This storm I am in the middle of sucks. Not only was I wrong about the projected paths, but I was also wrong about the fact that it formed an eye over land instead of water. In addition, yesterday it hovered over Brevard County for over 24 hours, gaining strength to flood many parts of the community I live in. My backyard was flooded by nightfall yesterday, but the waters receded this morning, thankfully. The sewers on my street are flooded as well, and water continue to pour out of the lids.

Many of my friends & co-workers are trapped and cannot get out. One is actually stuck in his apartment building because the water rose up into the complex. My boss's car is underwater, my neighbor's pool flooded into their kitchen, and my fence is about to fall over.

ALSO...

Yesterday morning, at 5:15AM, I was driving to work (yes, WORK CALLED AND TOLD ME TO COME IN) and my car skidded into the other lane as I fought against winds. When I got to the parking lot, an alligator was sitting in front of the store, ready to eat me. The animal control came to move it back into the river. On the way back home, a palm frond hit my car and I had to go under 2 lights that were hanging on for dear life. In addition, we have a hole in our roof, and the rain is leaking into the wall and out of the wall base and the carpet is soaking it up. Great. Another year of getting rid of mold.

How horrid. I hate this storm.
