Something I have been considering for a while has now been forced to the top of my schedule by hurricane Frances. This is the first rushed attempt to keep us abreast of our Pixie members during natural disasters and the like. The thought was to have a standing library of maps with members locations when something like this occurred. It would then be posted in a thread to keep us informed of happenings around the people we have come to know and care about. The thought has been in the back of my mind since the flooding last spring in the USA.

I decided I wanted to do this after hurricane Charley and would post a thread to see if there was interest among our members and begin a LONG, SLOW process for the members requesting to be included. Frances has provided the kick in the ass to get this going.

I PMed 19 members that we know are located in Florida during the night, requesting permission and locations, to include them in this first strained attempt. I have only a couple early replies at this hour and will update the map at least twice, if and when the responses come in, today. It is possible some are among the people being evacuated. I am sure these members have other things on their mind at the moment and this is why I felt we had the need to have the prepared library.

Here is where our people are at. Watch the reports and pray for the next 48 hours and hope to see posts from them after the danger has passed.


PS
I'm working on optimum size.
