Default Fay.......

= hooky day!!!!!!



We're in the midst of T.S. Fay right now.... Both of our companies closed today, which means we stocked up on a ton of food and a ton of beer, and prepared for the worst.

What we GOT, however, is some rain, a little bit of wind, and a nice relaxing day off.

Awesome, glad it didnt turn out too badly for ya'll. I know we're expecting to get quite a bit of it on Saturday, but then again, the way these things change, it will flip and head south again!

I guess we haven't ACTUALLY gotten the worst she's got to offer, since it spent most of the day literally STATIONARY just south of us. We've gotten a couple inches of rain, some good squalls, and now it's been pouring pretty steadily for a couple of hours. Winds around 40 mph (I guess gusts around 60 :shrug) but no limbs down (we have a ton of huge old trees) and while a transformer blew earlier in the day, we literally only had a power flicker, never went out.

We're close to the river and a big lake, but we're up on a hill, so I don't think flooding will be an issue where we live.

Hopefully she'll have petered-out before she makes it out your way!

This storm just comfirmed how retarded most people in FL are. Everyone was FREAKING OUT over nothing. Wal-Mart was amazingly fucked up and crazy... Publix was a disaster... Home Depot was a gigantic clusterfuck...

Granted, flooding in some areas was bad (not here in Orlando), but I had numerous people (even managers) calling out of work over a few inches of rain and the threat of 50mph winds. I've been through worse storms in fucking Ohio...

My work lost power for the first time last night... three times actually for a grand total of about 1 second. My house never lost power.
