frances goeth but whence Ivan?

We made it...but it is wet and sloppy here.

This storm was a slow mover and dumped a lot of rain for the last day or two...even today now that the eye went over Tampa and is heading up toward the panhandle of Florida, the storm is so big that the eastern side of the circulation is over the whole state and bring winds from north to south with rain and thunderstorms all day. Wacky!

I made a quick emergency roof repair yesterday since we were having some leaks, and now I'm back up to the roof when it stops raining to tack down some plastic over another section. We had power restored in about 12 hours so that was a real praise to the Lord. The energy crews are really on the ball here and there were already extra crews here because of Charley. Sounds like we were one of about 20% or less that got it back so soon.

Now they tell us hurricane Ivan is brewing and that 'cone of probability' that weather people show keeps pointing to us again along with the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. This (Frances 3 weeks after Charley) was unprecedented. Ivan too - now that would be _____________ (fill in superlative here).

  1. "...now that would be suspicious."

    What is going on with the weather this year? You guys have had lots of nasty hurricansies (Down, Gollum!) and we have had a bunch of typhoons. Hey, maybe Florida will have its first white Christmas!
