    Well, here we go again, except we are going away this time. We will be going to Mims, above Titusville, to our friends house. He has generators, he is an ex-Fire chief and has all the gilhoulies, he also takes videos for the news stations. <br /><br />I'm sure everyone now knows that hurricane Frances is a very big storm. We are very concerned about our SeaRey in the hanger at Merritt Island. We saw the damage of airport hangers from Charley, so all we can hope for is that the damage is repairable.<br /><br />We also hope we have a home to come back to. Our prayers are with everyone who has gone through Charley, including us on a smaller scale, and who now will go through Frances; and that this time around will be a larger scale for us.<br /><br />Good luck to our fellow SeaRey friends during this extremely large hurricane. The weathermen are saying this this will be the 'normal hurricane pattern' in the future and not the abnormal pattern, very frightening. Also this is the first time in 100 years that a hurricane ever struck Central Florida head on.<br /><br /> Judy B<br /><br />

    Judy, I'm just hoping it will stay way south, and it's path has shifted to the south, however not enough I'm afraid. Good luck, and the Good Lord willing, stay safe.

    We will be keeping close watch and hoping that all our southern friends escape this second threat in good health and minor damage. Good luck..

    We are watching the TV news away up here in northern Canada and thinking of all you folks in the path of the storm. We hope and pray that you will all be OK and that the SeaReys survive too.

    Judy,<br /><br />From the looks of things, your hangar won't sustain the kind of damage we had in Orlando and Winter Haven. Your home is prolly safe, too. I'm sure you'll be able to go back tomorrow - Monday 9/6. <br /><br />Minor correction... this is the first time the peninsula's been hit head on - twice. It's only the second time that any spot in the US has been hit twice in three weeks. The first time was in the mid 80s in the Virgin Islands.<br /><br />With any luck, Ivan won't decide to visit Florida!

    It's only the second time that any spot in the US has been hit twice in three weeks<br />Wrong! SC was hit by Charlie and Gaston recently, where were you?

    John,<br /><br />I was here in Florida where we survived HURRICANES... not wimpy tropical storms! &lt; g,d&amp;r!&gt;<br /><br />Watch out, bubba, ya may see Frances later this week and Ivan after that! We'll be glad to send Ivan to SC head on. Just to give ya a taste of whatcha been missin'!<br />;-&gt;

    Well, we finally got home Monday and we were very surprised and thankful we had no damage, except parts of our old fence came down. Our plane made it ok, but the hangers opposite ours had their doors pushed in from the winds. We went to friends in Mims and they had it worse. They lost power on Sat, he has 3 generators, they lost 6 trees, a couple large oak trees and very tall palms, and at that point they had 91 mph winds!!! It was amazing to actually see these trees break like breaking a tooth pick. Still, we went to the right place. We were with friends and had alot of comforts with the generators. We apparently lost power at our house for a little while, but it was on when we came home. Our friends still don't have power! When we left to drive home we were trying to race a tornado that was spotted, our friend's raced to get videos of the tornado for the news stations!!! Now we wait for 'Ivan the Terrible.'<br /><br /> JB

    We just found out our neighbor across the street from us had flooding in three of her four bedrooms, and major loss of shingles from the roof!! She is next to a canal, but the feeling is the rain and winds pounded the windows and sliding doors and came into the house. The doors and windows had no protection on them. JB

    Glad you're ok, Judy and Bruce! One of the oddest things about weather damage is that it can be so random--one house gets hit hard and the one right next door is fine. It makes people look for Final Causes, because 'random' doesn't seem fair.
