Thank you believers!

Your belief in dreams has helped to prevent Fay from becoming a hurricane and causing any extremely devastating damage!
We were so lucky that we had just a little bit of rain, a 3 and a half hour power failure, we really can't complain at all.

Fickle Fay is still in our state at this hour, and has actually gotten a wee bit stronger over land; almost unheard of occurrence.

She is stuck in the center of our state near Lake Okeechobee where the small towns are getting heavy rains and winds, pray for those people now!

Flooding was prevalent where she entered our state around 4:45 A.M. for her second pass near Everglades City in Monroe County, next she deluged Collier County where Naples and Marco Island are. After there she headed up the coast to Lee County, Ft. Myers area pummeled them with rain of 10" or more, trees downed otherwise not too bad either.
Slowly she turned, and we only got a little bit of her remnants as she headed towards the lake region were she still is at this hour! Her first entree was the Keys.

Unfortunately, as she leaves us she most likely will come out by our Space coast, Kennedy Space Center area, and then hang out for a while in the Atlantic Ocean and form into a category 1 hurricane, and possibly turn back into our state towards our Panhandle!

Twenty-two years ago today all four of us, as a young family, arrived in this state, Florida the Sunshine State it is called, we came from New Jersey the Garden State.
Oddly enough it was pouring down rain that day too!
I can remember laughing so hard as I read that sign...Welcome to the Sunshine State!

Quiet for the next little while we are being told.
Those little blips on the weather screen off the coast of Africa are a ways away...
could be few days or a few weeks before we go under fire again.
We are getting good at this.
Not something to really brag about, but what the heck... we are survivors of many of these mini weather wars! And surviving anything that has the potential to kill or maim is a very good thing!

Good night and sweet quiet dreams to all.
