...but it looks like Ivan may be coming to Tallahassee. I've seen one eye this year, that's enough.

Derek, I've never hoped for someone to be as wrong as I hope that you are. C'mon, miss one for the Gipper.

JMG,

How was the weather up in Tally from Frances? We left our area of Florida for a river house in Panacea, and then left on Sunday morning for Jacksonville.

JMG: Derek's track would be horrible for the Big Bend area. I've read that the Appalachee Bay is shallow and would result in a catastrophic storm surge down there. As for Tally, it would be real bad. I was in Tally for Kate in 1985, but that would be pale in comparison. Prayer machine firing up!

Weather for us, out in the Chaires area, wasn't bad.

We lost power for about 8 hours, from midnight to am, which relatively was no big deal. The eye came right over the house, and we still got a little less than 2 inches of rain. Small limbs down, my cable line about neck level. That's about the extent of it.

I'd be very happy for that to be the whole of my hurricane experience for 2004. Ivan, bugger off.

We're high enough up on a hill that I'm not too worried about flooding, but I am worried about the wind and keeping power.

We've never actually weathered a hurricane and moved to Tally in 99. At what point should we board windows, or should we not worry about this? I live up in the Killearn Lakes area and am also somewhat concerned about trees in my yard coming onto my house.

Would/should we evacuate? How do we know?
