I am enjoying the posts and threads this afternoon. Very pleasant posts and great reading!
Thanks everyone!
However, I admit to be a bit worried about those of you in Charlie's path - I hope you weather the storm unharmed...
Congratulations to those who received their documents today! Sounds like there were a few people who did, how exciting :D

We live in Orlando and I help run a large business here. We are having our employees work from home tomorrow (software business) so that they can be near home to do any final preparations.
I was supposed to spend the weekend in St. Pete... not a good weekend to do that. :(

Keep us updated if you can - I'm sure many posters will be worrying about all our fellow CC's down in Florida.
Hang in there!

Those in the path.. Be safe!! I have to drive to Savannah this weekend for a funeral. I think I better have some new windshield wipers put on before I leave. Looks like rainy and windy days ahead.

Our son, who lives in Orlando, is taking in four people a cat and two dogs tonight. His friends say that I-4 from Tampa eastward is bumper to bumper.
Just clouds and a little wind here. We wait for the rain to come from the south and west. I guess tomorrow we will get lots and lots of rain.
We lost power twice this afternoon, but as you can see we are up and running again. Even the DSL which usually takes a while to come back.
Our friends in Palm Beach County are getting lots of rain now.
Wish there was a little icon with an umbrella......
