This was the first time that Ft. Laud. ever got a direct hit and I think it will be true for New Orleans.

No shit. I've lived here for 12 years, evacuated only once (which was a complete waste of time). Mr. madleinx has lived here all his life, don't think he's ever left. This one has me spooked...looks like it's coming straight to my house!

We will be leaving at 4 a.m. to go to my parents in northern AL. Hotels are supposedly booked as far north as Nashville, and I'm sure Houston is full too. Hope everyone else gets out okay and stays safe!

Just because Torn kept on asking for silly storm pics here you go,
Four silly after the storm pics.

They are coming tomorrow to setup getting my fence fixed. I'm removing all the foliage from on top of it today for them.

I'm way too tired to show any love today.

Just got in from cutting up the rubber tree. I put all my yard tools away for the next fucking storm.

My legs are all scratched up. My arms are itching. I have a burn on my leg from the hot chain saw exhaust. I have muscles hurting that I didn't know I had. This fucking sucks but it feels good to be done.

Fuck I hope this is the last storm of this season!

We are also in Broward County, eye went over us too. Had a bunch of limbs down, two trees laid over and the direct tv dish damaged, but no structural damage. We were without power for 72 hours, just got mad cuz the other side of the street(across the street) had power 24 hours before we did. But all in all, everything is good.

I am being powered by a generator. They are predicting that I will be without power for at least a week and possibly two. Anyway I survived. My ass hole was pinching button-holes in my chair so I did not get many pictures.

This is looking out my back door toward the lake. I was trying to get a shot of the sheets of rain. Have you ever seen a fifty acre pond whitecap?

http://choponthelake.com/katrina/sheets_of_rain.jpg

Not one, but two trees fell on my car. Not sure but kind of looks like I will need a new car and a new roof on the party room.

http://choponthelake.com/katrina/car_under_tree.jpg

Just a report and to say I am glad to be here tonight. Probably will not be able to get back into full swing for a week or so but I will be checking in.

I don't think Linkster got hit too bad in the Sex Delta. Hope he is safe as well as our friends along the Gulf Coast from Pensacola to New Orleans.

Our local online newspaper has some really good reader submitted photos
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/wea...1.photogallery

This one is right by me but really there are so many down that it is hard to tell if this is the one I'm thinking of. I live off of Bayview drive and they have more pics from Bayview drive too.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/wea...llery?index=30

It's amazing seeing how high the roots become when they fall over.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/wea...allery?index=9

I'm just really glad that I don't live where it hit today. It was a strange storm forming so close to south Florida and then becoming so strong so fast.

Good to see you post Chop, I was worried my cheesecake was in danger

I tried calling Linkster about 6pm EDT and instantly got his voice mail so I assume his cell phone towers are down.

Chop glad to hear that you are ok and have a generator. Hopefully your internet will last.

Hope Linkster and everyone else are ok with just a bad case of frazzled nerves.

I once more tried calling Linkster and this time I get an automated voice service

"Due to the Hurricane in the area you are trying to call, phone service is temporary out of order"

Hope all is well Linkster and everyone else in the area.

One quick post. We are still without power and telephone including cell service. No place to get gas to run the generator. Bo went to Jackson to his boat yard and emptied the gas out of the boats there but it is not going to last long. Today, Rural Power Association service man checked on me and said it would be two weeks before I had power.

Linkster is about 70 miles west of me. He is probably without power and phone but should be okay as it did not hit that area as bad.

I see from another thread that Linkster has been heard from and is ok.

Sign of a real pro webmaster: "No power yet ....Cable modem is down so I'm using my backup ADSL" In other words; She got back online before she got her power back. That's what I call getting your priorities right (assuming you hooked the coffee machine up to the generator first).

Start of the day after…

Get up from sleeping in my 70F bedroom, turn off the A/C and pull down the blanket blocking hot air from coming through my not completely closed bedroom door that has the one room A/C's vent stuck through it venting out of my bedroom.

Put kitchen fan on high and put espresso on the stove and turn on the stove.

Grab fire extinguisher and hit button to open electric garage door and pour another 5 gallons of gas into the generator from my 8 five gallon tanks of storage.

Come back into kitchen, hit the button to close the garage door. Pour espresso and add cold cold fat free cream from the refrigerator. Turn off kitchen fan and stove.

Go to my office, turn on the TV, satellite is working, and put the fan on high. Notice that cable modem is not working so I plug the ethernet cable from ADSL modem into my laptop.

I hate this…
