Oh Joanna, We have the rains from Hana now and the news this morning about Ike is not good for us. He is heading straight for south florida :eek: We were just informed that the area we have hotel reservations will be evacuated if the storm reaches a cat 3, which it is now, so we are busy trying to find a hotel further west...good luck to us!!!!!

This whole situation is exhausting....glad we don't have the house to worry about anymore with shutters, pool and an old roof.

My 95 year old father refuses to leave his house, he lives west, so another worry :ohmy:

Don't you just love living in Florida in Sept & Oct.
