How is anyone still in Florida doing

[Dianna Vesta]

I just stopped by to see how everyone fared the storm. I’m happy to see that Serge & LL are ok. MikeW I wondered about you and I also hope that Doug made it ok. Isn’t he in Lake Worth?

I’m just west of Lake Okeechobee. I did decide to evacuate because I honestly thought it was going right through the lake here. I packed up my cargo van with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 5 bunnies and 2 birds. We released the chickens, set the horses out to pasture along with the goats. We figured they’d be better off loose rather then in pens and everyone could graze. I worried the whole time. This whole hurricane business has me completely stressed out.

We lost power but no serious damage. The animals are fine.

So far it looks like Ivan is coming directly over my house. It’s scary.

Florida is going to be really effected by all this for a long time. It’s sad to think that so much money went to Iraq when it’s so desperately needed here at home.

I’ll check back. I just wanted to see how everyone was and hope that you’re ok after the next one. I knew I should have just moved to Panama! Lol
