Worried about you, hope you are safe and well.

1. Is babylonsister in FL??

[elleng]

2. Yes she is.

Lives in Melbourne.
I think she posted earlier about her planned whereabouts.

She shared this 3 hours ago: https://www.facebook.com/SpaceCoastDaily/posts/1122762107811258?pnref=story.unseen-section

3. Wow, that is worrisome.

[elleng]

4. Yes it is.

See the water info article I posted?

and she replied to a friend asking if she was safe, 2 hours ago: 'am in a house west of all the water here, cement w/hurricane shutters, hunkered down with 3 other people. Fingers crossed and a lump in my throat; this is no fun.'

5. Hope she managed to leave

Pretty hairy there I'd imagine. Thanks for the info elleng.

6. You're welcome.

I added a bit about her location, and how she's doing.

[canetoad]

7. Yeah, I knew where she was

And Matthew's proximity. Looks like there is another hurricane forming to the East. Sigh.

Edit: oops, just noticed your addenda. Ta again.

8. Vibes to all our coastal DU peeps.

9. She's one town north from me.

We just started getting the bigger gusts. She last posted on Facebook a couple hours ago, and a lot of Melbourne has been without power the past hour. The storm has shifted slightly and slowed. She should fare just fine, but may get some flooding depending on where in Melbourne she lives.

10. Cheers, Doc

Thanks for the info. You stay safe too.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

11. Thanks.

All boarded up and stocked up. Surprised I still have power. Palm Bay usually loses power if a gnat farts.

12. Well Doc and babylonsister and all DU peeps

in the way of this storm, stay safe! Sending good vibes your way! Thanks elleng for your information.

13. It's pretty much over for Brevard peeps

Like babylonsister and myself. A couple outer bands coming through with rain and a bit of wind, but nothing too bad. I had power all night (and still do). My mother and paternal grandparents lost power. My maternal grandmother, sisters, and cousins did not. We're all within 20 miles of each other.

14. Glad you had no "major" events, although power

outage is hard to live with!
