Okay, I HAVE to put my foot down now...I just love you guys to our south to death, but PLEASE quit sending us gifts!! :D

As if Frances wasn't enough, Terrible Ivan has now descended on us with a deluge of water the likes of which I have never seen before!!

Large areas are under mandatory evacuation, there are people standing on the roofs of ther cars, and in some cases houses, to get rescued, there has been declared a state of emergency, kids are stranded in their schools, major highways are completely flooded and closed. :eek:

...and this is all since about 1 or 2 this afternoon!!!!

It makes all the news stories of what Florida has gone through over the past month so much more real to us.

Karen, have you floated away yet????
