No real news

There's no news here from SE Florida ... I continue to take it easy, no lifting and healing good. I do notice if I do to much.

I have however been glued to FOX news and the internet to monitor IKE. I have many online friends that were in his path .. many have been accounted for, others are now going through the storm as they are further inland.

Winds of Ike

Ike is going over land right now, Havana Cuba. He is close enough to give us high winds. Winds are not as high as what we experienced at Lake Mead, NV .... but steadily strong, about 30 mph. I don't know if we will get any rain from him. The keys are under tropical storm warning so they are getting hit hard and bands are going over S. Florida.

I'm so glad he did not come here and I hope he is the end of storm for the season.

BTW, winds are strong enough to move our dish for DirecTV and I even feel the trailer moving.

No IKE for us

Thank goodness we are not going to get IKE, but tomorrow (Tuesday) we should have some rain and a bit more wind than we have today. It's been what I call breezy, but not windy.

All our awnings are in just in case. I'm so pleased we didn't have to evacuate. I was not looking forward to it.

The whole idea of being full timers (wait I've already said this, haven't I?) is to move when you don't like what's going on. We've put our self in a situation where we can't go anywhere.

Thank goodness winter time in S. Florida is nice.

Still watching IKE

Although we have no warnings for Broward County we are continuing to watch the path of IKE Due to his size it looks like we could get a few feeder bands, which brings rain and winds.

There is school for Miami-Dade and Broward county tomorrow, Monday. According to online weather sites we could get gusty winds and due to that information we have brought out awning in. I'm a big help ... NOT

I'll let you all know how our weather is as IKE continues to pass south of SE Florida.
