geetarplayer Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 By the way, Vera, they say it's more likely that the storm won't be traveling very fast, but it will still be as powerful... We could be dealing with Frances for up to 20 hours. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullnaChinaShop Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Lauren and I live in the Panhandle so we shouldn't have much too much to worry about from this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray that it's low tide when it hits. Prayers, Mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't especially want to go through this hurricane, though I don't know how bad Jacksonville will be hit yet.

VeraMaria Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 I really really HATE hurricanes. I've never been in one, actually...Irene wasnt really bad, it was almost a Tropical Storm anyway. Everything in FL is either being evacuated/will be hit or ABSOLUTELY BOOKE DOUT So we have to stay unless we fly somewhere, which we wont It's sort of argh to sit here and look outside and know this huge monster is tearing through the bahamas and will be here soon...and we cant escape Oh well...just pray it doesnt hit the same areas charley hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 we are very close to the beach...but unless we fly up north to another state we can't leave, because everything's either booked solid or in evacuation zone. so we'll just have to stay here and shutter up the best we can... I really hope it doesn't hit where charley hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillT Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 To Vera, and all you other Floridians in the path of the storm, I thought I would pass along a prayer from a book I have. [b]Prayer to Avert Storms[/b] Let all the winds of evil be driven from your house, we implore you O Lord, and may the raging tmpests be subdued, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. [b]AMEN[/b] You guys are all in my prayers. I have an uncle who lived through Charley in his house in Ft. Meyers, so I know how nerve racking this is for families.
