We are so overdue for a rendevous, that I'm going to make some preparations in case, cause if it's not Emily, there's another one out there with our name on it.

Hurricane Emily
I agree...I told my DH that the odds are against us this year. As I've said we might not get the eye but even if we get high winds it will do some damage.
Saint
Still a nasty looking hurricane with sustained winds of 140 mph. South Texas is still a possible landfall, but surely will get wind and rain.
already have the rain...auugh, oh well either way just as long as nobody gets hurt I don't care. I have insurance for the worst case and can do without power in the best case.
Where is Pati?
I'm concerned about her I'm about to post a notice on the FL Forum
Judy
Thanks, Judy!
She hasn't posted in Fl Forum either. I have her number, will call her.
Molly
:^)))
I left message on home phone and cell phone not going through.
We haven't had any hurricanes here, so she's safe from that.
I'll try her again later.
Molly
:^))
Me too! I hope she is alright. She has been talking about going to NC, but I don't see her leaving abruptly.
I just love that gal!
sidney
I just double checked the threads she started to see if she posted a trip. Nothing.
Molly
P.S. I also sent a package of cannas to her and they should arrive today. I hope she's okay.

We wait!
Waiting here too! Hello pati!
earth to pati - come in pati.....
Right now it looks like no rain for me. :-(
imway2dumb,
I live in IL. and we had rain for 3 days from Denis,mostly light rain and drizzle.But that's a good thing,it didn't run off and all soaked into the ground.Denis just moved to the east coast yesterday we were in a serious drought and probably got about 2".I hope this helps keep your hopes up for rain.All that rain in TX yesterday and you didn't get any.Bummer!!!! If Emily follows it's projected path,I think you'll get rain. :-)
Jody
Jody, thats what I was hoping for with Emily but, the latest track has her going accross Northern Mexico and not turning north at all. I guess a lot of my fellow Texans got more than enough rain the last couple days but, not here. My water bill next month will be a monster.
John
Anyone have any news on Pati? Kinda anxious about her....
There has been no word on "Pati" and now I'm gettin really worried. If anyone knows her last name, please look up the telephone number of her son and give him a call, he lives right near her.

She's on the addy exchange
Her last name is Schell, and they live in Ft. Pierce. Pati lives in an apt. attached to her son's home. MollyMc has her number and tried earlier with no answer. Molly may not be home right now to try again.
I have also tried twice today. Will try again.
sidney
Did you try her son's number?
?????
She's fine. Not Emily, but some other power outage and Cyber proublems.

Just glad Pati's okay, Thanks Sidney.
How unusual is it for a hurricane to not make a turn north?
John
I don't know, but it sure sounds like the coastal areas of Mexico are not ready for this to hit :(
Thats my impression, too!!
John, even this one (the forecasters say) could still steer a bit more northerly... hopefully not much. Depends on what happens after the Yucatan P. and the pressure systems over the northern Gulf from FL to Mexico.
I'm relieved it won't bring much my way... and I feel so sorry for those in it's path who are ill prepared.
Still Cat 4 and closing in on poor Belize and the Yucatan P. :(
I'm back......hopefully for good this time! I posted here yesterday and before I could send it, the wireless internet problem reared it's ugly head again! My son is working on it and says it is fixed for good.
Looks like Cozumel caught the eye. That was always one of my favorite ports back in my "cruise" days. Of course all the reporters are staying in Cancun so can't tell how bad the damage was. Hope all in south TX are spared the brunt of the blow. So far the predicted path is to go inland below Brownsville;
Pati
Welcome back Pati :)
Janis
Glad to see you are back, Pati!
Thanks for the welcome back....boy, am I glad to be here!!!! DG withdrawal is not a pretty sight. LOL
Pati
Welcome back, Pati!
Glad your back too. :-)
Hey Pati!!! Pati withdrawal is not a pretty sight either. We were leaderless!
Awww John, you sure know how to turn a girls' head, bless your heart. *smile*
Just heard the Weather Chanel say something about a tropical wave approaching the Lesser Antilles, and one just now coming off the African coast. We are approaching the season for the Cape Verde storms now, so we may be spending more time together on these threads. Or, on a more positive note, maybe all our hurricanes will be Gulf storms this year and the bad ones are over!
