Well, we made it through this hurricane and didn't lose power once at my brother's. However, we won't be able to assess what the lay of the land is until it's lighter outside because it's just after 6am here (10:00 EU time). We'll have to see what it looks like outside first, and wait to also...

It is now 12:30am East Coast US (04:30 EU time) and we still have power at my brother's, but it flickered a few times. I'm watching CNN and they're doing excellent live video coverage. Don Lemon just had a Red Cross rep on and she was talking about relief supplies on the way to Orlando ... I...

Thank you SO much Leon, that means a lot. That's exactly what we're doing, and we are a crazy bunch, so there's no loss of humor along the way too. My brother and sister-in-law are handling things very well for all of us, so we're in good hands. I'll update as long as I can, and then after...

They are now moving the heavy militart equipment from McDill Airforce Base, which is Command Com. They're closing down the long bridges across the Tampa Bay inlet. We will be up late tonight while this mess goes through. I just learned that my brother has portable phone chargers. It will just be...

We're expecting winds and rain about mid-afternoon, then higher winds up to 80+ mph going into the night where we are at my brother's, which is NE from the Tampa Bay area. If we don't lose power it will be a miracle, so if I go dark, you'll know why. There's no telling when we will get power...

In the 10+ years that we have shared a friendship, you have always been consistent with regard to helping other people, and often going above and beyond. Thank you. :aok You be careful too with your convoy to Orlando. It will be messy. :) Hey good buddy, what's the 411 on the slip 'n' slide...

We arrived at my brother's safely and he got me the internet hook-up (gotta do the important stuff first :P). We should start to feel some of the effects tonight (I am -4 EU time and it's 5:08pm right now East Coast US). I will do updates when the party starts from the laptop until (or if) we...

YOU ARE A CRAZY MAN !!!!! :rolleyes What a mess ... who luvs you too Babe. :p I'll be checking in later ... off to have my first cup of coffee today and eat something. Ciao for now! :clap

That right there just made my day SuperFly, that was beautifully said, and I greatly appreciate it. We are one big family, and it IS more than just a game. There are so many wonderful people in our community that I feel really blessed, and you are one who certainly bring a specialness to what we...

WOW ... what an awesome butterfly Kendra, that's amazing. Thanks for the birthday wishes, I am off to get ready to head to my brother's, catch you guys later. :)

I thought I would create a thread that I can use to post updates as we experience this massive beast of a hurricane over the next couple of days or so. If any of you saw news reports with photos, you can see just how huge this sucker is ... very, very scary, especially when it's going to engulf...

We're going to be heading to my brother's house today, which is concrete block with a low profile roof. He may lose some shingles but his house had a mitigation survey for wind and passed. This is going to be the worst hurricane in US history, and our entire state will be engulfed as it passes...

This is going to be bad. :(

UPDATE ... due to Hurricane Irma whose path is now a bit more west than before, and traveling directly up the center of the state after making landfall in southwest Florida, I am going to have to postpone this event until Saturday, Sep 23rd. This massive monster hurricane is going to travel...

This Saturday should be ok because I don't think we'll start experiencing anything until sometime Sunday or Monday after it lands in the southern portion of the state. We're keeping a close eye on it though, and if it takes the path up the center, or just East of the center of the state, the...

Thank you very much, and ai hope all is well with you. I'll catch everyone during ship duties on Friday. :) Back to sleep for me.

Just wanted to let everyone know that despite that I live in Florida in the US and hurricane Irma is headed directly to our state, I am West Central Florida on the Gulf side. Unless the hurricane track abruptly shifts too far West, we should be ok even with tropical storm effects from the outer...

Thank you very much for your introduction Heidi, it's appreciated. I don't see any reason why you couldn't be one of our Volunteer Mentors for Monria. I will go ahead and add you to the official list. Thank you for caring about Monria too. As soon as we complete the reconstruction of the Moon...

I spent a little bit of time in the South Crater over the past couple of weeks and there was a lot of spittin' and hissin' by the Yogs because we took them to slaughter and achieved our goal of 500 Globals in 12 hours. It was actually 506 to be exact. They don't think I understand Yoganese...

I spent a little bit of time in the South Crater over the past several weeks and there was a lot of spittin' and hissin' by the Yogs because we took them to slaughter and achieved our goal of 500 Globals in 12 hours. It was actually 506 to be exact. They don't think I understand Yoganese...
