This is not a drill......

Hi Guys,

Well, after a couple dry runs here in the Keys, Hurricane Ivan is a serious threat to my part of Florida. So I'll be packing the cats, parrot, family photos, and guitars in the Blazer and hauling out of here tomorrow. I'll stop and pick my parents up and we'll caravan out.

The office is closing at noon, I'll be going home and putting up my plywood (hopefully I'm not rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic here), and loading the car.

I placed my last MF order Tuesday and it's on the Fedex truck for delivery today, so I hope it arrives. My nerves are shot, but I really really want to stay on my program even through this disaster.

I won't be on much for the next few days - so everybody keep shakin'!

Carrie

Hi, Carrie!! I thought of you when I saw the projected path this morning. I surely hope things change over the next days. So sorry you have to worry this one through once again. Hope you get your delivery, as you say, and I'll be watching the outcome and thinking about you. :pet: We'll be wondering, so keep in touch.

So sorry you are having to jump through all these hoops, Carrie.

Like I told Marge - you guys keep to the high ground, and let us hear from you soon.

May God keep His great hand of protection over you and yours.

Thanks so much everybody. I think there's a lot of praying going on right now, and we can sure use it!

I've got my plywood up and and am most of the way packed. Now to get the stuff down 2 flights of stairs and packed (crammed) into the car. <whew>

I got my MF order, so I'm good to go!

I'll be here in spirit - and hope to see that everyone's done REALLY well when I get back.

I know you're probably on higher ground by now! I'm sorry that you've had to go through this anxiety again, and now the actual evacuation. I'm praying for you and your family's safety (and your pets!) and that any damage be minimal.
