FL please check in

[Kathyp]

are all of our FL folks ok?  looks bad, but you never can tell from TV.

I'm not a Florida person,  but my folks are down in Deland.   Just spoke with them a few minutes ago and they are fine.   A few people lost their awnings near them but for the most part it seemed to miss them.

I posted an article in the coffee house section. I don't live near where the tornados hit. the only member who does is Apis629 and he was still pretty far from those tornados. He probably had to deal with the thunderstorm.

All is well here. I am putting frames together, and then heading to my beekeeper meeting.

pddmattox and likes2grill are in N Florida and probably are fine if not a little wet.

See we don't need snow storms we have hurricanes and tornados, people who live in the midwest are jealous all they have are tornadoes and maybe earthquakes.

Still no snow either. I need a frozen pina colalda.

Sincerely,
Brendhan


PS. I check the membership map we one or two other members who were close by but I don't think they have been active on the boards for a while. Maybe they can check in and give us a report.

I, and the hives, are fine here.  It's been raining since 6am but, other than that, not much.  I actually hadn't even heard of the tornados untill about 20 minutes ago in Yahoo IM.

All is fine in north florida just lots of rain.  I must Admit I was too busy to check on the girls this morn before i left but every thing should be fine with them as well.  Thanks Kathyp

i wasn't paying much attention this am.  when i came in after feeding and the morning chores i found a note from red cross wanting me to update my availability status for a new disaster.  that always shoots up the old adrenaline!  glad to hear that you guys are ok.  Florida has an impressive disaster response plan.  it's always bad when this stuff happens, but it's worse in a state that isn't prepared.

[Cindi]

Kathy, it sounds like you are involved in some form of emergency response.  Not to be nosey, but I bet there would be alot of us members that would love to hear what you do.  Tell or not.  It is OK either way.

I think that all people that respond to any kind of disaster are very special to our world.  We should always be grateful for those that come to the need of the human race when so desperately needed.  It would be wonderful to be able to thank every single one involved, but that would never come to pass. 

I was grateful to hear the members of our forum that live in the Florida area are all well, with no disaster struck on them.  This is a good day.

Great day.  Cindi

wow I just saw what happened on the news tonight.  I can't even fathom that kind of disaster, having never witnessed something like that personally.  Glad to hear no one on here was hurt. 

[beekeeperookie]

Sounds like Kathy volunteers with the red cross as a disaster relief person, I have taken the course but have never volunteer for it, I stuck to the first aid/cpr instructor side of the Red Cross.  But Kathy keep up the good work, not alot of volunteers anymore. 

[Kathyp]

that's what i do.  i gave cindi a little overview in the coffee house.  it's fun and it does good. i meet great people from all over the place. it makes me keep my laundry caught up!
