Katrina

Ditto on that advice!

OG, Where are you located, Dover or Cornwalln or Bristol or somewhere else?

East Kent usually looking North at the sea.

Gotta get me map out.

If you give me a town (not to presume yours), I can Goggle Map it.

Thanks

BTW, I've been asked to interview for a "job" demonstrating blacksmithing for a local Renaissance Fair (era 1550)

The nearest CITY is Canterbury.

 

[Matadore]

I'm embarassed. I've even been there! Of course it was a mistake at the time. I had gotten on the train headed in the opposite direction from my intention (which was dover if I recall)! One of my more fortunate mistakes.

Unofficial report: 74 dead from Katrina in FL, LA, MS, and AL.

How is it where you are now?

How is it where you are now?

VERY windy, but no rain....yet.

See that pink dot? That's where I am.

 

[LadyJeanne]

They've already let schools out for the day, no word yet on tomorrow. No rain (yet), but the wind is whistling like hell out there, and I see a few smallish limbs down already.

Not sure how long power will last, but I'll update as long as I can.

Take care of yourself, cloudy.

I'm still worried about Colly....no word from her since this morning, and she's in Mississippi.

 

[Matadore]

Mobile?

 

[cloudy]

Mobile?

Colly? No, she's in Jackson, MS, I think. I'm a couple of hours north of Mobile.

 

[Dar~]

Cloudy, she has your mobile number, do you have hers? Maybe someone could call her and make sure she's okay.
I am praying for you all and for the families of the ones already lost.

No, she doesn't have a cell, I don't think. The one good thing is she's with her family, but I still worry.

What does Jackson look like on the doppler?

my thoughts and prayers go out to all those who are being affected by this -God Bless.


Joe Wordsworth lives in Mississippi doesn't he? He's offline after moving though, so I don't know if anyone will have had any contact from him...

 

[cloudy]

I probably won't have power a whole lot longer....wind is whipping around the house like you wouldn't believe, and its LOUD.

I've promised to text Abs, though, to let her know that we're okay.

Just stopping by to see if there has been any word from Colly or Joe.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone

We have power!!!!!

Spent most of the night without it, and after several trips up and down the basement steps in the pitch black, I have a new appreciation of what blind people have to deal with.

But, somehow, miracle of miracles, it's back on this morning!
