curly4dana Posted August 13, 2004 #302 Share Posted August 13, 2004 hey petra!!! don't worry about us...i'm worried about lisa! she's right in stupid charley's path! the news JUST said that he might hit further south, so lisa might get lucky...i'm praying it does for her sake. so far all we have right now is some gusty winds. no rain until later... i'm trying to decide if i should oull in all of my orchids. they hang in a tree in my yard and it's getting a little too windy...i have almost 60 of them, so talk about a pain in the butt...oy! i'll go look at the tree and see how they're fairing... i'll be around most of the day...catch y'all in a bit.....

cruisin-Trish Posted August 13, 2004 #303 Share Posted August 13, 2004 [SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkOrchid]Hello Hounds! We're praying in Kentucky for the Florida Hounds! Dana, how far is Eileen from you? Hopefully, all you'll get is rain! Lisa, hope it loses force before it gets to you! Or better yet miss you altogether! It will be a long night of waiting! I'll be on in the wee hours waiting to hear everyone is ok!

PammyHound Posted August 13, 2004 Author #304 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Okay all you Florida Hounds, time to dig a hole an take cover! Don't poke your heads out until the coast is clear! We'll be thinking about you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curly4dana Posted August 13, 2004 #305 Share Posted August 13, 2004 thanks guys...ok, here's the deal...charley just went up to cat. 4 and the winds are 145 mph. it looks like it's hitting near captiva/ft. meyers as we speak...now they say he'll go across the state towards daytona and that daytona could get a cat. 2 hurricane, which would suck because they weren't warned at all and that would be a cold shot! we may be in for winds up to 75 mph. rick and i just moved everything inside and most of the babies have come inside, too. a couple still want to play in the wind.... ok, off for now...be back later...

curly4dana Posted August 14, 2004 #306 Share Posted August 14, 2004 i'd say we got off pretty much scott free! a little wind and not much else. in fact it didn't rain a drop all day...weird. looks like lisa might have been ok, too. i hope so. off to watch the rest of the olympics... have a howlin' nite all you hounds....howl at y'all in the am...early day for me tomorrow!

Little Red Posted August 14, 2004 #307 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi everyone. Dana and Lisa, glad you guys made it through ok. I'm still worried about some of our other Florida cruisers. Guys - please check in when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserlisa Posted August 15, 2004 #308 Share Posted August 15, 2004 [size=3][color=blue]As most of you know, good ole Hurricane Charley missed us and went south of us. So we are sighing a big sigh of relief. My daughter and I decided that if we get a hurricane like Charlie coming at us we will leave. After seeing what happened in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, I can't handle that. Thanks everyone for your concerns and prayers.[/color][/size] [size=3][color=#0000ff][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#0000ff]Lisa [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
