Say yes...grin...in HER bed. (She'll go to sleep, you can get up and move to YOUR bed...been there, done that!)
5:32pm on Tuesday 9/28, and it's been raining since 6am. Just over 3.4" so far. Thunderstorms, 30-35mph winds, tornadoes and widespread flooding in York and Lancaster Ctys, PA.
Nothing to sweat, compared to the folks down south.
I used to do it on a regular basis - it's not going to happen in this bed!
I'll let her go to sleep in my bed and then carry her back to her room!!!!
It started raining again but seems to have now stopped, the winds have calmed, but the heavy gusts are still there.
As I said early - I once again dodged the bullet, and believe me, I'm counting my blessings!
They should update the position soon. It is still raining out here but has fallen off. We had to of had 4 inches today!
I don't think I've even had an inch of rain.
A Sabreliner corporate jet at the Martin County Airport is surrounded by fallen steel beams and sheet metal that formerly comprised a Galaxy Aviation hanger.
Wow! Poor guy, anything built pre-Andrew and all wood didn't stand a chance.
I don't need the newspaper. I live here :-)
I don't know if anyone brought this up, but when Francis hit and WPB was in real bad shape, all the news stations switched to disaster mode for almost 9 days.
When Jeanne hit, WPB didn't do too bad, but both of the northern counties (Martin & St. Lucie) got nailed big time, so the local radio stations went back to normal programming in 2 days as WPB had gotten their electricity a bit quicker.
I guess it tell us which listeners matter and which don't. Rural vs. City. :-(
I was wondering about that. But looking at these pics, it tells me that PB County is still hurting. It seems the damage in PB County was more widespread than Martin or St Lucie.
Not too bad here, mostly erosion and flooding this time. Not as much structural as there was with Charley and Frances.
Actually I figured Vero Beach for getting the worse. They were on the northern band of the eye and never did get a break.
The other end of the eye was in Northern Palm Bch county. But all in all, programming went back in 2 days.
PS.. Yesterday the local Winn Dixie had 3 dozen packages of frozen boneless chicken cutlets. Price = $7.95 lb. Reg price is $3.49 lb. The entire meat dept was empty except for that chicken.
Publix is the only one who tossed everything that was temperature controlled.
Although when my family was living in a devastated area after a hurricane (92), with roads impassable, most everyone's cars damaged in one way or another, no electricity to watch tv and no newspapers being delivered to within miles, nobody had a clue as to what was going on in the outside world, or for that matter, even in town, except through word of mouth and rumor.
Only when I was able to acquire a generator and light up the tv with it, did we really become acquainted with the situation in a larger way.
Can you imagine what the people in Florida and other southern states went thru in the Canes of 28 and 35??
Been there done that! Don't want to do it again!
Didn't get a t-shirt, but discovered 21st century military food at the FEMA stations!! MRE's. mmmm mmmmmmmm good! !! :-)
