Did you say cows??? Or Steers? Barbecue, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chels, If one flies into your lanai during this storm, I think you have dibs on him.

[renielarson]

I bet Vetman would be glad to butcher that steer..... :redface:...and actually know how!

[Rokinronda]

Looks like Fay missed us thankfully.
City of Melbourne report an inch an hour for the last 25 hours.

That's because I sprayed . . .

ALL OVER THE VILLAGES, FLORIDA ;D

Cows do fly. I know it for a fact.

We were camping and strong gusts of winds came out of nowhere. Some cows went a flying and landed safely as well as roofs off buildings and many other things.

Since they survived and were not harmed there were no bar be cues that night.

I must admit I have never seen a cow jump over the moon.

Well it appears Fay (remnants thereof) has finally arrived. It now looks very tropical rain storm-ish. Given the roration of the storm and it's location just East of us and then North of us, it will stay like this until it heads on out of the state. No complaints....I only sympathize with all the folks in the Melbourne and proximate areas that have to deal with water in their homes. I was thinking this afternoon, how much rain would it take to fill Lake Miona until it reaches my front door......A LOT (and more than we might get)....I hope and pray.

The forecast is for us to get 6-8 inches of rain.....and we just might get it.

I am glad I have cable and not a satellite right now. Those with satellites....have you lost your signal during the current condition???

Keep smilin'.

BTK ;D

Amazingly my satellite is still working,I'm pleasantly suprised,DSL internet still functioning. :bigthumbsup:

[schotzyb]

Have Dish Network. Lost signal for 5-10 minutes . Back up for now. Wind is really whipping!

I just came in from an afternoon of mahjong. Buena Vista has a lot of water on it but there is no problem driving on it. Lots of moss is laying on the roads and the wind is blowing fairly hard. I think the pool has about 3" more water in it than it had when I left at 12:15. I think the grass is happy. OOOoo a nice branch just hit my roof.

Since this is my first tropical storm and we live on one of the golf course ponds I was getting pretty nervous. I called the TV administration and was told that I might see the irrigation sprinklers go on the golf course. Meanwhile I am still a tad nervous as the water is creeping up in my back yard. And supposedly the rains will continue all night.

[punkpup]

I had heard that the storm was coming back around for the third time! The word from Miami is that it is clear and sunny today after three days of heavy rain. No one I know there has sustained much damage except some slight foliage loss.

BTW I too e mailed the TV station which posted the unfortunate flight of that Kite Boarder on their web site. It seems it happened in Ft. Lauderdale and that he is now in stable condition. Lucky man!!! I hope he'll never make a reckless decision like that again but then I have to consider whether I might have exercised any judgment at all given the same circumstances and youth. Probably not lol. I would have said, "Wow, what a rush!!!!"

As of 5 PM after a drive around Amelia East, there were two (Queen Palm) trees completely down, and several others trees with a minor to moderate tilt.

Note:* Virtually all landscaping in this Village is less than six months old.* All Palms were planted within the last three months.* The great majority of recently planted Palms that remain upright were staked on three sides.
