IVAN

[H44]

Just want to say that our thought's and prayer's are with those in the path of Ivan, especially those in Florida like Ron.  Last I heard they think its now going to head NW, so maybe it will miss Florida at least.  Not good in any direction however.  Ron; please keep us posted if it does come your direction.

Good Luck,

Brian

Brian,

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they are surely needed for wherever the Storm decides to go?

I have been very busy preparing for Ivan but it looks like we may be spared this time.  I won't breath a sigh of relief until it's past my latitude though.

Frances gave me enough scare to make me go out and buy plywood to put over my windows, especially the sliding glass doors that I have facing the west, 11 to be exact!

I have lived here 39 years and it is my first BIG scare!!

Scarry !
Hope it quiets down quickly now,
