:thumbsup2 Good start; this is from a park. :tink:

MK? Is it a bee?
 
Terri...when you mentioned livestock, I remembered this picture DD posted on Facebook. Finally got a few minutes to go back and find it....



  1. Only a Texas woman would go stand in flood water to argue with a Longhorn!.....but mom, that's where my pasture is....not any more the San Jac has claimed it! :tink:

Too funny, is she wearing a dress?!?!
 

WOW TERRI...just saw a current radar and looks like Florida is really getting hit with some heavy thunderstorms! :scared: Red on the radar can't be good...hope you're staying dry! ... and our friends arriving at DW today may need to explore their resort this evening instead of venturing out in that mess! :rolleyes: :tink:

We are good here. The west coast has some flooding, mostly from storm surge. Should be over tomorrow. This is just a mild reminder that we must be prepared. We got hit hard back in 2004, but a lot of people tend to forget how serious these storms can be, especially when we go for years without a bad one.

So true; weather people around here are reminding everyone of Hurricane Ike...8 years ago already! :rolleyes: That's one etched in our memory; we were scheduled to leave for DW from Houston the day Ike was to come onshore in the Galveston area. Around noon the day before the authorities were already announcing times the Bush Airport would "cease operations"...only about an hour AFTER our scheduled flight. :scared: We didn't want to take the chance so we began a frantic search for a flight to get us out earlier...problem was...we needed 8 seats. :rolleyes: Four of us on different phones begging airline representatives to find something! Finally SIL managed to "sweet talk" a young lady into overbooking a flight into Tampa. We knew we'd be risking 2 of us being left behind but grabbed it. Slight problem...departed 6:45 AM, meaning we needed to be at the airport at 4:45. Not willing to risk the chance of the highways INTO Houston being closed for evacuation, we went into "full panic mode" getting ourselves packed and leaving for Houston by 9 PM...DD managed to find vacant rooms at an airport hotel so we'd have a place to stay. DH had to stay behind (he was needed for emergency management) so I was able to leave the house in disarray (literally with dinner dishes on the table yet :rotfl:) and get to Houston with DD's family and friends. Our flight left on time the next morning with seats for all 8 of us; 1 hour later they shut the airport down...5 hours before they'd originally said it would be necessary! We would not have made it out had we stayed with our original flight! :sad2: DH had to wait until they reopened on Monday to get to DW but had one of the best vacations EVER (especially for me 'cause I had a room at the Polynesian ALL TO MYSELF for 3 days! :rolleyes1). But, like you said, not everyone remembers the storms and a LOT of new people have moved to the area since 2008. Looks like it should clear out by tomorrow so "all is good". I haven't talked to my friend in Lakeland yet but looked like she had some pretty good rains too today. Hope things continue "on course" for the rest of the week! :thumbsup2 :tink:

You were lucky to get the flights, that would have sucked if you all had to fly in three days later. Up here we remember the ice storms and blizzards. One ice storm we had, it was in December and we lost power for a week right before Christmas. Not fun.

:scared: That would have driven me CRAZY! :crazy: I do SO much the week before Christmas and to think of doing it without power...:scared1:! We were SO lucky...and don't think it would have happened without SIL...he can "sell ice to Eskimo's"! That was the Princess's first trip and we were actually going to DRIVE if we couldn't get a flight out! We had to rent a car and drive from Tampa but gladly spent that extra $100...and we arrived at the Poly around 11 AM. After explaining our "ordeal", they managed to find us rooms ready to be occupied so we could rest! :woohoo: Speaking of the Poly...do you ever listen to Kungaloosh Radio? They're the only place I've found that actually plays the "music loop" from the Polynesian! I've only heard the loop once but almost every weekend night around 11 PM central time they'll play at least 10-15 minutes of Polynesian music. I LOVE it...especially at night...it's SO peaceful! :tink:

Never heard of Kungaloosh Radio, where can I find it I would love to listen to Poly music.:cloud9:
