    How's all our Florida residents doing during this storm?  :dunno:  I'm in Orlando and we're alright....not much more than 30+ mph winds and lots o' rain.  It's funny b/c they canceled school on Tuesday and it was normal here.....today school is open and the winds and rain are 100x worse than yesterday....go figure.... :screwy:  but my kids enjoyed a day @ home with papi.... :jumping:

    If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

    We got soaked down here in Ft Lauderdale.  2 days solid rain and some pretty good wind gusts but no damage that I've seen.

    Had to drain 10" from my pool.  And nothing drains toward it, so that was actual rain!

    We had 4+ inches in the Miami area.  It was a bit breezy, a few downed trees here and there, but nothing to complain about.

    He was strapped into the rig, and was unable to hit the quick releases in time to avoid injuring himself (TV interview of victim's friend).
