Eye'm in the crosshairs , center in the path, west of Orlando. Will
keep anyone subsribing here informed. Wish us luck!
Walt Disney Whorl is opening an hour EARLY tamarra, in case they end
up havin' ta close early. Everyone scheduled to begin work before
11:01 is expected to come in an hour early, too. (Not me! I go in a
1:00) Expecting a wheelbarra load of call-ins tamarra. Expected to hit
here tamarra evening.
Sometimes bein' in th' path of the eye is supposed to be better for ya
than getting the full force for an extended period as the eye misses
ya. Everything's blowin' from east to west, then dead calm, then west
to east, as it comes up over ya from the south. Last time was 2004.
We had four hurricanes blow through here. Just horizontal rainstorms,
basically. We're 122 feet above sea level on the crest of the spine
down the center of the Flah peninsula. Storm''s gotta go fifty miles
over land, and up hill, before it gets here. That has a way of takin'
the punch out of it.
The crazy people in Flah are the ones who live in tin
trailers/"manufactured houses," right on the coast! That's like
playin' Russian Roulette!

Thanks for the sentiment but it looks like just another bunch of hot
air,,,no wait, that's the wind from Tallahassee.

Seriously, looks like we got another bit of a break, at least for now it
looks that way. I'm in Spring Hill, about 40 miles north of Tampa, about 50
miles west of Sarge. Even if Fay shoots straight up we're only looking at
about 40 mph winds, probably less. The real twist is one projection that
shows Fay moving up across to a position off the n/e coast of Florida,
spinning around in the Atlantic for a while, then being sucked back across
the peninsula into the Gulf by a low coming in from the n/w.

Oh well, such is life down here. Good news for battery and bottled water
hawkers though.

Good Luck, Nasty! And all of the Flah Slugs thatnks to youse,
sincerely, to ever'one up there on the continents expressin' their
concern.
Kinda' looks like it won't be much to worry about, tho. Naturally,
the dizzy TV Newsies are blubberin' all over themselves, up to 24
hours-a-day, overdoin' it, just because it's a storm, and it's Flah,
an' gettin' on a story and beatin' it to death like a spastic idiot
with a baseball bat, because it is WHAT THEY DO !!!
-Sarge
Olympics come in very, very small, on a 12 inch b&w battery-TV. Hope
it don't come to that.

Thanx! The silli TV that stations put millyuns an' millyuns into, Up-
to-the Minit, Storm Watch Viper Double-Doppler Radar, an' now have to
trot out all th' big guns to justify their cos every time a leaf falls
off a tree down here. Anyone following the history of it knows
they're all just parroting what the US NOAA is putting out. the Chief
Meteorologist is chosen for his pretty face and speaking voice. Just
another talking head, who prolly can't tell and Isobar from a Biker
bar.
Leetle ranting there.
Jinks is out of Jacksonville, on the north coast, and the goes out and
comes back in scenario might give him some fits tamarra an' the next
day. Be carful up there, Jinks! (Is that a double entandrea bout
loadin' up the car an' evacuatin for the high ground ? Eye hope not.
All the best to ever'wun!
Still got power an' cable now.

Thanks Sarge, but I moved outa Jax. We're in Ormond Beach (Daytona
North), so Fay'll be even more tired by the time she gets to us. 'Course we
gotta keep the talkin' heads happy, so I just finished takin' all the light
stuff off the porches & patio & movin' all the heavy stuff into the corner.
Last year the talkin' heads were so frustrated 'bout the lack of storms
we had 'em over here filmin' the "flooding" caused by a "SEVERE STORM"! 'Bout
3/8" of water runnin' across the road. I got a couple of neighbors that cover
the road deeper when they pump their pools.............

Naw, man. Gary's not here, man.

I'm here and Arie's here, but Jinks moved south.

FWIW we're supposed to get rain here. And some wind gusts. BFD.

I'm terrified that Rita the Liberian Huskadore is going to get wet while
I'm walking her. Oh whatever will I do? What if I can't find a towel?

Freaking slow news day in the weather bureau. I think they're just
jealous of the sports guys 'cuz of the Olympics.

I hope that bastard slows way the heck down before it gets to you guys and
does in fact turn into a yawn. Problem with these suckers (as you know) is
they can go anywhere (including in circles) and can blow up into the Oh Shit
category in a heart beat. I'll be watching and hoping y'all are just bored
with the whole thing.

Speakin of ceement, they weren't pourin by us today either. Pissed me
off. No pour means no tester. No tester means no loverly lady tester
to spend time with. I call her Sunshine cause a day wit out her is a
day wit out sunshine! She has the nicest pair of, eh er, shiniest
teeth I ever saw. Ya that's it teeth! Reeeaaaal nice teeth! All her
own too. I could watch em for hours.

At the power plant everything and I mean everything had to be bundled
and anchored down. Cranes were lowered yesterday and today they
wouldn't let us raise them so we could work. About a half hour after
they told us we couldn't raise them another group came through bitchin
about our crane being in their way and how we were going to have to
raise it so they could get through. Turns out they weren't high
enough on the food chain to make that statement...Fireworks were
sumpin to see. Wooohee.

Bunch of dumb ass dweebs lookin for justification if ya ask me.

Yawn !!!

5:45 pm: The "center's" still down past Sebring, iheadin' NE, slowly.
It's been overcast all day(Up here near Orlando). Occasional light
sprinkles and a nice, off-an'-on breeze, temps in the 70s.
More "hurricanes" like this one, and we'll put out the welcome mat for
'um! I akshully got some work done on my rebuildin'-the-back-deck
projeck. From th' looks of the radar, it won't get much worse. Goin'
slowly by,looks to be headin' out to th' 'Lantic, souf of Cape
Canaveral.
Oh, damage. Walkin' th' dog, Eye noticed a neighbor's potted plant in
her front yard fell over, prolly frum a wind gust. I set it back up.
I truly hope no one has a more severe experience!

Yeah, the weather services are going in loops predicting all sort of
contradictory stuff. I'm pretty sure Jinks is the closest one to any
sort of threatening water, so all good thoughts to him.

As for me, Mouse is out of town in El Paso so she's certainly safe from
the storm. I've got three cats, a big dog, a couple of quarts of
tequila, some Frog Togs and a neighbor who's planning to have a huge
barbeque to celebrate the storm, so I'm just fine.
