bkdelongSince I've become more involved in the Red Cross, I've gotten more into my "Weather Geeking" hobby. Right now I have a live webcam from the Northwest corner of Key West streaming - WITH SOUND. It is awesome - you can hear the wind, see the wind and watch the water and a large boat bobbing up and down. Unfortunately, I also see a handful of people walking around from time to time :( Be safe everyone!
I'm also keeping an eye on the Monroe County, (FL Keys), Emergency Operations Center, (EOC) for alerts. They just posted storm surge/flooding updates.
TLC Art Director John Noe is in Tavernier, FL south of Key Largo. He still has Internet access & power. I can't believe he stayed but luckily there's a "last resort" shelter, (ie you should have evacuated when we made it mandatory but since you didn't...), less than 1/2 a mile down the road from him at the Dept of Health. He's taken 20+ pictures that I've placed on Flickr for him. Be safe John!!

Uh-oh, there's a power (loss) warning now in effect ... I better go "liberate" all my ice cream. It's a hard job, but, you know ... ::G::
