Hey..... I wouldn't wish a hurricane on anyone. It rained quite a bit before hurricane Dolly, then during hurricane Dolly... and has rained almost every day since. We have schools that are having problems with sewage backing up still. We really need a big break.

Bring your boo on down here and hang out with us... we can watch it on TV. :D :D

I'm hoping it was a typo, and you mean "wouldn't". :wink:

Wow! Is it still alive? Hope so. That plant has been very slow to upsize, so if it doesn't make it you might have to wait another year or two before I can cut off another little clump.

As of 11am EDT, it now looks like Marcat might be in trouble. It may even go further north before it is over, but (sigh.....) it looks like Ike will leave me alone....... :compress: :bounce: :salute: :salute: :la: :la: :hello1: :hello2: :hello2:

Anyone wondered were I live just follow the center line of the cone of probability and you will trip over my place. Aimed right at me. Now this is getting personal, Ike kepp on coming and when you get here do not bother looking for me I will not be here. P.S. you better leave my Boo's alone.

Sorry to hear that you're in the path, it's looks like a big one. Good luck with your evacuation and I pray that your property will come through unscaved. We on the upper Gulf Coast are relieved but at the expense of someone else; it's never a good deal. Well, I guess I should go out and pick up limbs left by the last storm and try to mow without bogging the mower again.

Mantis,

Are you hoping for some rain out of this one?
