Water Wings
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and concern. We're dry! Ok not totally dry but damp AND not flooded. We live in very old community (and even older home!) and it appears our FL settlers avoided the swamps for a reason.
Some of the newer (wealthier) areas are completely flooded. They drained a fair amount of land inland and created drainage fields/retention ponds. Not good for record rain fall. Yeaaa for lower middle class living!
Today I ventured out to the store for milk and it was uneventful. Thank goodness. I think later I’ll venture to the indoor playground thingy. I’m desperate. Hopefully I’ll get back to work tomorrow. We’re slated to make up our rain days over several off days in the next month. The Surfer is back at work today and I’m sure surfing some ‘slop’ this afternoon.
Anyhow – some had asked for pictures I’ll post mine this afternoon (as soon as I figure out how to plug in the damn thing again)… but here are the really interesting photo blogs on our local TV and paper web sites: (For Ylimemagic )

PS We never did lose power. Or loosen it for that matter. I spent a lot of time on the web. Shopping. Damn ETSY.

Thanks GG! Where did Fay zero in and land on? I've looked, but not with much oomph.
GG, glad everyone's safe and only damp!
YM - Fay (she's a lazy bitch by the way)made land fall on Tuesday on the west coast of FL between Naples and Ft Myers. Then lazy-days across the state to my area.
Then stalled out directly over the central FL east coast Wed/Thurs. Finally packing up her shit today and moving on to the panhandle.
Good riddance!
Wow, that does seem like an awfully random path to follow. I have family in the panhandle and was curious if they were getting any. Hmmm.
Okay, I can't believe I hadn't friended you yet and had no idea what was happening. Hello, McFly?
Glad you're all okay, if a little stir crazy.

I'm glad you guys are still safe, GG! We've had a ton of rain over the past few days, and around 4am this morning, the whole house was shaking from thunder and lightning. Not fun. Although it might have been fun if I'd just gotten up and shopped online.
