Poor Florida

My SIL just called. Her house sustained some damage but is still standing. But now she is not sure whether or not she will be able to be up here for her parents 50th anniversary. It seems there is another hurricane heading directly for her AGAIN.

The statement the news was saying was the first one was a warning, Frances was practice and this one will be the real thing and really bad

This is just awful. I don't remember it ever being this bad before. She was telling me that her house, which is fairly new construction was swaying so bad in the wind that they were all huddled in the hallway during the storm and that the shutters were even torn off.

I just feel so awful for her. She was making reference to Andrew and I told her not to think like that. I just wish she and all of both our families down there would freaking leave already.

It's been a terrible summer for storms, first Charley and now this. The Yankees were supposed to play the Devil Rays and I think the team is stuck in FLA. I got really annoyed at all the people who were at the stadium whining about how the game's been delayed.

I think Ivan might be there sometime next weekend. They are not 100% postive on the radars where it is going but down by my SIL they seem to be positive it is heading to them

All the news stations in fl are telling people to not take off the plywood from their windows so we will all stay prepared if/when Ivan arrives.
Enough Already!

Deb, I am so sorry I was hoping she was just being dramatic

Sorry Swags, right now she is not (not the best news for anyone that has friends or family here). I hope it goes west before it comes anywhere near FL.
