It is windy and rainy here in Gainesville...but I have not had any real problems. kaioshin00, have you lost power? Mine flickered a bit...but it has not gone out.

My parents also live in central FL...their screened in porch got messed up when parts of their neighbor's roof went through the screen. Fixing it will be an annoying expence...but it is much better than their neighbors' who lost part of their roof.

Here in south Florida, we have had a lot of wind and rain as the hurricane's bands move through - we were stuck in synagogue all day Yom Kippur, as a result, instead of going home for the break in prayers, as we usually do. Last night, when the holiday ended, we drove home.

The lights kept flickering on and off all day and evening, and finally went out for a couple hours in the middle of the night.

This morning when we looked out our window, we saw that a tree went down in the yard, its roots tired, apparently, of holding onto the soggy soil. Fortunately, it damaged nothing except an old disused basketball net.

Hope everyone else is ok!!!

Keep safe, you guys.

Lots of rain, lots of flooding, lots of wind, no immediate damage. Been at work since last night, updating our site, but word from my neighborhood says we still have power. Here's hoping...

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Seems just like Charley so far. Seems to have hit the county pretty hard (I'll know better later) but us not at all. Again, we never lost power. We didn't even permanently lose satellite. I was on AIM through the whole thing.

(Of course, we're still getting some tropical storm force gusts, but the worst definitely seems to be over.)

Yes Lupus we lost power most of yesterday ... What part of town did you say you lived in again?

Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :

I live near SW rec center

I did end up loosing power for around 12 hours or so...but no real damage was done

Bad Gators! Campus police caught some of you trying to urinate on Doak Campbell Stadium's field. [No No]

And what were they doing in Tallahassee, those vandals.

NFL- You go to FSU?

heh, j/k. It's a good school.

Seriously.

Friends don't let friends go to Florida State.

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Watch out, you guys. [No No]

I went to FSU. [Taunt]

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

Storm, you do realize we have the same shirts making fun of UF right?

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

Watch out, you guys. [No No]

Don't go to FSU. [Taunt]

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Pfffttt. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

Better than urinating on football fields. [Razz]

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

Toilet...FSU football field...whats the difference?

j/k
[Smile]

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

Its a football field, not our trademark Wescott Fountain. Peeing on its just stupid. Gator-like.

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

Better yet, the fact that you can't tell the difference proves my point. [Taunt]

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

Actually, I think the fact that you can't tell the difference proves something else [Wink]

Ok, can we stop the hating?

Hi Newfoundlogic, I'm kaioshin00. What are you majoring in? [Wave]

Stop hating UF, never! [Wink]

Doubling in history and poli sci.

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

Haha, you guys at FSU are more bitter cause everyone here got in at FSU but chose to come to UF [Smile]

.

Political science and history eh? I see they don't teach politeness in politics =P

Oh wait, it was me who started this......

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

But do you have an Antartic marine geology research facility? Besides FSU has better poli sci than UF.

No, and we don't have a clown school either [Taunt]

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

You're just jealous because we have the only college traveling circus. And we have Burt Reynolds.

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

mmmhmm.. That's it...

And I've had enough of this bickering!

So I will hail NFL, a student from FSU, for his wit, humor, and knowledge in the fields of political science and history.

[Hail]

Seriously.
