COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'll guess VEGETABLE.

Nope. Animal or mineral ?

 

[Lyn W]

Golly, I'm so predicatable!

I think you can buy those predicatables at Ikea.

 

[Lyn W]

The first of the "feeder bands" have arrived here.
I went out and parked my car up on the parking curb to raise it up.
This is a flood zone.
At least I won't be doing any interstate driving tomorrow.
Just a short drive about 30 miles each way to visit mom.
I'm staying in Tifton, Georgia.
ALL the motels in Albany are frighteningly filthy.
Good night.
I'll try to sleep now because I'm anticipating a power outage.

Night Night Ed, hope you manage to get some sleep.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Good to hear you're Ok Ed and that your Mum is able to get out and about with you.
Hope the weather isn't too bad for you tomorrow. Is this still Hurricane Gaston that's supposed to be heading to UK eventually?
Stay safe!

Sorry about your neighbors.
I'm sure I'll weather the storm with ease. The only question is how much will I be inconvenienced?
The folks along the coast will have the REAL event.

I don't know how people cope with those horrific storms - they can do so much damage.
Makes me feel guilty for complaining about UK weather, our heavy rains are mere showers in comparison to these hurricanes.

Yes, made from MDF.

The last one that hit near my house was 11 years ago and took my rear patio, my wooden privacy fence, two palm trees and most of my roof with it.
It was only a category 2.
I'm only 8 miles inland.

It must be quite scary, hope people affected stay safe.

Though we had a couple of bad ones in 1986 and 1987, i remember trees through houses and sunken boats on the Thames.
And Seven Oaks became One Oak, overnight.

Yes we did, it seems that, that was about the time the bad storms started in the UK, at least I don't remember the high winds being such a worry before then.

 

[Moozillion]

I'll guess ANIMAL.

 

[Lyn W]

Right I'd better get to bed and sleep - it was a shock to the system having to get up, be organised and be somewhere so early this morning. I'm always up early for Lola but its different when you can take your time and don't have to rush around.
So nos da all have a good evening/night.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I feel for the folks along the coast.
It's pretty rough riding out a hurricane.
Even a cat 1.
Hopefully, no one will be seriously injured.

Hotter sea temperatures started around then leading to increased frequency and strength of hurricanes and tropical storms, the dregs of which often end up in the UK.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Good night folks.
I'll be sleeping in my swimming trunks.

Correct.

Nos da, Lyn.
Sleep well and see you tomorrow, I hope.

Hope not.
Wishing everyone remains safe over there.

Wise precaution.
Water wings ?
