Well, it’s been a week since Dopestock '04. OhFace and I are now sitting at my house in Jensen Beach, FL. The power is out and we’ve been sitting with family out in the back porch watching the wind blow shit away. Earlier, some neighbors and I were out in the roads skateboarding with garbage bags as sails; if it weren’t so rainy, I’d still be out doing it. Anyway, my laptop is running on batteries, my internet through my cell phone, and I just wanted to let everyone know that for now, we are doing fine. A bit bored, but fine. OhFace has her watermelon vodka, I have my bottle of Glenmorangie Sherry wood I’ve been sipping at for the last day or so. As of right now, things are shitty because weather.com shows the storm as stationary 70 miles east of West Palm Beach. FUCKING STATIONARY!!! It’s going to be a long day. Anyway, if I don’t run out of battery power on the computer, I’ll check back in. We just had to get our SDMB fix. Be safe everyone.
You stay safe! Good luck. We’re thinking hard about all the people facing into the wind today.
it is unbelievable down there. i’m watching cnn, those guys are getting tossed around. good grief is this a storm!
where is jensen beach? who is the jensen it is named for?
Ta all Florida Dopers, “This is your mother speaking!” You keep safe, you hear?
And ivylass, if you see this, I’m especially thinking of you.
The Weather Channel just said that Frances is starting to move. Just let’s get that bitch out of there!
Take care, everyone!!!
Dudes, it’s Frances. Be safe!
You guys be safe! We’re thinking good thoughts in your direction!
I have friends in Orlando. Sending good thoughts their way.
Good luck dopers.
Well I made it back to Miami after the crazy hurricane! Yeah I know, I drove right into it, but belive me I had good reasons. **Flander ** and I survived hurricane Francis, but it did hit us hard. I made my way back to Miami last night; unfortunately I had classes today. Flander is still without power, but is one of the lucky ones with running water. He has intermitent internet access through his cell phone, which gets signal occasionally. I felt so bad leaving and coming back to my air conditioned hotel, but hopefully they will have their power back very soon. The area there got very torn up, we saw some massive damage when we drove around town yesterday.
Hope everyone was able to stay safe.
