Update!
 

Thank you. Knowing others think it is worth the effort makes it a non-effort.

This is our latest map with just one addition and a little tweeking. There are a number of members, including our Summer, that I have not heard from and one response that was so happy about the map idea, he forgot to give me his location and hasn’t gotten beck to me yet. ;)

At the moment, it is sounding like you will need the boat instead of just the anchor. I’m starting a local drive at all our video stores to have copies of Water World and The Abyss dropped in as soon as Frances has passed.

On a serious note, I really would like to hear about the memories of your Floridian grandparents, when there were only reports AFTER the fact. I have to think that the forecasting system of only knowing you were in the season and watching the cloud formations, made it a slightly different encounter. That could even make fore a good party break. Get a tape recorder and find a couple of the oldest people in your area and get it down before the real peoples experience is gone for ever.

Good luck Peninsula People. Keep your powder dry…………. And everything you can. ;)

Thanks PF....this is really awesome of you to do!

to think I lived @7 for 4 years.. sure wish I would have known about Pixies then... damn.. damn..

LOL

To my good friend TT and all Pixie Floridians....

Please be careful, batten down everything you've been advised to, I will cross my fingers for you. Please post here as soon as you can, although I'm sure the queues at the Internet cafe's will be prohibitive...

Jaybee.

(((Jaybee))) thanks to you and everyone else sending us your prayers and good wishes :)


This waiting is almost the worst part. :rolleyes: Thinking about it hitting and not knowing what we will get as far as damage and rain is stressing me out!! :eek:

Although I've been watching and studying hurricanes for a number of years, it's more unpleasant when you know people in the track of one.

Take care y'all and we'll watch for your return, sorta like leaving a candle in the window of Pixie's so to speak.

The map will be my desktop until the storm has passed.

Whew!! We just had one of the outer bands blow through. Dumped a ton of rain and the wind blew my trees around like they were nothing! My sister who lives down the street a couple of blocks just called. They watched the neighbors tree fall down and then lost their power.

This sucks!! And this was nothing compared to what will be happening all night long. :eek:

almost half a million without power already

Hurricane survival Rule No. 1.

PANTIES should only get wet from the inside!! ......... if I'm not with you.:lust:

Somewhat concern for relatives that live basically in the projected track. Fortunately, they don't live in one of the coastal counties, and hence, are not under an evac order, but...that's just one county over.

fun working
 

looks like ill be in Tampa working tomorrow .............. I guess I'll bring the beer and the women ........... any pixies up for a hurricane party ???????
I know I'm not ......... well if everything is cool I will keep you posted from Tampa end of all this ......... tess hang in there I hope everything turns out for the best
as I do for everyone in FL ......................
PF I love the rule I completely agree ................ if I can't get back to you all tomorrow I will get on someone PC somewhere and try to keep you all posted ................... Take care all .............. Stay safe :grope:

Oh for goodness sake...all I was thinking of, at the moment, is Frances...and of course we need a world wide map! TY for opening up the venue Sharni!

Are you up for that PF?

How is everyone so far? Hurricane check!

Damn, this is a slow movin motha!

I'm agreein' with the rest PF, great idea. Once again you're right there in a pinch with an idea to help. My first thought this morning was to check and see what's going on. My thoughts and prayers are there with you folks. Take care and keep us posted.
