I know! I'm so obsessed with getting information...and every time I look, it's still not anything concrete! SO frustrating!

They're saying the hurricane watch is up as far as Tarpon Springs which is not too far south of me...we drive further than than to go to Sweet Tomatoes!

Thanks for that link Sue. I still can't get into the NOAA site ("site unavailable") probably too many Orchid Boarders parking on the site

I'm in Orlando, and they told us here to lock everything down tight, So that's what I've been doing!!

Yesterday, I spent ALL day making room every where indoors, garage, sheds, etc. For the 100+ Chids I have hanging outside on my Chid Hotel on the Fence!!!

I pray the hundreds I have in my GH will be ok!! She's built stong, I just hope strong enough!!

My prayers are with everyone in Faye's Path
May God bless Us All!!!

Default START THE LOCKDOWN!!

Hey, I'm in Orlando, and our weather dude said to start THE LOCKDOWN!! As she's gonna get rough around here!!

So I spent hrs making room everywhere I could indoors for more that 300 Chids that I have. And over 100 of them are hanging on my fence in my Chid Hotel!! So their really in danger!!

I have about 200 in my GH, and I think she should be safe, but I'm not sure, so I'm not taking any chances!! Their all coming out tonight!

I guess I'll be sleeping with my babies to keep them safe until Faye passes

May God Bless all of Us in Faye's path...


And for not worry, unless she's Andrew... I've been here 20 yrs, and Charlie destroyed sooooo much, everywhere!! My home, your homes, everyone's lives...

And not just the Hurricane is scarey, but all the tornados she spins outside of her eye!!

Then you should know that Stroms can be very unpredictable. Not many took Andrew seriously. I didn't board up, just secured things. I'm just worried about my orchids being outside with possible high winds. Mostly feel bad that my avocado trees is loaded with avocados and will drop a lot of them
