O/T: Another Hurricane!?
Can you believe this? Hurricane Jeanne has a bulls eye on Port St. Lucie.
All plants in under cover again tomorrow. Rot is a problem. Hurricane panels almost completely up. Mealies tried to invade, as did scale, but we found 'em. Yeesh. I haven't even got this cast off yet, and now it's time to get hurt again, LOL. Be well, all in the path. Kenni, batten down the hatches! Diana .. |

If you have any influence in these matters --- send it elsewhere-- a nice sharp turn North would be great then see if it can catch that other one that is racing North East. I suspect I will have some really good deals on Oncidium family !!! Good luck to all of you in the path of this thing, Bill |

Wendy I feel so sorry for the folks in central coastal Florida they
have had a decades worth of bad storms in one season so far, we have had tons of rain and some high wind but NOTHING like Diana and company have had, this is insane... Actually, Dave, we are lower than central here in PSL, and this part of the East Coast got ravaged by Frances but we largely missed the others, thankfully. The "Return of Ivan the Terrible" dumped about 50 inches of rain over a week, but we never got the storm itself. Where Frank and I live is about 10 miles inland and though we live on a canal we are high and dry - no flooding. All things considered, we and most of our friends are very fortunate. I know people who lost everything. Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't joke about all of this, but humor has always kept me sane. No point in a sour face! Diana |

Bill,
Glad to see you back. I know what has happened to you, and it is devastating. But think of the little octegenarian in the PSL OS who lost her entire home and everything she owned. And Robbie and Barbara Robinson, with about a thousand plants on the ground. I know it's tough, Kiddo, but without a smile it's impossible. This, too, shall pass. Diana |

Diana Exactly Right Diana, it is humor, even gallows humor, which permits us to cope. Am well familiar with your area, used to live in South Florida and collect reptiles all the way up and down the coast including the PSL area. Also my alternate number in Jacksonville covers all the way to Homestead from JAX on both coasts and the center of the state, her territory has taken it on the chin damage wise and I have had crews in the area doing damage restoral to our system. (CSX Railroad Communications) One of my Tech's mother and dads home in PSL was heavily damaged to the point they had to board up and move inland to a relatives house. Good luck to all of you there.

We are as battened down as we can be, safe room (laundry room) is equipped, Casper is the Wonder Cat is barred from getting under a bed and his carrier is ready, important papers in safe room along with meds, etc. Pray Jeanne does not hit Cat 4, and pray for those in less safe buildings than ours.
