2004-09-05 - 1:57 p.m. more hurricane rambling (and rumbling)... we are told non-stop by the news reporters to stay indoors because it is dangerous out there and so we stay indoors and watch the TV blaring the never ending antics of the news reporters who are out there where it is dangerous... anyway, a brief walk around outside lets us know that there is much roof damage to the buildings (and more trees down) in this apartment development... the good news (for casa de candoor) is that we have no water leaking into our apartment yet even though the apartment right next door has not only lost shingles and the tar paper under the shingles, but actual wood panels off their roof... they already moved out of that apartment... since we share a roof (that apartment slops east while ours slopes west), I am surprised we are not getting any water... maybe that's just a yet, huh?)... by quirk of luck and the love of the universe and whatever power that may be, both Charlie and Frances passed us at an angle so that winds came from the east, so our western facing roof was not hurt badly... hopefully this will continue and the whole roof won't blow off... there are shingles and is tar paper all over the ground again... some on my car, but the trees that fell this time once again left my car alone... so maybe I ought to be coming to the conclusion that the "come around" that we always hear about (as in "what goes around comes around", ya know) might not come around as ideally as I'd like it to (as in the one-to-one nurturing I give others and crave for myself) and it just might be the gift of safety and good fortune like standing (or living) in the midst of a devastating storm and not being devastated by it... so far, at least... we did have no power for 9 days, which was five or six days longer than the average last time... 1.8 million people supposedly do not have power in Florida at the moment... and though the numbers are different on each station (publicity spins by big business, do doubt), one report said 75,000 local power company customers have no power, which is not nearly as bad as last time... so far, at least... if you are wondering how to read those radar maps I've been linking to, the answers are here... the latest radar (1:37pm) shows there is no longer an eye to this Hurricane (they are still calling it a hurricane cuz they say the winds are still up around 95mph where the center used to be) and that's supposed to be a good thing... the area where the eye used to be is about halfway between Orlando and Tampa, which means we in Orlando get the north side of the storm, which is the much worse side... and they (the weather people) say there's still the worst winds and rain yet to come (glancing up at the ceiling)... and now there's Hurricane Ivan supposedly following a similar path as the last few Hurricanes, though the weather people are (perhaps through wishful thinking) suggesting (I doubt they'd call it predicting) that Ivan might turn toward the north and move out toward the Atlantic or hit the US east coast further north... they actually have been pretty accurate in their predictions for twenty four hour periods and they did predict a busy Hurricane season... briefly the TV had Noises Off on for a while, but it's been turned back to the endlessly exciting (hear the sarcasm) news and weather people... cookies, chips, soda, and the TV... my roommies are in heaven... and I am copying library CDs and rambling on here (and ok, I indulged in the cookie and soda party too (I just don't have constant cup or bottle of soda in my hand 24/7)... my preference being chocolate chip (the double chunk kind) and Code Red Mountain Dew (when I indulge in sugar and caffeine and chocolate, I don't cut corners)... so anyway, it would be more fun if you were here to join our little Hurricane Frances party, but at least I still have power and can keep you up to date since I know you care and might be worried... thanks again for the calls and emails and notes of well wishes and good luck and all that sweet love you send... love that love (coming around, yeah, it's a good thing)...
