[Megan]

[Gabe's Babe]

 <(' ')> <(' ')> I just got finished around here. Jeff is mowing. He wants to get it done before the rain cause it is deep in the pasture. Not sure if we will stay in our house or go over to a neighbors house. I am starting to want to stay here just so we can save things. Makes me nervous though. They are forecasting up to 90mph wind gusts for us.  :nahnah: :nahnah: You guys down on the coast....please let us know what is going on and keep safe.....

[Megan]

[Megan]

[Gabe's Babe]

Yeah, the rivers all flow to the ocean. Now the ocean is flowing into the rivers... :blah: Not a good thing...

[Downthealley]

I wanted to go take more pictures of the river but i would have to take the trail threw the marsh and i didnt feel like doing it. i will however take the trail after to take pictures

[Gabe's Babe]

Thanks for the pics. I took a bunch of "before pics" but nothing has happened yet. So, you will just have to wait for the after....

[Megan]

i took about 50 before pics but im sure there will be over 100 after pics

[Gabe's Babe]

Yeah, i bet. I think I took about the same here.
