UPDATE Hurricane 2004; 5:30 AM Well, I tried to do a photo update but...
My darned photo host is down. That sucks. I woke up at 5:30 AM when I heard my printer click back on. That means we lost power for a while. I don't know how long. I wish I knew.
The rain bands at the fringes of the hurricane are now over us. It's raining hard. At present winds are at 25 mph. Not too bad yet. We're presently under a flood watch and a tornado watch in addition to the hurricane advisory. They're still anticipating the hurricane's eye hitting us around 2 PM. It's unbearably dark in here, but at least we're relatively safe.
I must say, I am SICK AND TIRED of watching hurricane coverage. And it now sounds like it's not expected to leave the state until tomorrow. I worry for those whose businesses were depending on this Labor Day weekend revenue. I worry for anybody who's too poor to buy wood to cover their windows. Believe it or not, some people down here don't even have home owners insurance -once the home is paid off it's not a requirement.
Well, this is me in Hurricane torn Florida. BTW, another one is right behind this one. Goes by the name of Ivan. IVAN GO HOME.
