Have I missed any stories of disaster from our Group?

Not from me. We got a light rain and some wind but nothing more. I'm not fooling myself though, I was lucky.

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

Perhaps those that might have an interesting story are still without power.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

I'm in NC & just got a robocall from my electric utility which all but said "expect power outages."

Expecting 3-6" of rain and wind gusts of 60mph tomorrow, yuck.

WHOA! I suspected there might be sea life swept inland, but did not think about gators.

The gators aren't the only uninvited guests:

The gator in the house is photoshop
The shark along I-4? I-4 doesn't go near the gulf or Tampa Bay
That isn't a Manatee, it is a walrus (or elephant seal, can't tell for sure).

Still fun to look at them.

I-4 goes right up to Tampa Bay.

We’re still without power. Lots of small branches down and a little standing water. We drove around the neighborhood last night and saw some large trees blocking roads. Lots of flooded areas in the region.

It’s a seal and it was in Chile.

The closest I-4 gets to Tampa Bay is a single dockside channel that is 1/2 mile away. I-4 is also higher in elevation than Ybor City in most places. It runs into I-275 which is north of downtown. I-275 crosses Tampa Bay, but that is about five miles away.

Regardless, there was no flooding on I-4 in Tampa.

Orlando got it much worse than the bay area.

Regardless of the source/veracity (or lack thereof!) of such photos, these things are of real concern: [www.cbsnews.com]

Shark is a fake photo also. It’s a Photoshop of two different images.
