Can I just say I HATE dial-up!! Oh, I'm grateful to have access period but this is killin' me!!!!
Still blowing like a SOB.
I feel somewhat vindicated. People were laughing at me that I took the precautions that I did. Let me tell you folks - they give you a cone of probability for a reason. No One Knows where these storms will go. If you are within the cone - TAKE ACTION.
The pool screens and debris I see around me is due to the fact that people didn't prepare. They left their garbage cans out, they left the pool furniture outside. It's not enough to just move it close to the house - get it inside. I don't like crawling over this stuff anymore than the next person, but I'm also not wanting to chase it down the street or apologize to my neighbors for the fact that my chair flew through their window.
Common Sense. That's all I'm asking for.
**I'm hearing Lakeland has taken a hell of a pounding. I can believe it. I know what I am seeing, I know Lakeland pretty well. My heart goes out to them. I don't think the reports that will go out as this storm subsides will be good. Not at all.
