Fay finally is going away..

It's been a wet weekend in these parts!

Tropical Storm Fay, having covered most of the state of Florida with her wet self during the past week, began to affect our weather late last week.

Schools were closed on Friday. Reports of downed limbs, trees and power outages were reported
almost minute-by-minute on the online version of our local newspaper.

And it rained. And rained.

Our roof tarp blew off, leaving us with our ever-present leaking bathroom ceiling. The wall in the boys' room is beginning to disintegrate and separate from the floor. The floor is slowly sinking in at the front door.

But we are safe.

This storm did leave a fatality in our area, as Talquin County lineman Curtis King lost his life while working to restore power. Today, there was a report that a 12 year old boy drowned in a drainage ditch up in Cairo, Georgia.

Tallahassee has some cleaning up to do. As do we, as we discovered that a neighbor's oak tree had crashed into what used to be Gramma's garden area. Perhaps I can post some pics here at a later time.

We needed rain..but we're not sad to see Fay get out of Dodge!
