As a resident on the East coast of Florida (just north of Port St. Lucie....see map, above)
...this has been one weird journey! I live in a high rise right on the ocean...so we were told to shutter up and find another place to stay. Old Doreen in the penthouse stayed...and even left her windows unshuttered....she's a tough old bird....visions of Captain Dan riding the top of the mast come to mind (from Forrest Gump)....

But I digress....

I went to stay with my son and his wife and 3 year old - 60 miles south and a dozen or so miles inland in Jupiter...but they had just moved in to a new home...complete with no furniture (or anything) delivered...so we had to go buy inflatable mattresses and utensils, and food.

Then we discovered (via an emergency call to a plumber) that the previous owners had botched the drain repairs....so both sinks were clogged, and the bathtub was backing up....and that was just the beginning of the mess.

Fortunately the storm turned northward...and as the meme above artfully expresses...is taking forever to move out of our area.

It doesn't mean much for us...30 MPH winds, and occasional downpours....and you can probably tell I've been without internet for a few days...(no modem)....so we're hoping that one day this storm will move out of here....
