Thought I would let you all know what was going on here this week. Tropical Storm Fay has been pounding us here. I just got my power back on today after 3 days of being out, thank gods, it has been so hot!! We have gotten close to 30 inches of rain since Monday and it is still raining!! This is a shot of the rain when it was real heavy, the shot is not blurry, that distortion is the rain coming down.

We had a record 22 inches of rainfall in a 24 hour period! Needless to say everywhere is flooded. I have been through dozens of hurricanes and I have never seen anything like this before. Usually they are traveling at 25 MPH or more, this one was going 2 MPH. It just sat on top of us and pounded. The winds were not to bad at around 60 MPH

Of course the first thing to go was the screened-in porch, and I had to fish the lawn chairs out of the pool.

I tried to get more pictures, but my camera kept fogging up. The rain is suppose to keep up until Saturday, but at lease it is alot lighter now. Just wanted everyone to know I am not MIA, I am going to be moving this next week. I can't get to the new house right now because the road is flooded and is closed. Saturday was the move date, but we will have to wait a little longer. My collection is ALOT thinner now, but I still have some cool figs to take shots of. I still have alot for sale, if you need something let me know. Dave
