Now she is moving north, apparently about to merge with Alpha (and another storm??) to create the first Nor'Easter of the season in New England.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl#Hopefully Eileen is ok and doing well...#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl#My area, about 20 miles south of Tampa was not hit too badly. We had tropical storm conditions, lots of wind and rain. No damage at all to my house or anywhere that I went yesterday. It was very windy all day yesterday, but Wilma had cleared our area by noon...so most of the wind I guess was due to the cold front that pushed Wilma south. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#8000ff#ed_cl#Mom and I went to the beach last night and nearly got blown away, lol. We found some interesting shells, and I had my Nikon loaded with B&W film, I haven't gotten it developed yet, but hopefully I got some good stuff. Interesting markings in the sand - and tons of lobster traps and buoys had been washed ashore.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
