Re: Barb - Did Faye do any damage?

As usual, the news grossly exaggerated what was simply a tropical storm. We
didn't even put shutters up. The damage TV is showing is from some small
tornados, and of course they hunt for any disaster they can find. We have
friends in the Keys and they said nothing serious, either. We did get a lot
of rain, but we are fortunate not to be in a flood zone, but some areas may
have had some minor water problems, but nothing like the floods in the mid
west. Our pool overflowed, that's all. It never turned into a hurricane,
though if it hadn't gone ashore (in Naples on the west coast) when it did it
probably would have, as the eye was beginning to form. It's still breezy
down here, but sun is out and I just came in from the pool and pulling all
the chairs and tables out that we had tossed in.

I just hope that's our storm for the season. You know we have lived here 21
years and only had 2 storms that did damage (Andrew and Wilma). Andrew was
really scary, but a tropical storm, or even a category 1 hurricane is no big
deal unless you live in a trailer.

Thanks for your concern.

I've been thinking about you and wondering what Faye has done/is doing?
