Hi all...I'm at work so I still have computer access but my hubby is at home with the kids and we have no power or cable. We're about an hour from the coastline. It's raining VERY hard right now, and I have already laid one umbrella to rest today! I'm hanging in there!! Whew...power just flickered here too! I better post this before I lose everything...

Well, I'm getting ready to leave you guys, too. The office is shutting down the computers in about 15 minutes, so I won't be back today and tomorrow is iffy. It's raining pretty hard here but the wind is still mild.

I will think about everyone. Please stay safe! I will see you as soon as I can.

Take care everyone!

( We have a high wind advisory here from 10pm to noon tomorrow, and I'm in East Central Ohio, for heaven's sake! )

half, we had 'high wind advisories' yesterday and the day before and i am in california! i hate going over the pass in the wind and i had to go over both days for doctor appointments. my daughter had to play golf in the winds. some of her tee shots she never saw again :>) she got a pretty high score because she had to keep taking a drop and using a new ball. today she plays with the coaches from 2 schools. she is nervous, but okay about it. 6 girls are playing in the tourney from each of the 2 schools, and my daughter is tied for a playing position, but the coach did not want to take the other girl out, since she did well in an earlier tournament...so he told dd, "tomorrow, we'll get the tournament started and then you can play a round with the other coach and me." i am so glad "a" and "round" were two distinct words LOLOLOL

Checking back in...Tabby, yes, I work with Hermie, and schools are closed today and tomorrow. We lost power a couple of more times, but it's back, and the eye of the storm is about 2 hours from here. (Pray, people, pray.) Much rain, wind, nobody is out on the street, and our candles burn on (getting ready for the brunt in the next few hours). Thanks for your concern, everybody!

We made it!! Got through the hurricane just fine. We had max winds around 65mph. Thats nothing for us. We did lose power from 11am to 4pm. Nothing big. Unfortunately, I see those NC north of us are being hit with floods. I feel so bad for them. I hope anyone in that area is ok.

We got off easy here too. Still blowing a bit, never did rain very hard. Some tree damage. The power is back on, I was worried about Survivor!

Hope the rest of you are just as lucky.

National Hurricane Center downgraded Isabel at 9pm to a tropical storm. A bullet dodged.

Tropical Storms can be a royal pain, too. They bring lots of rain.
