Good luck to SoFla HCers

[guzziguy]

Here's hoping that hurricane Fay doesn't hit SoFla (or anywhere else for that matter) too hard. Good luck guys!

here's hoping it takes out tampa instead.

Vicki messaged me this morning to say the storm had started, but it was just in the "fun to watch" stage.

[Aura]

Amen, stay safe .

Vicki likes you better than me. It must be the hat.

So far not much of a storm other than some rain. We are supposed to get some more bands coming through over night but I think we will miss most of the action.

[Voltron]

Missing that action is a good thing. Stay safe Mike, Vicki, Dom, Crappy, etc.

We're not getting too much on this side so far. This morning the winds were up to about 60mph, but that died down around noon, and now it's just a steady rain. Matt and Gene are both on the west side, where, if there's going to be any real impact, Fay is supposed to hit. Supposedly just a Cat 1, but those rains can still be vicious.

Thanks for the wishes, guys. Hopefully there won't be a later need for same.

Don't take it personally, Ken. I do like the hat

All I have to say is that Fay better not mess with Matt the Younger if it she knows what's good for her.

[tkam]

Good luck hopefully she misses you

There's a Hurricane Vicky this year, not that I'm wanting it, but if things gotta go down in one....

[guzziguy]

On HF, there's a hurricane Vicki every year.

stay dry and unplug the good gear to ride the storm out

[n_maher]

I suppose that hurricanes are good justification for a battery powered portable rig. Glad to hear that it sounds like the storm wasn't too bad.

Does he have the Clap again?

[Dusty Chalk]

Batten down the hatches!

[Augsburger]

It seems like you all managed to dodge the big one, except for that poor parasailer.

Glad to see you are all fine.

fify

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, really, what sort of idiot goes parasailing in a potential hurricane?

[grawk]

someone who wants really good wind

[Dusty Chalk]

You mean, "strong" wind, right? Because he got strong wind, but not necessarily good wind. In fact, "assault and battery" is probably more indicative of "not good".

[NightWoundsTime]

Just rain here, which keeps going. And going. Oh well, at least it's not 95 degrees.
