there is a positive to all this. Its gonna boost the economy when everyone buys materials, but whos to say the economy needs help, the way gas prices are, I remember back when katrina hit, people were complaining they couldnt get out of the storms way because they couldnt afford gas. they knew in advance it was coming, but couldnt afford gas to leave town, and of course gas station owners know people are gonna try to leave. and what do they do? jack up the price to make a few bucks over somebodies life.

: I knew cdlynn was really getting hit hard by
: Fay and then I couldn't remember what part
: of Florida Doc was from....
:
: poor cdlynn is getting schwacked! (if
: that's a word, perhaps snockered)
:
: I'm in the extreme NW part of the FL
: panhandle, right where Fay is expected to
: pass over on Saturday afternoon/evening.
: Fortunately, the winds should be less than
: 39 mph by then, but there will still be a
: good amount of rain. I'm hoping that the
: storm will speed up a bit and just fly thru
: here so we don't get any flooding!
:
: Everyone is so flippant about it, after Ivan
: and Dennis (not to mention prior
: hurricanes), but you just can't be too
: complacent. Fay may not be a hurricane, but
: she's sure doing a number over on the
: Atlantic coast of FL! Eternal vigilence.
: Learned that from Zeke. although he worded
: it differently...
:
: keep your heads down y'all!
