Hey, all. Here is a good site:

Hey, MagginKat. Do you live in Lexington now? John of Virginia is right. My ancestral home is quite near to his art supply shop.

Here's one link that has nice pic
Hurricane Dennis

Anyone who wants to shepherd us through the hurricane season is welcome to start a new thread...
Or I can change the headline of this one to Dennis The Menace
Just had a downpour here with a little wind and it's been overcast all day. That's probably all we're going to get on this side of the state, thank heaven!
It's still and it's dark here, Misti.
Panz, you have been good to do that, my friend, but I know that you don't want us to call you "the good shepherd." <smile>
We've been getting alot here in St. Petersburg, a Tornado wipe a block of homes. We've been getting lots of rain, and high winds 40 MPH.
Oh CG, you are right there ... hope you will be safe and sound!
Terrible driving rain on my way home from the gig in Okeechobee. Driving on State 70 eastbound I had to pull over a couple of times.
My gawd, Panz. Musicians are more dedicated than postmen.

Hey Pan, why not just ADD Dennis to your title list and well know.
We have family in Flaggler Beach and down in St PEte and Naples. I discovered that our family, once they reach 50, head SOuth.
Looks like somebody's gonna take a body blow, hope its not bad.
Well, since Ive double posted, Ill take this opportunity to invoke the weather God NOAA, to calm the waters and gentle the winds.
NOAA? Clever, farmer. I don't think that anything is too serious in Palm Coast. Isn't that were your folks live?

That's why they coined the term "genius"
Nice quote BTW...yours?
I got this thing for priests dont I? something in my past that Ive repressed? I dunno.
My lights and my cable are starting to flicker on and off.
AND as Stradee knows I have a young pregnant woman in a neighboring apt who has refused to go to the hospital. Keep your fingers crossed that this old granny does not have to play midwife in the midst of this storm.
Will be back asap! Someone click rainforest for me while I'm gone
I recall as a child, before the age of mass media, the phone network my school had in rural Virginia. In the event the school I went to was going to be closed, the nuns would telephone a small number of parents. And those parents had a pre-assigned list of other parents they would call. They, in turn, would call other parents, until everyone was notified of the news.
I wish that we on A2K had something similar. There is a good chance that some of yall may lose power and access to your computers. I wish that we had a system where we knew and trusted each other well enough to exchange phone numbers with folks such that, even if yall can't online, the rest of us aren't left in the dark.
Yall take care this afternoon and tonight. Remember that (according to an emergency official on NPR this morning) many injuries occur after a storm when people venture out.
Yall take care. Let us know that you are okay as soon as you can.
WOW, John of Virginia. What an excellent and loving thing to have in operation.
Are you still with us, magginkat?
