Hurricane Frances

[huckleberry house]

Latest I have seen is that it is now downgraded to a category 3 with a warning that it may pick up again to a 4.

Got to say I was very impressed by the MC rep. (English lady) interviewed on GMTV this morning. She appeared very customer committed and looking after the needs of the owners and guets. Did anyone recognise her? Which MC was she from??

Me too - she was so calm! I feel so much for the people who were due out today and over the weekend, I go in just under 4 weeks - just hope that it'll be ok by then. My friend who lives at Delray Beach has been evacuated - she's gone to the West Coast - blooming weather!!!

Does anybody know if you can pick up TV News stations from Orlando over the internet. I know you can pick up radio but would prefer TV it you can get it.

Whats a TD9 ???

[wilfy]

td9 - tropical depression 9 - which turns into ts9 - which at some point will get a name, once it develops into a big storm and upwards.

One report I just read says that the area of cloud cover for Hurricane Frances is now about the size of Texas and the storm itself is hundreds of miles across.

By all accounts this is a big one!

Im due to travel out on the 21st Sept. I hope the weather improves by then!!!

My thoughts are with everyone out there. Take Care.xx

This is now known as Tropical storm IVAN !

Well, as everything is so serious at the moment I figured we should all adopt a hurricane song to break this awful tension that I am sure everyone is feeling. I have butchered Barry Manilow's 'Mandy' for this purpose....

I remember Charley well
Rainin' down as cold as ice
Shadows of storm
A tree through a window
Blowin' in the night
The night goes into

Mornin', just another day
Sullen people pass my way
Lookin' in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How scared you made me, oh Frances

CHORUS
Well you came and you gave without thinkin'
Wish I could send you away, oh Frances
Hope you miss us and stop me from shakin'
I don’t’ need you today, oh Frances

Standin' on the edge of time
Walked away when the house was mine
Caught up in a world of mass destruction'
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is working', oh Frances
CHORUS

Yesterday's a dream
Ivan is coming
Cryin' on a breeze
The pain is callin', oh Frances

CHORUS
