    Hurricane Ernesto

    It's that time of year, we've come to the height of hurricane season & have one heading our way.  It's supposed to hit us late Tuesday/Early Wednesday as a category 1.  We've pepared, got the shutters hung, stocked up on supplies, but good luck finding gas, lines 2 miles long! [&o]  All we can do now is wait!

    Best wishes for you and the others in your situation. I understand that you want to get this kind of news out, but, not to sound mean, but me and probably a lot of others on the forum would appreciate it if you'd post this in the NDR (none dog related) section! Thanks and good luck!

    Well, it was heading right for us in Tampa Bay, but now they say it's heading towards the East Coast and southern Florida.  Good luck to you!  Hopefully he'll fizzle out before he gets here!

    Thanks, the 11pm news has it down graded to a tropical storm now.  Yeah!  Lets hope it continues to lose strength.

    I'm near Orlando -- let's hope this one is a big fizzle.  Fuel for all those who think this is a slow news week.  It's gotten a lot of media hype because it's the year anniversary of Katrina -- my boss didn't know whether to say the office was closed or not for tomorrow, so we're on "wait and see".    Let's all collectively join hands and pray, think good thots or whatever we do and talk Ernesto into just fizzling completely!!!!

    Amen to that.  We've been praying and preparing.  Monday, I couldn't get gas to save my life, so I got my groceries, came home & began hanging shutters.  SU was to return from business trip Fri, he got an earlier flight Tues afternoon.  He finished preparing & we waited.  I'm thrilled to report all we had, so far, are gusts of wind & rain.  Let ALL hurricanes be like Ernesto!

    Ernesto has now been downgraded to a tropical depression.  (I guess he's depressed because he didn't make it to hurricane status).[;)]

    Hey -- I'm typing THIS during a hurricane (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww whooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) ... so close your eyes and imagine with me ok???
     
    I'm NOT complaining that Ernesto is just one BIG DRIZZLE -- but I do feel badly for all the people who had their kids home from school (schools closed over most of Central FL today) or who had to take them TO work (altho some stuff was closed today).
     
    ON the good side -- traffic was GREAT today!!! Darned near going TO work this morning to just zoom in!!! LOL
     
    We're just getting rain (which we don't truly need desperately) -- I"m gonna vote for Ernesto as my 'favorite' hurricane!!
