delld Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 We are about 34 inches short of rain for the last 3 years. We really need rain so bad!!! Now Beryl is on his way! Winds only about 40 to 50 miles per hour. Should start raining tomorrow late afternoon.! Hope this will put out our fires!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Keepsakes Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Dell, we are all rained out here! If I could send it your way I would. Hope you get some wet weather soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hopefully it will be nothing more then a lot of rain and a little wind. Be safe. I can't believe we are on the 2nd name storm of the season and it hasn't even officially started yet. Be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I hope you only get the much needed rain and no wind damage along with it. Seems the weather goes from one extreme to the other......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks for the good thoughts! We are getting a lot of wind right now. Had one slight shower a while ago. I'm trying to decide if I should sew or paint! We got the ceiling painted yesterday in my addition to the studio and I really need to start painting the walls. I'm a little concerned, if I start painting and the lights go out, I won't have water to get clean. I usually get as much paint on me as I do the walls!

Katydids Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Dell, send some of that rain over to the Panhandle! I looked at the track and it looks like it is going to turn back out to the Atlantic. We sure could use some of that rain over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Patty I would love to be able to share! Maybe some of it will head over to you, but I think we are going to get a double dose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 It's 8 p.m. and the wind has picked up and there is some rain. Most of the rain has gone south of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Dell - I sure hope it puts out the fires down there. I saw some of them on the news and it looks just scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi everyone! We are safe! We lost the lights at 9:30 last night and it just came back on 1:30.Bobby spent the entire morning working on the generator and getting it started! Amelia Island has lots of trees and large limbs down. They said that most of us will have power within 48 hours. We are so lucky! A house down the street has a huge pine tree lying right down the middle of the roof. No one was hurt. The return visit hasn't made it here yet. Waiting to see what else it can do!

delld Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 This is the canal at my river house in Nassauville. It is a BIG mess! So much marsh grass you can't even see the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Glad you are all safe. Looks like the outer bands are just east of Panama city now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dell yes that looks like a mess. I'm glad you are safe. Hopefully the 2nd round won't be too bad. I hate when those buggers do a loop and come back at you again. We were in NC when Floyd hit and he hit us 3 times. We got off very lucky. Inland was a mess because of flooding. It took a long time for them to recover. We just had to deal with no power for 3 1/2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
