Video shows nearly 100 raccoons swarm woman's yard, prompting 911 call in Washington
The raccoons often approach the home and scratch on windows and walls, but last week she called 911 when she said they trapped her on the property.www.usatoday.com
Power back on. Time for a little cat nap.
Hope power is soon restored Ray, and I'm hoping the worst is over for you soon. I think it must be almost 8 am in Florida now, and I've been watching the news - hope you're high enough not to be flooded.
Yes it is horrible. I am trying to get ahold of some friends in Cape Coral. I imagine they are flooded.
Thanks Lyn, power came on about 10:30am. This area is maybe 20yrs old. When they started to develop in this area. The drainage system is real good. We haven't had a problem with flooding yet.
That's good news Ray, so pleased you're ok. I hope Ed (zeropilot) hasn't been too badly affected as well, I don't know which side of Florida he is on, hopefully nowhere near the worst hit areas. I bet Opo and Sully are wondering what's happening!
Good! I've been watching constantly on this hurricane for some reason. Florida must be getting better and better at dealing with these types of events. I was thinking a prayer got answered at least a little when I heard instead of a 15 foot wall of water Tampa got a lower low tide then usual. I had heard they were the most vulnerable place to take a direct hit. And another prayer was answered too. You and yours are safe and have your electric.
Exactly Jeff, if I watch the news about the hurricane. It gets redundant after awhile. Then they start to embellish on the situation. I watch the updates and change the channel. To sit and watch the 4 hrs in between updates is useless.
All working fine on this side of the pond M.
Not lately
No problems here. Enjoy the concert.
TTFN
The Northern lights have been visible here for a couple of nights too. I would have to go out to the country to see them though. There's two many lights in the city. Hopefully you won't have to be put on drops for the high pressure eye. But it's better than losing sight. Joe's on 4 different drops that are administered in a crazy way. Three of them in the morning. Two in the afternoon and 4 in the evening. That's even after lazor surgery. They poked a hole in each eye. High pressure is nothing to mess with. He did lose some sight before he got stabalized. I hope they can get the pressure down quickly for you and keep it downGood afternoon /evening all.
Temps have really dropped the last couple of days, mid 40f at best and down to mid 30f tonight. It has been mostly dry though.
Lola hasn't left his hide for 2 days. I think he noticed the change in spite of his heating. He didn't eat at all yesterday and stayed tucked in his corner. Today he positioned himself so that he could look out of his door and he did eat when given room service, but he had no intention of coming out to eat his food -stubborn tortoise!!
The hedgehogs are still coming
to eat and fatten up for the winter, but they'll be wanting to stay in their warm nests soon.
I had an opticians appt yesterday, and there is a 'freckle' on my left eye and high pressure in my right so I've been referred to an eye hospital. I haven't noticed any drastic changes with my sight but more tests are needed. The freckle could become cancerous and the other could lead to glaucoma, so the sooner they are checked the better.
I'm popping out in a while to see if I can see the northern lights, which have been visible over the UK for a few nights - nothing wrong with my eyes!
I wonder if it's something to do with the skin graft I had under the eye. It has always been a bit puffy since I had that done so maybe the usual drainage of the eye has been affected. I have to go back to the opticians on Friday to double check, the pressure it so I'll ask then.The Northern lights have been visible here for a couple of nights too.
