Hurricane Jeanne is coming my way!
I live in Hurricane Alley and what a summer this has been for Florida! I staying put this time with all the pets together. Like most folks it's too expensive and difficult to leave.

So I'm trying to keep my sense of humor alive...and found this which made me laugh hardy, Jack Parker's Hurricane Cartoons.I wanted to share with all of you because I know you Floridians can relate to most of them. I'll let you all know how I make out with Jeanne...hope this brings some stress release to my Florida Friends!

Take care all , stay safe! :hug:





Enjoy DUers! :hi:

5. You guys must be going nuts down there....
This may be a dumb question, or one that has been addressed, but how
do you think this hurricane season will affect the election in FL?

6. I flew down to Tampa last Tuesday.
And they had at least two dozen wheel chairs lined up in the ramp for all the retirees returning after Jeanne was done. I was among the youngest on the plane, not counting the crew.

8. The standing joke 'round here is:
yeah,we had hurricane (Ivan, Charley,Frances,Jeanne) outside the house, and hurricane (children's name, spouses name,in laws etc) inside the house.

Nerves on edge

12. KG...I'm exhausted...
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 08:28 PM by Crewleader
this has been draining...all the cleaning up. Waiting on the insurance, need new roof and hope I don't lose the rest of it through Jeanne's visit.

No power is no fun either, wears you down but we can't let it keep us there. We just keep going, clean up and make the best of it.

I'm going to hunker down and pray we get out of this in one piece.

My thoughts are for you too...one projection was straight across to the other side...they really can't say where because they don't know, Jeanne has been very unpredictable.

Take care friend...:hi:

15. Thanks, I know the closer Jeanne gets with the High keeping
her on target with her position of late, we will be on the north of her entrance ,and that will be the strongest of the winds!

We will need all the luck we can get, thanks again!
