Thanks, Reka. Al is in a more vulnerable spot than I, and is likely in the
middle of it right now (6 pm Eastern), but we're looking at 50+ mph winds lover night. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

OK, it's Friday morning and the power and cable are both back. Other than a
few broken tree limbs and lots of scattered leaves, we have come through unscathed. Let's put our thoughts with the folks in NC and VA who really need it. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

Good morning RGO,
Isabel: A damage report from Masons Lane, Leesburg VIrginia: This morning a survey of the property found one big tree branch down that came off one of the guardian angel silver maples near the top of the driveway. It managed to fall in such a way as to miss the entire collection of garden shrubs underneath. It is basically laid lengthwise in the center of a mulch path not even disturbing the impatient plants around it. This is evidence that angels do look after even little things when they can. There are lots of little foot-long white pine branches and fallen leaves carpeting the lawn. And none of this was here when it got dark last night. I don't see any worse damage up or down the street in my neighbor's yards. Basically for about 12 to 16 hours between 11AM yesterday morning and 3AM this morning we had winds speed of 30 to 40 miles an hour with a few gusts near 60. The rain, while mostly steady, isn't even worth mentioning as part of a damage report on my street. Her center weakened pretty fast after coming on shore 150 miles southeast of here and she still had a long way to come over land before her center was here. I think her eye passed about 50 miles to the south and west of Leesburg between midnight and 3am this morning and she was already a tropical storm and at that point. The winds didn't even seem to change based on our proximity to the center of circulation, although I think this is when the branch and tree trash was laid down. I stood out on the front porch in the dark around 1am to listen. The wind was pretty strong and steady. It was also very warm and pleasant and there was no rain. I could smell white pine in the air and figured there must be branches everywhere although it was too dark to see them. There was no power for 1.5 hours yesterday evening and it went on and off all night long. Cable and internet were down intermittently. So, if you are thinking about me, stop. There are plenty of people to the south and east that need your thoughts more. I will probably be repotting today and for this I need your pity more than your thoughts as it is pretty much all ever do anymore. :-) Al "Reka" wrote in message ... Glad to hear you're okay.

It's good to hear from you Al, also that all is well in your neck of the
woods. When you have finished repotting, please come over to my house, I have a slew of plants that need to be repotted! *G* Cheers Wendy "Al" wrote in message ...

Glad y'all came through in good shape. Did anyone see the reporter on Fox
News, out in the worst of the wind and literally trying to keep his pants up? The storm was nothing to laugh about, but that scene sure was. G Diana |

The funniest was on NBC - two guys were trying to measure the wind speed,
and the "expert" says "well, we kind of sheltered here..." and they both promptly get literally blown away! -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

I heard about that one, too. And someone on CNN who got creamed. At least
the anchor on Fox, after watching his colleague with the falling down pants, said "We really must be the stupidest people on earth!" LOL Diana "Ray" wrote in message ...
