Where In The World 21. We are now completely legal!!!

[goopysolelady]

And now I need to go make the soup for Redstorm for tomorrow...just heard the first loud thunder so storms are getting stronger. Something to work on until I take a break from the stove ; been saving my "eye" pictures for Ed and since he's checked in it's time to use one :

Lucky!



Kentucky is a beautiful state. I see you are going on your first trip to WDW?! How exciting!!! Where are you staying? How long will you be there??

We're staying at POFQ. We'll be there 7 nights and 7 days in the parks. This is not my first trip as my family went 10 years ago. This will be my husband's first time and of course our first time together. My big brother is going to join in on some of the fun too, but I am the planner!

You folks will have to introduce yourselves also!

Current (midnight) radar shot:

Projected paths...Weather Channel is going with the white one on the right toward Houston which goes DIRECTLY over us:

...and the 7 day forecast for us reflects that...all we see is "heavy rain and wind" :

Epcot area resort or MK area resort?

Also, BTW, I'm in Cincinnati for the weekend because it's my birthday! So I don't have my computer with me and I will be playing with my phone. So please excuse any typos from me.

Well good planning Elizabeth!!! POFQ is my favorite resort!!! And 7 nights is the right amount of time to make sure you get to see all 4 parks.

Happy Birthday!!!

I have spent a lot of time in Cincinnati! My grandfather lived there and my father was raised there. My grandfather was a professor at the University. They lived over by the zoo but their house is gone and there is a parking lot for the university there now.

I'm in WA state. North of Spokane.

Good questions Elizabeth! Is this part of a shop or food service? A seasonal display or always there?

Thought I'd better check in while I can; power "flickers" on occasion since 3 AM. This is happening now:

Looking out our bedroom window:

Backyard:

7 inches and counting since Friday morning; microburst this morning got one of the larger limbs out of one of the backyard trees; wind gusts off and on but steady wind no more than some thunderstorms; Columbus (25 miles to our west) has had 12 inches of rain and the radio station cautioned they'd be going off the air shortly since the "wind/rain is crazy". Heavy rain started at 3 AM; I finally fell asleep around 4:30 ; received a text from BFF in El Campo at 9:30 letting me know she made it through the night (she was close to where the eye passed after it made landfall); slept some more until text from DD woke me again . Turned TV on and cried. Our favorite Texas beach vacation spot is devastated ; well let me rephrase that, authorities haven't been able to get to the island of Port Aransas yet...only video they have so far is from Rockport (we drive through Rockport on the way to the island, about 15 minutes away) and all homes in rubble. They commented that all they hear is smoke alarms and dogs barking...and rain. We've had 2 1/2 inches the last 1 1/2 hours and at times can not see the back part of our acre lot. We may have adopted our next dog ... there's a stray at our front door "hugging" the door ...sweet doggy but pretty scared. We're in a tornado watch (8 in 10 chance of experiencing one) the entire day...Katy (to our west about 45 miles) has already been hit, damaging around 50 homes. Who's happy? REDSTORM ... instead of playing volleyball this morning she slept in and is eating pizza, summer sausage and cheese for breakfast. Waiting now for news conference from Gov. Abbott; his spokesperson says, "This is a Texas sized storm and will require a Texas sized response. We have a long, hard road ahead of us." And then we have the IDIOTS like the one on TV now...out at the END of the jetties in Galveston, in 40-50 mph winds with waves crashing around them, taking pictures.

Mayor of Port Aransas just talked to FOX news; "devastating damage" ...the Emergency Management Director and his assistant stayed on the island, they lost contact with them around midnight and haven't heard from them since. It took 3 hours to make the 30 minute trip from Corpus into Port Aransas...debris all over the road.

DH has birthday Thursday...August is a GOOD month! Enjoy your weekend!

While Karolyn deals with Harvey....

Where is this?

Looks familiar...from an attraction? Thinking maybe HS and Ed's asked about that park so I'll go with the MK.

 

[goopysolelady]

Happy Birthday Elizabeth.

Welcome to WITW. And no I will not be doing any "umbrella hats".

I NEED AN UMBRELLA HAT ED...actually about a dozen of them!

Epcot area resort or MK area resort?

Good questions Elizabeth! Is this part of a shop or food service? A seasonal display or always there?

Yes, this is a seasonal display from and Epcot area resort.

 

[dhorner233]

Yes, this is a seasonal display from and Epcot area resort.

Boardwalk?

I hope the worst is over for you Karolyn!
