Well the rain has begun
 

and the wind is starting.
We are now 1mph away from a cat 3. If you don't see me on ICQ, you'll know I've lost power. If I do, hopefully it wont be for too long.

Morgan,
Try calling tomorrow night if I'm not online tomorrow.

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Thanks guys.
It's not bad yet. We're very prepared. Got lots of food, bottled water, got the bathtubs filled, coolers filled with ice, radios, flashlights, wine, the hurricane shutters are down, we're set.

You take care too Serge, It's going to hit you on the way out.

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

well.....the power outage might delay our return from NYC,
we have tickets on Oct 25th, might not happen
;(

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Ditto!

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Stay safe Red...

But my prediction (for what it's worth) is that this sucker is going to go south of you..... You'll get hit by a lot of it, but I think the main storm is gonna roll right in over the keys... Told Jen that this morning while we were trying to decide if we needed to make plans to be down in Ft. Myers after the storm in case the condo gets slammed. And so far, as I have watched the storm all day, it is holding true...

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

I hope you're right, but it's still changing so who knows. The eye is 55 miles wide and the eye wall is huge. I'm hoping it hits the Everglades. That will make our storm surge a lot less. And if you come down to Ft. Myers let me know. We'll have dinner. It's only about an hour or so from me. I'm about 5 miles inland from Marco Island.

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Glad to know you've got it all covered! :D

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Stay safe Red!!!!!

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Anthony is too damned quiet!

Hope it's cause he's just busy cleaning his guns.

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Just be prepared Red, and stay safe! :)

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

I'm hoping that as well. :unsure:

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Anthony is not picking cell phone
;(

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

just off the phone with Anthony:
power is out and pieces of the roof are flying and hitting the cars on his parking lot..
bad-bad-bad

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

I hope it's only because of a lack of service. :(

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Damn that's shit, at least he's still with us. Keeping my fingers crossed over here.

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

In my thoughts and prayers guys

Re: Well the rain has begun
 

Red...(posting this is silly but oddly comforting) if you're not online today I'll call you tonight.
