Clap Hands, Here Comes Francis-Hurricane Report
Okey dokey, kids, here we go. Unless this storm does some major
calisthenics, we're going to get whacked. Storm panels are up here at Frank and Di's. All plants from the lanai extension are on the (shuttered) patio. Vandas come in tomorrow AM, after they get watered. Most folks in our area are panelled up, as are many, if not most, small businesses. I was at Publix (supermarket) yesterday, and it's amazing what people stock up on! Bottled water was available. Batteries were available. But the wine and beer aisle was decimated! Southern priorities, don't ya know. And we have the first casualty of the storm, right here in the Kulaga household. I am typing with 8 fingers instead of 10. When Frank put down the last piece of channel (which holds the storm panels) this afternoon on the patio, he made a big deal of reminding me that it was there. After which I promptly tripped over it, sending pots of herbs flying through the air and terrifying Casper the Wonder Cat. I looked like a deadly auto accident when I got up, knees skinned, shins bloody, and my right pinky doing some curly bended kind of stuff. We went to the E.R. eventually, since all the private MD's have gone to ground. After an hour, I was able to determine that it might be 6 more hours before someone might put a splint on my broken paw. We came home, and Frank taped two of my fingers together and informed me that I am not permitted to cross that piece of metal again. Oh, sure, telling me not to do something really works! I went out and did a back and forth dance on the stupid thing. By the way, we stopped at the packie on the way home. Wish us all luck down here in FL. Diana |
