No Gutter, I just said that to add heft to how crestfallen I was to learn about 99's sudden and profound demise. But thanks for the kind thoughts.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 8:02 pmGlad to hear from you and that you're ok!Shirley wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 7:36 pmThanks pdub, but considering what they were predicting, we were incredibly lucky. Still no power and barely any internet, but that’s nothing. Lots of debris to deal with, but that’s nothing in comparison, either. Thank you to everyone for the kind thoughts, it was a special kind of strange to wonder if my house and everything I own would still be there this morning.
Hope I never have that feeling again, but it is Florida.
I admit I am a little confused. Earlier you said - "Losing my house and all my possessions was bad enough". Did that actually happen? If so, I'm really sorry!
Thanks Overlander.Overlander wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 8:33 pm I have to admit, getting a text back from Shirley helped me relax a little.

Many's the time over the course of my career that I would remark: I'm glad there are weatherpeople around so there's always someone wrong more often than physicians.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:31 pm i go to bed last night with a 25% chance of rain at 9am this morning
woke up at 6 to rain, and it hasn’t really stopped yet
