I survived Hurricane Frances!

GAWD, that was a horrible experience, too. No electricity for five days. FIVE DAYS. Like, DAMN. I thought I was extremely deprived until I saw how my brother was acting. He's sitting in the middle of the stairwell, looking up at my older sister, "I'm in despair!" Then there was lightning and a thunder, and my brother walks into the room my sister

i'm glad that you and your family are okay and suffered no major damage. our house held up pretty well, even without the plywood and shutters and all, but the screens in the screen room ripped and flew off and stuff... kind of ironic because the ones that got messed up were just done on thursday and the older screens held up perfectly...anyhow, i didnt have electricity for 3 days, and after the first three hours you KNOW i through a fit over it. i'm so high maintenace (sp, my mind is like...gone right now). so some family friends of ours live up in lantana and the shingles fell off of their house, then the insulation got wet, and the roof and walls are like...demolished and they can't even live in their house anymore and everything is destroyed. they stayed with us for like a night, now they're going out of state, probably to avoid hurrican Ivan (go figure that would be the name of a HORRENDOUS storm...lol). The daughter of the family is so cute, shes trying to apply for that Extreme Makeover for the house thing, which they probably have a good shot at winning, considering how messed up and stressful everything is with the house being destroyed and the insurance and all that crap. yipee for us not having to make up the days we missed in school. i love you, stay safe.

That sucks so bad for their house. I really hope they win the Extreme Makeover.

I was most worried about you, because you didn't have any shutters. I'm glad to know that you're okay.

I thought it was funny with the Hurricane Ivan name, too, lol.
