I know there's a few of us in SoFla now, is everyone ready for Katrina? I'm set and ready, but then I've only got 500 feet on the 11th floor! ;D

Ya, it seems to be hitting the county line betweeen Broward and West Palm, so it'll seem like just a bad thunderstorm to us.

Should see nothing but loads of rain here in the north. Frankly....the heat has been so oppressive now for so long I am looking forward to the rain and cloudy days. But you guys down south be careful!

Checking in Netmom.  Anyway, I'm fine. The power is out in my entire neighboorhood, so I'm sitting in Aventura Mall using the Mac stores wireless connection. I gotta work today to! Damn mall, why are you open!! Anyway, I hope power comes back soon! Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica are on tonight! |

I know you guys are used to this type of thing but I'm still praying for you! I may not have written much in the last little while but I've not forgotten about you.

Whew, powers back on, so I'm back to normal. Some areas won't get their power connected until Wed. at the earliest!
CT, ya, my family and I are so used to this, we're all like "It was only a Category 1! I sneeze harder!" But really, it's still dangerous. Didn't stop me from sitting on my balcony watching it hit though! ;D

Kim,
Do we have anyone up in the New Orleans/Mobile area? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. News this morning at 0430 is looking quite dire for that region. This storm is shaping up into a real monster.
