A huge sigh of relief

The worse of Frances is over for us, thank goodness. Of course we are still getting mighty gusts and gales of wind and it's still raining. The widespread flooding has missed us here in Taft and over 4 million Floridians are without power. We are not among them!!!!! We have power!!!! and, I feel a strange guilt about it.

Mike and I just walked to several of our friends trailers to see how they have faired. Everything looked good, a small limb on the roof of one, but it looks like any damage will be simply cosmetic. They are all still under a mandatory evacuation order. While we were walking back a policeman stopped us (we are all under a 6pm-6am curfew and it was later than 6pm) and just talked, we told him what we were doing and why and all was ok.

All of the ditches are filled and we do have massive amounts of rain coming...and then there's Ivan...don't really know if we are all going to be able to handle another big storm anytime soon, however, we may not have a choice.

It sure is good to still be connected!

We were out of town for the weekend but watched the news whenever we had a chance--thought of you and hoped all was well. Thank the good Lord you came through this in quite good shape. Will keep coming back to see how things are going with you--hopefully Ivan won't turn into anything more than a slight rainstorm! :)
