Something I have been considering for a while has now been forced to the top of my schedule by hurricane Frances. This is the first rushed attempt to keep us abreast of our Pixie members during natural disasters and the like. The thought was to have a standing library of maps with members locations when something like this occurred. It would then be posted in a thread to keep us informed of happenings around the people we have come to know and care about. The thought has been in the back of my mind since the flooding last spring in the USA.

I decided I wanted to do this after hurricane Charley and would post a thread to see if there was interest among our members and begin a LONG, SLOW process for the members requesting to be included. Frances has provided the kick in the ass to get this going.

I PMed 19 members that we know are located in Florida during the night, requesting permission and locations, to include them in this first strained attempt. I have only a couple early replies at this hour and will update the map at least twice, if and when the responses come in, today. It is possible some are among the people being evacuated. I am sure these members have other things on their mind at the moment and this is why I felt we had the need to have the prepared library.

Here is where our people are at. Watch the reports and pray for the next 48 hours and hope to see posts from them after the danger has passed.


PS
I'm working on optimum size.

Wow, impressive!

Why do I think some are going to complain these locations aren't more specific so the masses can find their houses?

In this situation, the location of the houses may not be known until Monday.


We hope not.

This is a great idea PF! Thanks so much for doing it. Many places in the country suffer natural disasters and I think it would be great to know where our Pixie family is in the midst of one of them.

We definitely need your prayers here in Floirda. I am looking at being on the side with the worst winds. Just pray hard that we don't lose power. We were so lucky with Chalie.



Oh, and for those wanting to come over. Just PM me for the address.

Thanks for your concern PF.... this is really cool. We'll see if we're located on the map still soon.

:hug:

I have decided that the reason Floida gets hurricanes is cause only us crazy parrotheads who choose to live here knowing the risks, have the attitude it takes. We don't buy provisions we get supplies for our hurricane parties. Nothing better than weathering out a storm listening to Jimmy Buffet and drinking margaritas til the power goes out and the blender stops so you have to switch to beer

Little bit of good news - still not great but downgrading is good:

"The hurricane's maximum sustained winds dropped from 145 mph to 120 mph during the night, prompting forecasters to downgrade it to a Category 3. But Frances still brought tropical storm-force winds to Nassau that knocked out power and pounded the island with rough surf."

Not trusting it yet...often these slow ones lose then pick back up worse than before...like they recharge their batteries. Hope I am wrong
