Man, oh man...this tropical storm is really doing a number on Florida. First it comes through south Florida, then heads up diagonally across the state and then SITS over Brevard and Volusia for a day- which means all of central Florida got DRENCHED. Our neighbors in Brevard county (our old stomping ground) have had historic flooding. I saw a statistic on the news (b/c during storms in Florida all you get is news, every major network channel, all day long)where Charley, Jeanne, and Francis (the three hurricanes that hit central Florida in 04) didn't dump as much rain combined as this TS has. Crazy stuff.
So, we had our first day of school Monday, off Tuesday and Wednesday b/c of the unpredictability of the storm (which, of course- Murphey's law- didn't affect us all that much during those two days, especially Tues)> Back to school yesterday, which was by far the worst day of the week for Seminole county as far as wind and rain. And then no school today, because of flooding issues. Many roads around the county are impassable. So that's been our first week back to school! LOL! I guess we'll just call a "do over" here in central Florida for going back to school.
Today there are patches here and there of rain relief as the storm finally decided to move and is making it's way across the state. But we are all looking forward to a day of no rain. Even just a couple hours of no rain would be nice.
So what have we been doing to pass the time? Sigh! Cabin Fever is no fun. But thankfully we haven't lost power, like many of our neighbors, so we have been able to play the Wii, play legos, play on the computer (I created a Facebook account-LOL...peer pressure!), bake brownies, and we even had some fun building a fort this morning. And we walked through some ankle deep water in spots on our street to get to the mailboxes...it's just nuts.
And so it goes...and so we wish Fay would go. :-)
