Well! We won't be on the deck BBQ/smoking with the Cookshack for the rest of the weekend. We have the only amateur (AREC) radio station on the island and if Dennis turns this way more we will ride it out as long as we can. Then leave while the road is still open. Someone said they have 20 foot snow drifts in Montana and close the roads - about right now that sounds better than 120 mile per hour winds.

I hope we get some rain from it. We have had less than an inch since May 19th.

Other than a blow and some rain I think we
are ok this time on the east coast of Florida
...I am certainly not looking forward to August thru October...had $10,000 of damage to house
and car from Charley last year, it hit hard in
Port Orange. Then with Francis we were without
power for 2 weeks. ugh...

My thought and prayers are will all of you folks
who are getting hit...

thanks all.worked all day getting boarded up & getting ready,& waiting.I hate waiting,reminds me of waiting to getting my CS,just could'nt wait any longer.we are supposed to start feeling the storm around 4 am sun.morn,& supposed to make landfall around 7pm sun.night with winds of 135-150 mph unless it changes its mind,thats why they call them hurricanes(heracanes)instead of himacanes.ha-ha I guess I will get a lot of slack from that one.good luck to everyone that will be affected from this storm.

Best of luck. If you need to evacuate from it, Oklahoma is very safe from Hurricanes...but we do have Tornadoes.

Moved back to Arkansas after spending 4 years in central Florida just south of Ocala. Got hit by 3 of the 4 hurricanes that harassed Florida last year and that was enough for us. Traded alligators for deer and hurricanes for tornados. This could be a long season in the Gulf and Atlantic....stay safe...

I also was born & raised in Arkansas.love the hills.here on the coast its a pain to board up,& then undo everything that you just put up,& then turn around & do it all over again & again.maybe one day I will be lucky enough to get back to the hills & lower humidity.Hmmmmm
