Re: Jim

I don't know if they've gotten worse, but Florida sure seems to have a surplus of them this year. We've also got Ivan headed this way about two weeks out. Ivan is generally following the track blazed by Charley until Charley pulled an abrupt right turn over Cuba and headed up Florida's west coast. Maybe Ivan will keep on trucking and end up in Belize or the Yucatan.

Lord, what a mess. I read an article this am about a kennel that has taken
in animals for the duration. They can handle 37 dogs, but they have taken
in 137 animals and have packed them in wherever. Apparently the concrete
building should withstand the storm, but they've lost power and are working
in the dark.

Is it only because I know people (you) down there now that I am more aware
of the hurricanes or have they gotten much worse in recent years?

I'm here, Scottie, but thanks for asking.

We [Beans and I; Ms. Fatma's in New Hampshire] are entering our second
24 hours of sporadic rain and gusty wind. No anemometer, but I'd guess
they're in the 25 to 35 MPH range. The real problem is that Frances is
moving so slowly--9 or 10 MPH--so it's taking what seems like forever
to get out of here.

Right now it appears to be crossing Charley's path. Those poor people.
Apparently many of those communities had piled up the debris from
Charley but hadn't had time to dispose of it, and now
Frances has scattered it all over hell again.

Just saw a graphic on the tube. Frances has a diameter of 366 miles, so
while it's parked over the state, a considerable amount of her hangs
off both sides.
