you want to call it)
We are waiting for Tropical Storm Fay to make her way to anyplace else but here! I must admit it did force us to get prepared. And while we have fared well (only lost power once for about an hour- currently 80,000 people are without power) we will have all the supplies we need for the next one.
The kids started school on Monday and they closed school on Wednesday and it has remained closed until next Monday. We have been stuck in the house since Tuesday and are looking forward to maybe venturing out when Dave gets home from work. Yes, you heard me right, WORK! He had to go in everyday, even during the height of the storm! Now granted he does work for the electric company, but they were not even working on storm related projects. It is a good thing he does not have to cross any bridges to get to and from as a lot of them have been closed due to the high winds.
It has been 3 solid days of rain (working on 13 plus inches) and winds (25-50 miles sustained winds and gusts up to 60 miles per hour) and two tornadoes in the past 3 hours a little to close to us for comfort.
And why do we still live here......some days that is a good question! But I can sum it up in one word.....DISNEY! :-)
