[nofurylike]

:woohoo:

:hi:

:hug: :grouphug:

:loveya:

you have come through what was once the most powerful atlantic storm in recorded history, possibly in the history of the world! there was no way to know what you faced, but you did, and you came through!

PHEW!!!!!!

i am posting this in hopes those who can, and feel like it, will post letting us know you came through, and how you're doing. just brief, for now. i imagine you all must be exhausted and have much to deal with right now.

please feel me, and so many pouring out healing golden light and love and protective energy!!

and please be gentle and good to yourselves and each other


peace...

(i must i am be offline a while, but i'm anxious to know how you're doing!)

1. "...please feel me..."

Why... you little scamp!! :evilgrin:

3. I was on the outskirts ...

... my thoughts are with my friends who were not - or whose homes are in the areas hit especially hard. Unfortunately, I think this storm caught some by surprise.

[nofurylike]

8. i'm glad you're fine. yes, it was a surprise to many. we're going to have

to deal with meteorologists being as confused by these new, anomalous storms as most of us are.


peace!

10. A surprise?

I saw many reports last week that showed the projected path of the storm and that is the basic path that it did indeed take.



My thoughts are with all from this community who were affected by the storm.

[nofurylike]

12. true about its path. its intensity was a surprise. but then, too, so was

the helpful speed *through* florida, thank goddess, universe, us....

it could have been so much worse, too.


peace!

[nofurylike]

5. uh-oh, on to me

:blush:

:evilgrin:


peace!

2. Doing just fine here!

We're in the Tampa St. Pete area, so we didn't get much of anything here (oter than the day off of work!!!). The sun actually did come out for most of the day, and it was beautiful. Thanks for caring, and I hope all other FL DUers are doing ok too!

[nofurylike]

9. good to hear. thank you. you've had plenty there!

off work, and no direct hit. relief, ah.


peace!

4. Fort Myers here

We caught cat 1 conditions Lots of Lee County out of Power (Luckily I am not one of them). We are under a curfew this evening No traffic light (& with our population, I'm not getting out in that mess).

From what I have seen Naples got hit pretty bad. Major flooding, road blocks set up no one allowed to go into the City, City wide power outage. Same for Marco Island & Everglades City.

[nofurylike]

13. very glad you're okay. thank you for some news from

some harder-hit areas.
sigh...


peace!

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. It will take a couple of days

to find out who got the worst of it. I hear at least 6 millions people are without power. I am sure there will be some areas that are devastated.

[nofurylike]

15. true, it will take some time. and power supply. i can only imagine how

devastated. but one day ago, we couldn't know if it would be even much worse.


peace!

7. Mexico deserves a round of applause. They got 40 hours of Cat 4

to deal with. Luckily we had a quick Cat 3. We're doing OK in Lakeland. Way on the outskirts of it, thankfully. Hope all is well in S. Fl.

Not only did Wilma let us break our record from last year - 5 hurricanes this year folks! Somehow Wilma brought winter in! It was great being able to work outside and not collapse from the heat!

[nofurylike]

16. absolutely, about mexico! and it was lucky wilma passed through florida

so fast!

i'm glad to hear you're okay, FloridaPat. hey, yes, i heard that about the cold that came in after. nice that's a relief!


peace!

[FloridaPat]

19. Thanks! Nice change from the 90+ we've had since June.

[SeanQuinn]

11. Fine here with some rain/wind in Lake Mary.

Outside Orlando.

[nofurylike]

17. thank you for letting us know! glad to hear it, SeanQuinn! eom

[fishnfla]

14. The kids took me for 15 bucks in poker!

Every hurricane we while away the hours playing nickle/dime poker. Lil' bastids cleaned me out again.

Oh it rained alot and the wind was "ghosty" all day ( howls like a ghost say the young 'uns)

[nofurylike]

18. lol! great idea! thank you for the grin! "ghosty" really suits what

i kept hearing behind all those storm-chaser 'news' reporters.

i'm very glad you and the Lil'... uh, the young 'uns are all right, fishnfla! :)


peace!

21. Please send some good thought or prayers to Geomon666

I am sure that he is not dead or seriously hurt, but he has not been heard from. The cell phone towers in his area are not working, and there is no response at his house. Thanks!
