Jenn...I completely forgot about your family in Naples...I've gotten to know that area better as my hubby has worked a lot lately in Naples...As KC said most of the evacuations were for near the beaches and mobile homes, but there's something like 400 sq miles of Florida under either a Hurricane Watch or Warning...So a lot of us will get something...I'll let you know if I see anything specific for Naples, but I can tell you that all the major news networks (CNN, MSNBC and Fox News) have a correspondent in Naples so you may be able to catch some of the news footage...
We were on the Miami news? Wow...I'm waiting for the 11pm news to see if Tampa says anything about us down here...I've only seen that we're still under a watch...I'm going back and forth from my Tivo to the news and over to the computer for updates...although I think I'll be turning the computer off soon...Those tornadoes just freak me out...I have vivid memories of them when I lived outside of New Orleans as a kid...seeing one upclose while playing in the school yard during recess really leaves a lasting image
Looks like we're in for rain the rest of the night and who knows what else I keep seeing Miami Beach and y'all look just fine over there...I hear there may be some sun tomorrow after the storm passes...I'm thinking it might be a good day to go to the beach
Oh I almost forgot...yes we found batteries, but not at Wal-Mart they were wiped of C and D batteries...We then headed to Winn-Dixie (because you know they will stay open for as long as they can to get some sales ) WD only had C batteries, but then I realized that there was a Dollar General next door and well they had bunches of every battery imaginable...I will remember that incase there is a next time I personally never would have thought of going to Dollar General first...
