StLouisCruisers Posted 3 hours ago Author #2 Share Posted 3 hours ago Good morning friends! First I want to thank Coweta-Fayette EMC for our electricity and Comcast for my internet service, which are still going strong at 3:42 a.m. 🤞 The eye of the hurricane is still south of me north of Valdosta, Georgia. Extremely high winds haven't hit here yet. Lots of rain but I don't have any numbers for overnight. I'll try to keep in touch this morning as things progress. Hopefully the winds won't be hurricane strength when it reaches us. Thank you Rich @richwmn for the Fleet Report and Daily information prepared ahead of time. Thanks so much Debbie @dfish,Dixie @summer slope and Ann @cat shepard for preparing your reports for us every day. Prayers today for Roy, Chuck and Annie, Tana and Terry, Vanessa, Ann and Pat, Nancy’s DB Nick, Melisa and her DH, Joy’s DS Bonnie, Jacqui, Jane and her DS, Elizabeth, Dixie, Debbie and Carol and Sam and anyone else in need of them here. I also don’t want to neglect mentioning my DB, the people of Israel and Ukraine, the hostages still held, and for our men and women in uniform who are protecting us overseas. For those celebrating special occasions, cruising and preparing to cruise, my best wishes to you all. Vanessa @JazzyV, thank you for your list keeping work. We hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! The port today is Nome, Alaska, which is another first-timer. No links to post again today. I haven’t been to Nome yet but it’s scheduled on the 28 day Alaska cruise next summer so that will hopefully change for us then. Hopefully some of you have some photos to share with us. Have a great day everyone and please try to stay safe and keep well! 🙏 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLouisCruisers Posted 1 hour ago Author #5 Share Posted 1 hour ago I see the HAL board is a little slow this morning. I hope there aren't a lot of power outages among members in the southeast. I am surprised we still have power, however the worst of the winds may still be coming. Hopefully in the next 3 or 4 hours the storm will be past us. I hope those still in the path don't experience too many problems with winds and flooding. 🤞 I'm anxious for daylight so we can see how things look outside, and how much rain is in our rain gauge (emptied at 6 p.m. last night). At least our trees are still standing! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagarsmoker Posted 55 minutes ago #7 Share Posted 55 minutes ago Good morning Dailyites and thank you for the Daily Report. Storms woke me up around 2 am this morning and the electricity has been on/off several times since then. It's been raining pretty hard with gusts over 50 mph. It's currently 79 degrees and humidity is 100%. According to the radar, the TS will leave by 10 or 11 am. 🙂 I hope all our CC friends are safe!!! Have a great weekend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted 52 minutes ago #8 Share Posted 52 minutes ago Prayers for everyone in the Hurricane's path. We just had heavy rain and 40-50 MPH winds. Some debris in the yard, small dead branches and spanish moss. No major damage in our development. Vodka Press: The Vodka Press is a refreshing and invigorating cocktail that perfectly combines the smoothness of vodka with the vibrant flavors of citrus and soda. This delightful libation is a classic choice for those seeking a light and breezy drink to enjoy during warm summer evenings or any social gathering. With its crisp taste and effervescent character, the Vodka Press is sure to become a go-to favorite in your cocktail repertoire. Ingredients: 2 oz. vodka 2 oz. club soda 2 oz. lemon lime soda Directions: Fill a highball glass with ice cubes, ensuring it is about three-quarters full. In a cocktail mixing glass, add Vodka, Sprite, and Club Soda, and stir gently. Pour the mixture into the highball glass and garnish with a lemon wedge. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagarsmoker Posted 40 minutes ago #12 Share Posted 40 minutes ago Suzi just texted me that they have no power at work, and she said downtown was completely black except a couple of street signals were working. She hopes they can get the generators up and running soon as they have several surgeries scheduled this morning. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunnorl Posted 36 minutes ago #13 Share Posted 36 minutes ago Good Morning from a still dark and windy day at the beach Most of the storm went by us. We had very strong winds and rain. Even though the storm is in the Gulf, the ocean is churning. We lost power for awhile but are back on. Don’t know yet if there is any damage but it would be minimal. Very strong prayers for those that were hit hard and hopefully with the sunrise, things will be better. @Cruising-along a very Happy anniversary to you both! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Pete Cruiser Posted 25 minutes ago #14 Share Posted 25 minutes ago Good morning everyone from St Petersburg. We were lucky, but so many others were not. The storm surge was higher than previous storms causing severe flooding in the lower areas. The rainfall was less than some regular storms. The wind gusts were strong which seems to have caused more power outages. I'm headed out for my morning walk now. Prayers for those less fortunate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted 17 minutes ago #15 Share Posted 17 minutes ago Good morning. Prayers for everyone in the path of the storm. Up here, it's a cool morning, only 8C (46F) and dark when I finally rolled out of bed. But it's supposed to be a sunny 23C (73F) this afternoon. Bertie and I will head out for a walk soon. I won't crush a can, they don't want crushed cans for recycling. I like the quote. The meal, drink and wine sound good to me. Prayers for everyone on the Care List. Cheers for all the celebrations. Have a good day. Stay safe and dry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
