God, It's now a Catagory FOUR now! But it's coming in south of us now, and not Tampa Bay. This is BETTER for US, but not for others. Still, a Catagory 4 is BAD. 145mph winds and what I worry about is Tornados.

I've done what I could to the house--tape on windows, trimmed limbs on our small tree (so it won't be top heavy as rains come and weigh it down and gets windy. Got my Batterys and port. radio and tons of candles and stuff. [img]smile.gif[/img] It is totally quiet here right now. No rain, no wind, yet it's JUST south of us. [img]smile.gif[/img] The calm before the storm..... Choc is casting more protections and is praying to Tymora for Luck.

I'll update you all again at 5PM EST if we have power, and let ya know the situation.

Good luck Z, hope everything turns out alright. It is like hurricane Andrew again. But hold down the fort. Don't let that nature tyrant rule you.
Best of luck.

GEEEEZ Guys! What a scary few hours! We had 90 mph winds and trees down all over the town (Our home is fine, and only some small limbs are fallen--small enough to pick up with one hand We had a lawn full of water though, but no flooding in the house. Our power went out at 7:28PM and came back at 12:20AM (just a few mins ago).

Glad to be okay. From the news I am hearing, this storm did some MAJOR damage around the area.

All the roads are covered in leaves and twigs, and I recorded ALL of it on camcorder, and I'll get it on the PC and make it streamable so you can see just how crazy it was for a few hrs...

Its scary when all the power is out, and all you got to work with is a portable radio. [img]smile.gif[/img] But it turned out well--for us atleast. Hope its not as bad as it sounds for others..

Lets hope it goes out to sea and dies rather than ravaging Georgia and the Carolinas as well.

Glad to hear all is fairly well Ziroc.
