I stopped at a little coffee shop there once in 1984-5. Stayed in Melbourne and have friends in Stuart. Palm Beach was not my style too many Kennedy and Limbaugh types .
Dang, Frances put out our lights in GA, hundreds of miles away, and was depression when it got here.
Prayers for y'all in FL, cause its been bad here in GA, and we aren't even "coastal". We should see it Monday.
By the way, where DID you stop?? chances it isn't even there anymore.
Stuart is a "VERY" exclusive area now...
The winds are whipping here. I'm thinking it's time to shut down.. don't want "power surge, or anything else to loose my pc.

Thanks. That was very interesting.
Nice and breezy here north of Orlando. No rain right now. It feels really nice out right now.
Glad it's easy on ya there. I'm getting reports that trees are uprooting in Melbourne. Prayers for all there especially my little brother and his family.
Stay Safe.......Y
I have a friend who has family northwest of Orlando. They just got their power back on recently. Now they expect it out again tonight.
Ok, well you sound like a man with a plan.
According to Fox news, the hurricane seems
to be ahead of schedule (I'm paraphrasing here.).
I believe it's an hour ahead from what they predicted
earlier.
Stay Safe.......Y
Ill pass that along when. Last I heard they only briefly lost phone service, a few hours, last time, and no damage to their brick house.
Moveon.org actually is blaming Bush for the hurricanes.
This may seem a bit cruel, but it's probably good that two storms hit the same area before repairs were completed. The overall economic impact will be less than if they hit entirely different areas.
Those people probably believe it. I am trying to find a radio station online live from the area. The radar photo looks like the eye wall is ashore near Port St. Lucie.
