Anyone else in Florida we should worry about?

1. MiamiLiberal -- they may be fine but without power or
internet service for a while, so we'll have to snark in their stead. ;-)

2. Oh, we have plenty of snark to go around.
I just worry about the people behind the snark, that's all. :)

8. You were right!
I had no power for 4 days. I bitched and moaned about it all weekend but after the devastation in The Gulf, I feel very fortunate that power was the only thing I lost...

3. All good. Thanks, Rev!
NO major issues by me, but friends lost power.

4. Glad you're okay, Pats
I saw Merh in another thread and it sounded like she was going to have to leave her house.

5. It looks like it's going to be bad when it hits.
Just terrible. Did everything workout with your daughter?

7. I didn't talk to her today
I'm sure she's fine -- it wasn't even raining in Jupiter when I talked to her last night. I don't know if her show was cancelled, though.

12. So very, very
in jail... :)

Hi, ML! Glad to hear you're alright. Sorry about FPL. They kept going on about Deerfield. I'm screaming, Deerfield? Look at Kendall and South Miami!

The new weather guy on WSVN is milquetoast. I think they ran in the opposite direction from Miss Kamal. :7

13. Hi Rev, hi everybody. Just got back from Florida last night, was there for
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 09:21 AM by bunny planet
August, but on west coast in St. Petersburg. Nothing happened there, feel fortunate, as we experienced the threat of Charlie first hand last year and spent time in a shelter then. I have a friend in New Orleans that I can't locate however. She had talked about moving quite awhile ago but hadn't managed to do it yet. She is from Germany originally, hopefully she left early and went to stay with family. Her husband is from another part of this country originally, maybe they went there. I did watch KO last night, just didn't have the heart to post.


There is another thread about Merh somewhere on DU. Glad you are both alright Patsy and Miami Liberal.

14. Hi, Bunny
Welcome back! I've missed you. I've been thinking about PMing you to make sure you're okay, but have been so crazy at work I haven't gotten around to it. I knew you were in Florida, but didn't know if you had your computer with you.

How are you doing? I'm glad the hurricane missed you and my thoughts are with your friend in NO. I hope she was able to get out and is okay. This whole thing is just so awful and * can take so much of the blame it makes me furious.

Are you thinking about going to DC for the rally? I'm going with a few DUers from here.

Hope to see you later.

15. Hi Sharon.
Thanks for the welcome back. I missed all of you guys.

I did have Mr. Bunny's laptop with us there for the last two weeks but was trying to disengage from the news for awhile. Mr. Bunny thinks I'm addicted to DU and wants me to spend less time on the computer so I tried to stay away at least when I was on vacation. So sad to come home to this news.

We thought NO had missed the direct hit and boarded the autotrain on Tuesday afternoon (there was virtually zero news on the hurricane on the radio while we drove the three hours to the train) only to get off Wednesday morning to the news that NO was underwater and had not escaped unscathed after all. Still no news from my friend, and no way to get in touch. One sad thing is that even if people's homes weren't destroyed, their livelihoods have definitely been affected, there is no city left to work in. My brother in law's family (yes, the same one who is a converted Orthodox Jew, formerly a lapsed Catholic jazz musician from Shreveport, LA), all live in New Orleans proper, I know they evacuated, but now they have no jobs to go back to. This is secondary to the loss of life and the suffering of course.

I won't be able to be in Washington for the rally. Inundated with work, and teaching obligations for September and October. Glad the KOEB will be represented though.

I'll try and post tonight during Keef hour, perhaps after the show.

So sorry about your brother-in-law's family, and I hope you hear from your friend soon.
