What brutal devastation. The images and stories being told on TV are horrific, and there is still much that is not known.

So Rita is spraying her stuff up my way.

For those of you who haven't experienced a hurricane or tropical storm it may not be like you think.

The outer bands that have reached us today are like this: It rains, rains harder, then it stops, and sometimes clears up enough to let the sun shine through and then it repeats itself when the next band comes around.

As far as the winds they come in gusts. It's not like a constant wind. They build up and up while you hold your breath praying nothing gets destroyed or knocked over and then it lets up. When we had the three storms last year it's like that the whole time.

I had always thought it was one constant wind until it passed by.

If you look at the uppermost part of Florida that's shown is what's going on here.

Yes, hang in there, Leen, and let us know how this storm plays out. It is supposedly headed our way once it gets finished messing with you guys so I will be monitoring the board and the TV weather very closely, even if I have to do it from somewhere else, which looks likely

We county employees just got a 4-day weekend thanks to Hurricane Rita - or should I say Hurricane Katrina - because there is no way we would be getting this time off if the public officials of my county were not able to imagine themselves facing the wrath of an angry public ala Nagin, Blanco, Brown, Chertoff, Bush, et al.

Wheeeee! I finally have some extra time to clean my house. Hope the electricity doesn't go out - it's been a really hot September.

I work with this lunatic that believes the government is controlling these things and slamming them into US cities in order to kill the poor. She told me this morning that we're pretty safe because the headquarters for this hurricane control is located here in good ole Tampa.

Anyone else hear this?

Anyway the SEC (Second Echelon Conference) will really be exposed if they play OSU. Too bad the Gators won't get a crack at either Michigan or USC, muchaless Ohio State. A match against Michigan would have blow-out written all over it, and is that really how you want to end your season? Much better off with a cozy matchup against the ACC or Big East champ.--MJHBUCKEYE

Actually, it's a moot point now anyway because Florida is going to get the nod. We'll see you in Glendale. My boys will be the ones with the pride stickers on their helmets blowing up the scoreboard on your boys.

There's always been people like that, and there will always be! And hang in there everybody else!

Yes, I did hear this. Like some kind of ethnic or socioeconomic cleansing! What the crap? Is your co-worker the one who started it? lol Sorry to hear it but glad you are safe in Tampa anyway!

The story I heard is that a weatherman in Pocatello, Idaho has concluded that these storms were created by Soviet technology that got into the hands of the Japanese mafia.

I heard about that weatherman, also. It seems like big disasters always bring out the crazies and lunatics saying that it was caused by God eliminating unholy people or some sort of government conspiracy.

Yeah, she tried to tell us it was the government's way of eliminating the minorities and poor--200 billion dollars is an awful lot of money to kill a few hundred people, huh? She then went on to tell us that we're safe in Tampa because this is where the "hurricane steering command center" is located...I wonder if she remembers the FOUR hurricanes that swept near or directly across Tampa last season.

We laugh about the absurdity of this, but the sad fact is she truly believes it to be real. No matter the mountain of evidence or logic shown to her, she refuses to believe the government isn't behind it somehow. Some people's lives are so empty and unfulfilling they need to be a part of this knowing lunatic fringe to add validity to their otherwise pointless lives.

She's ripe for joining a cult. From what I've heard, she's fallen for just about every pyramid scam in history and was at one point a member of Scientology, but now absolutely refuses to believe there is a God.

Well hi there all! We are getting blowing wind and rain. Gusts of up to 50 mph from what the reports say. Obviously we still have power so that's a good thing.

I'm draining the pool some as the water level as reached the top.

The good thing is when this thing blows over the cooler weather will be here.

How you doing over there NYR?
