Rather B. Paddlin said:Just a thought. During Ivan everyone kept asking Kurt for damage reports (me included) on their specific properties. If Dennis does hit and Kurt is in the area immediately afterwards(with power) maybe he could lock a thread at the top of the forum with general reports by community or neighborhood. We are all anxious, but it is alot to ask Kurt to be looking at specific properties. Kurts post Ivan reports last year helped us keep our sanity. Kurt be safe and again thanks for this vehicle of information.
If anyone has property in the Gulf View Heights area or the Pelican Circle / Whites Gulfview area give me an email and lets start an email chain to facilitate the sharing of information this weekend. Paula - I believe your houses are not too far from Whites Gulf View.
FYI - We have asked next week renters to delay their plans. We have committed to boarding our houses today and tomorrow. Has anyone else started boarding or are you waiting???

Patience, patience.

OMG! People are already getting surly at the gas stations. We just filled up, thanks to this message board.

Look for mandatory evacuations of low lying areas and people with special needs to come any time now.

I have a few cozy books to keep my sanity, but I am almost certain that my cable modem or power will be out. Those of you who asked me to check on your houses, I will give you reports when it is possible. In the mean time, stay dry and try to relax. Pop a Guiness for me.kurt said:Good idea.
