I know that hurricanes have been talked about recently but I thought I would start a post as I didnt realize that Frances was this bad. I called my parents tonight and they filled me in on the details since they get the Florida news. They said that their news is saying that this could possibly be the worst hurricane to hit the States. Its so large that right now, it would span from the Keys to Georgia.

My parents have been staying on Merritt Island to housesit, as you all know. They are leaving in the morning since they are under mandatory evacuation again. They are being told to be out by 2 PM since they are predicting it will hit land where they are staying. They are gonna follow their close friends on the evvacuation, who live on Merritt Island as well. Her husband is bed ridden and doesnt travel well at all. So my parents are gonna follow them as far as they can and then head to Mississippi for my sister's. The cat they are keeping will be joining the neighbors on their evac since they will have to come back to Florida. My parents were leaving in a week anyhow to spend some time with my sister and then come back home (here) for the winter. So they wont be returning and Dad is afraid there wont be much to come back to anyhow. Everyone in the retirement trailer park are definitely leaving this time. The news said that their area is expecting 18 foot surges!

So for those that are in Florida or who have family there...my thoughts are with you. If you have family, please call them to see what their plans are. Im sure this will greatly effect several states, so I will keep you in my thoughts as well. I plan to be watching alot of the weather in the next few days.

What a wonderful ambassador for your state.

Shawna, tell your parents to head to Washington State. The Seattle area is lovely, and I'm sure they could rent a fine house in Bothell. Forte, maybe you should help Shawna's parents find alternate travel arrangements since you have so selfishly decided to keep Florida all to yourself.

This just gets better and better. You are doing absolutely nothing for your rep on this board Forte and Astri. Continue to make those nasty comments about my parents and other tourists...all it is doing is making yourself look bad and letting the new ladies here know what we have known for a lonnnggg time. Your bitter at me and this board. You have been for a long time. The reason is unknown and personally, I dont give a hoot why.

So just keep talking...like I said, at this point, its entertainment at this point :)

Here's a thought. Why don't you just move??? Better yet, stay there. You and Gov deserve each other.
