it may be overkill. I'm a bit worried that we may get too much rain
from Gordon and have some localized flooding. I've seen the streets in
this neighborhood flood, while I was out driving. If it rains too much
to fast we're in trouble. Plus if the power is out for any length of
time that will be a bitch. It went out this morning on me while I was
downloading music! But it's back up now and I'm ready.

Hope everyone stays safe. Take care.

Are you having a hurricane there? Or bad weather? I didn't think a
hurricane was on its way to you.

Sounds like Gordon could be a bitchy queen. Hope you are stocked up on
necessaries and keep safe and dry!!!

It wound up being o.k. Rained some, which we badly need, and was quite
windy. It was sunny this afternoon and I went shopping for a washer
dryer. So, yet again, we've been fortunate.

BTW St. Pete guy, we're neighbors. I live up the road from you. I'm
moving to Pinellas Point in two weeks though.
