Default Come on Frances!!

Got the Vette and the Harley tucked away in the garage. Went to the store and bought soda, donuts, ice cream, milk, bread and cat food. Gas up my 10,000 watt welder /genorator. Let her blow!! Oh, if you can't tell I'm single. Wish us the best. Because, were going to need it. Good luck to all in her path!

Good thinking ... fatten up the kitty, in case you need to hunker down for several days.

That kitty might start looking tasty after a few days....

Seriously, don't you think it might be best to evacuate?

Good luck. Frances might be a very nasty lady when she arrives. My fiancee works in Boca Raton and lives in Jacksonville. She left Boca at 3:00 a.m. this morning headed north. Called me from Jax at 9:00. All flights out of Jax booked through Friday and filling up fast for Saturday.

Good luck. I just spent all day putting up the hurricane shutters. I have a 2 story and the climbing up and down was a killer. Worst part the vette has to ride it outside, no room in the garage.
