The Wait is Over.....DIS Land is here!! :)

I'm going to Disney the 13th - 26th. I really need like a half hearted dancing banana. I hope it works out Carla.

HEY CHERI!

Oh Cool ....

Hope weather cooperates for you too

 

[kaoden39]

oh that's good, hopefully they are. I don't think I'd ever live in the Keys. It's right in the path of pretty much every hurricane

Jimmy Buffett is the only thing that would ever get me to the Keys. I love him.

Well, you still have a few days. Lets all try and thikn positive that it loses it power or changes course



Oh wow, hope he has gotten out already

Aw, ya know I was thinking that might what was going on

I knew you would probably figure it out.

Dianna, please be our meterologist. We really need one now!

Yes I agree...Dianna will you take the job?

My fingers, toes and eyes are crossed for you.

Thanks Dianna

that would be cool to go down there and have a few drinks with him.

That would work for me. But only if I can have something other than a Margerita.

Hurricane Ike rapidly gained strength on Thursday in the central Atlantic Basin but overnight and early this morning it has lost some intensity. As of 11 a.m. ET, Ike was located 550 miles east-northeast of the Grand Turk Island.

Ike is dealing with persistent northerly wind shear which has taken a bite out of the hurricane. Maximum sustained winds near the center are down to 115 mph, but still it remains a powerful and dangerous Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Hurricane Ike is currently moving west-southwest at 15 mph. It will then turn back to the west on Sunday. Ike will remain a major hurricane as it moves westward.

Ike is a marine hazard at this point but it will threaten the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos by Sunday morning. Residents and tourists should take Ike very seriously. Preparations should be in progress for the arrival of what very well could be a major hurricane as it passes through the islands.

A hurricane watch has been issued for the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos.

After passing through the Bahamas, model guidance forecasts are indicating a turn by Ike toward the west-northwest. This will bring Hurricane Ike close to the northern coast of Cuba, the Florida Straits, and south Florida by Tuesday. Residents and tourists alike should pay close attention to the progress and forecast track of Ike. This is a very dangerous and potentially deadly hurricane and bears close watching.

Well DH went home to Louisiana to check the house and camper. Luckily everything was fine, just a mess. Here's some pictures of what he found!

This is part of the front yard:

This is another part of the front yard:

This is up towards the front yard but on the side of the house:

Here's another one of that part of the yard with the camper. You can see the big branch laying there. That is the one that was on the camper that our neighbors told us about. Luckily it didn't do any damage!!

The previous owner, for some reason, grafted a pecan tree and a hickory tree together. The end result was this tree that didn't survive the storm. It missed the barn, the shed, the house, my clothesline and the little play area that was already there.

Here's the tree from the other side:

Mommom, glad that tree missed your house!

 

[Disneymommom]

Here are the last few. We feel very blessed that all we had was the mess, no damages when so many others weren't as lucky.

This is what most the the back yard and the other acre on the side looked like:

Finally, the only building on our property that actually sustained any damage, our blue bird motel. I hope there were no little residents there!

 

[Disneymommom]

Mommom, glad that tree missed your house!

Me too Cheri, thanks! Then DH went down to the little store as all our food had gone bad so he wanted to get something to eat and they sent him over to the firehouse and so he went over and they gave him a case of MRE's and a case of water. So he said he was going to put them in the back of the camper and bring back with him, just in case Ike hits us hard. The resort doesn't have any back up power so we'd be without here. Then he went down to Burger King for some burgers.

I'm glad that everything that fell wasn't close to your house. That would have been terrible.
