Yea, we don't have those.
Thank goodness!
Angela - you should get what we get, but about 12-24 hrs ahead of us, so keep us posted!!!!! That is, assuming you don't lose power.....
And good luck!!!
I figure we can always use the bottled water for WDW! I think I looked quite crazy because no one else was buying anything that really resembled storm supplies.
Wonder how well that web will hold up in TS force winds???
Here's hoping they're really wrong. Guess it's a good thing that the the beaches off the coast of Jax have been so cold this summer. I can't imagine it would strengthen much...
I just heard Dr. Lyons on the Weather Channel say they think (whoever "they" are) it's a possibility for Fay to stall near the coast of Jax and then turn back in.
You should rescue it and bring it inside!

While I am a Penn Stater (where 1 of every 7 meteorologist have earned their degree including the founder of AccuWeather!!) ... I do hope that the weather folks are wrong and that Fay doesn't double back on all you fine folks in Jacksonville
We really need the rain here in NC but I need it to hold off until after the Kenny Chesney Concert on Thursday
Seriously ... keeping good thoughts for all of you. If we filled the garden tub the two golden retrievers would be IN the water ... play time!!
Lots of
Until they change the forecast track again..... 
JoePa is a god at our house
HOly cow! Have you seen the latest forecast cone? Fay is now cutting diagonally across the state, justting back out into the Atlantic, and getting stuck before heading back toward the FL/GA border and heading west. Really weird!
Jen - looks like you should be okay for your concert!
It was so funny last night. Jeff told me that we're probably the laughing stock of the neighborhood, yada yada yada, and then he watches the news, and FINALLY he believes me that it's still going to be a TS when it gets to Jacksonville. I told him we could have sustained winds of 50 mph, he said "no way" and then Mr Joe Meteorologist says "50 mph" and Jeff is jumping up and bringing stuff in from outside! WTH? We've been together for 15 years, is he that clueless that he doesn't know how I watch the weather????
It took the local news to convince him that maybe it wasn't such a bad idea that I bought batteries and water. Duh!
to all you Floridians!!
I hear you about the local yokel weather people. We lived outside of Philadelphia until we moved here some 5 years ago. One of the biggest changes/challenges for me was having AccuWeather on TV for our local stations in PA and then having weather readers here
We root for all the Big 10 teams ... except when we (Penn State) play them
Jeff and I always say that's what makes Big Ten fans the best fans in college football. We not only root for our team, but we root for the conference and for our rivals, too! The SEC and ACC drive me nuts! South Carolina fans root against everyone else in the SEC and also against Clemson! Drives me nuts. Don't they realize that if all the other teams in the conference lose, it makes any of their conference wins worthless? Fay really does have a mind of her own ... as my DH would say ... "Typical woman."
Typical man to say that!
The forecast looks good here through the weekend ... but then again
Sending
I must say, "Go Buckeyes!" but I always root for Big Ten! Even Michigan! Until the last game of the year....
Oh, since moving to NC, have you picked up the accent? How about "y'all?" It's a great word!!!
Thank you! I'm feeling much better about it now. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Have y'all seen the video of that idiot kite rider who got swept up in the winds from the storm and crashed into a wall? They say he's gonna be okay, but seriously, what are people thinking???
Thanx to JaxJags08 and other locals, I have a good grip on what to expect over the next few days, so over the weekend I stocked up.
I now have 2 varieties of beer, a bottle of Relax riesling (heaven knows I'll need to relax!), peanut butter, crackers, granola bars, chips and tuna. But if I drink enough beer I won't worry about being hungry! Oh, also stocked up on tp and paper towels, got paper plates and plasitc utensils.
Also now have 5 flashlights. Yes, there are three of us in the house. Don't ask. I panicked!
Gonna clean out our big garden tub tomorrow morning and fill with water. If I do it tonight Jeff will make so much fun of me. He is soooo NOT the planner. His attitude is "it won't happen to me." Well, I'd rather overprepare for something like this.
Now onto something so much more fun that hurricanes. Banana Spiders!!! I haven't seen one since we moved, but while laying mulch over the weekend, I spotted this little beauty! He's probably 3-4 inches long (back me up fellow Floridians!!!!).
Wonder how well that web will hold up in TS force winds???
Hopefully you'll be spared. Stay safe Kara. 
Although the county offices are closed - what's up with that? Wait, I guess it's just the county courts. So they don't want the criminals out in this unpredictable weather, but it's fine to send our kids? 
Seriously, what is up with that?
