**FINAL UPDATE TROPICAL DEPRESSION MATTHEW**

[MosMom]

I'm just posting so you know that I like you.

I can't stand living in Mississippi and I was born and raised here. I'm lucky enough to be able to travel alot and there aren't many places I've been to that I wouldn't rather live in!! California is gorgeous but expensive.

We are hoping to move to either Florida or the Northwest in the next 2 years. Nope hurricanes and volcanos haven't changed our minds!

Good luck with Matthew, from that map I don't think we will be getting much of it.

 

[Hopetobee]

I like you, too.

Do you know what happened to the other letters for the hurricanes? Jeanne was the last one I heard of, what of letters K and L? Now they are on M for Matthew?

Everyone keep safe!!

 

[gottaluvPluto]

Well, I live in Pensacola and we were slammed by Ivan. We are still trying to recover. I hope everyone has their blue roofs on because the rain is coming.

 

[Epcotgal8]

My heart goes out to all of you who have had to endure these storms.

 

[capthooksmom]

We have been getting heavy rain from now T.S. Matthew for a few days. We really need the rain here, so I won't complain too much. I'm sorry for some of the people east of us, though.

 

[TIGGER'SFRIEND]

K-KARL L-LISA Storms that didn't do much.

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

We had minor roof damage from ivan and still have blue tarps on our roof. Even though we arent getting a direct hit, eastern mississippi is suppose to get sevever thunderstorms. We will have to wait and see if its path changes. A lot of weathermen are saying some forcast models howing it ending up going quite a bit west . We will have to wait and see.

Matthew is currenty very unorganized this morning and is now Tropical Depression Matthew. He will probably make land fall in central Louisiana now. They say to expect heavy rain and thunder storms for most gulf coast states. I am glad he wont be as strong.

[Beauty]

Well now its coming towards us......LOL! Its been raining here since yesterday, pretty hard right now as DH just asked me if I wanted to go outside and play in the rain!!

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

We didnt have to much rain today but we will tommorow. We actually had one of our tarps on the roof come off. We ended up having water in attic. Oh, I wish this would end. They roof people cant get to our house until end of this week. Appointment has been schuduled since ivan hit. This is how long its taking!
Stay Safe,
Matt

 

[Tiggerlover91]

We've got so much left here to clean up in the panhandle and another storm would not help the cause.

Blessing to all of you in Matthew's path. I suppose since he's only a tropical storm, it shouldn't be too bad.....right???

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

Shouldnt be to bad. For those of us who just went through Ivan we probably wont think its much. Ivan was very powerful and I still remember our house shaking during it. We are suppose to get 30 mph winds now and lots of rain. I am just worried about trees falling that have already been weakened by Ivan. Good luck to everyone. Please send pixiedust my way and to everyone else in Matthews path.
Good Night,
Matt
