I"M BACK IN YOUR FACE!
Sorry, I couldn't resist lol! Just to let you know- everyone here is fine ( no pun intended ;-)) We had a lot of wind and rain, but fortunatly Charlie decided to move west and north of me. I am now trying ( pm's and e-mail) to find out how my other friends around the state have faired. Some you all know ( Loufunk and Kat32807) and my college friends. I will not be totally relaxed until I hear that all of them are safe. You all understand that- right.
I have something else that I thought about last night I wish to bring to y'all's attention. We down here call Florida "God's waiting room"--Cynical, but true. there is a LARGE retirement population down here, many who chose Manufatured Homes to live in ( as well as you typical trailers ) These are the WORST thing you could live in down here. They are shaky at best in the typical thunderstorms that blow through here during the summer months. They will not stand up to catagory 1 hurricane- let alone the menace that was/is Charlie!!!!
I encourage any of you that have family thinking of moving/retiring down here to the sunny south NOT to move into one of these houses. While they are very nice ( look very much like you average track house ) THEY ARE NOT SAFE! This morning we've been hearing about deaths in Punta Gorda- in a community of these type houses. If you care for you loved ones- get them to move into a townhouse or TRUE house- and leave the trailers for the traveling-set.
Once again, thank you all for you good wishes and prayers- they obviously worked.
Peace- KC :-)
