Since your weather station seems to have stayed up and shows no high
winds I assume you were far enough west to get little severe weather there. Though you can keep those 90 degree temperatures. Barometer shows an interesting graph as Ike went by. Is the zero rain reading right? Rick John N. Gretchen III wrote: my wx station http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapi...tion=KTXPORTO3 John N.

It beats putting them back together after they have been spread over 5
counties or drown under an inland sea. Up here I've had two tornados come closer to me this year than any did when I lived for 60 years in tornado alley. Though forest fire is our biggest threat as our only way out is through the forest. Seems no place is safe from nature. Even ducking hurricanes you are getting in more imaging time than the weather here allows. Good luck getting it all back together again. Rick John N.

Hi John;
My parents just called from Dayton Ohio - trees down, power out. Yep - you were on the backside, I took the right front quad ... glad to hear your good fortune. I've had 4 eyes cross our Key West radar so far this year. I finally took down the scope for Ike and moved everything to my office which is cat 5 rated (second floor - cat 3 first floor). I've got a lot of field work backed up in the Dry Tortugas so I'm keeping everything down till late October. I did not believe it at the time but you were correct - Ike got to both of us!! -Rod John N. Gretchen III wrote: no power loss and no rain.....
