Re: Barb - Did Faye do any damage?

Glad to hear it Barb. I always worry when this season is about. I have a
friend in Alabama and they are vacationing in Panama City and I've called
her daily and it is fine there as well.

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?
