Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Purrs for East Coast
Purrs for all the cats and their slaves that live on the east coast. Looks like there is going to be some heavy rain and wind from the storms coming through.

Looks >like there is going to be some heavy rain and wind from the storms coming >through. I saw that at work today [temp assignment]. I was talking to someone in PA and we lost our connection, then I couldn't call him back for several hours because I couldn't get through. When I did get in touch, he very apologetically explained that there were major storms in his area. Could have been worse. I still remember the time last December I was on the phone with a tech support caller and suddenly said something like "Oh my God", while scrambling under my desk. Said caller did sympathize when I explained that we had an earthquake in progress.

Ann Purrs and Prayers. Judith SignatureJudith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. Thank you all very much for the purrs and the thoughts, they mean and have meant more than you will ever know. My very dear DH, David, is an over the road, 48 state truck driver. He was not here during Charley. We were very lucky and suffer no damage, just annoying things. David is now home to finish up the little Charley stuff and to meet Frances head on. Before getting our stuff together we committed to helping three neighbors who were not able to do for themselves. Oh, my the first one didn't work out well as we found Frank on the side of his house trying to put up the hurricane shutters, which we told him we would do, he was unable to walk, had difficulty breathing and was giving us inappropriate answers to our questions. I called 911. Frank was taken to the hopital David finished putting up the shutters, I put away the tools and called his daughter. Off we went to do our second good deed which was to help and adult daughter and her 80 year old dad nail down tarps over the existing plastic and tarps which covered the $50K worth of damage done by Charley. Marva and David did the work on the roof, Dad is the gathering of the supplies, I toted the items up the ladder and climbed back down except for the last climb down when the ladder slid out from under me. Hit my forehead, chin, glasses hit the bridge of my nose, a few bruises under my upper arms, nothing on my torso, hips, pelvic bones or thighs. But the knees, shins, ankles, feet, toes! Right knee cap is broken, left knee cap is swollen and black and red. Shins are a collection of cuts, concrete rashes, contussions. And one, only one of my toes is black and blue. I am suppose to be lying down resting this leg, which of course I am not doing, which is driving my DH mad as he has so much to do. I'm wrting this at about 10 of one Florida time so I can get it out before it gets to rough here. We are getting some wind and rain now but not expected to get the "big stuff" until later. Thank you all for your thoughts and mine go out to the other central Floridians.

And I was just listening to them talking on TV about so many of the hurricane related injuries being people getting ready for and cleaning up after. Sounds like you have had quite your share and a few neighbors worth already. Hope you don't feel too horrible after the adrenaline wears off, and that the storm passes you by.

That's always one of my biggest fears. I only run the west coast, but I'm still concerned about being out on the road when I'm needed at home. > Off we went to do our second good deed which was to help and adult daughter > and her 80 year old dad nail down tarps over the existing plastic and tarps [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Shins are a collection of cuts, concrete rashes, contussions.

What a time to get injuries like those... > Thank you all for your thoughts and mine go out to the other central > Floridians. Major purrs and meditations coming for you and everyone else facing danger from the hurricanes. Dan I'm so sorry you got hurt, Charleen! Purrs for your poor knee and leg and for your and your neighbors' safety during Frances.

Right knee cap is broken, left knee cap is swollen and black and red. OUCH!!!!! That must have *really* *hurt* - I hear knee cap injuries are notoriously painful. I'm really sorry to hear it! > I am suppose to be lying down resting this leg, which of course I am not > doing It's probably OK to be sitting with your leg up and straight out in front of you.

One of my sisters lives about 60 miles north of Palm Beach, and the storm was raging around her while I talked to her this afternoon. She had no electricity, but at least had a phone. They were holed up in the house and had put all 5 cats together in one room. Their biggest worry is flooding. My father left me a message saying that he and my mom (who live a couple hundred miles north of my sister), are waiting in a shelter for the storm to hit their area. I called back, but got his voice mail, so I didn't get to talk to him. But I'm wondering about their pets. My mother has 2 cats and dad has 1. I know that some disaster-area shelters allow pets, and others don't. I didn't even realize how bad a storm it was until my dad called me this afternoon. Apparently this is the worst hurricane Florida has seen in 100 years. Purrs for you, your neighbors, and your poor knee!

Charleen, You and all in the path of Frances are in our thoughts and prayers. We are asking Rosie and Cinder to provide haling purrs for you injuries. Annie > Charleen, > You and all in the path of Frances are in our thoughts and prayers. We are > asking Rosie and Cinder to provide haling purrs for you injuries. > Annie I second that. We have elderly American relatives who are permanent residents in central Florida. One of them has emphysema, so their adult children have taken them to a shelter in a nearby city. All the northern relations have kept the phones hot seeking news of their welfare, and there are thousands of others in the same position. Our hugs and purrs to everyone and their pets involved in this latest disaster. > Hit my forehead, chin, glasses hit > the bridge of my nose, a few bruises under my upper arms, nothing on my > torso, hips, pelvic bones or thighs.

I hope you weathered out the storm ok, and purrs for your injuries to heal quickly. That was very nice of you to think of others during a difficult time for all.

You remember the saying: No good deed goes unpunished? Guess this proves it. Purrs also that the storm will not do much damage . MLB |
