Eta can't make up her d*mn mind who she wants to annoy. Now there's 2 more storms. How many days left in 2020? Mercy.

Lost power about 10 minutes ago. We are under a tornado watch/warning. Foster pup is snoozing in my lap completely unperturbed. Thankfully.
My youngest works for a vet and they closed early. Glad my girl is not driving in this. She is 3-4 miles south and still has power.
My oldest is an hour south and she’s getting hammered too. She said the wind was so strong it sounded like someone was pounding on her door. Fortunately she is off today. Her field work for tomorrow has been cancelled.
Stay safe! Where are you located?ANOTHER tornado alert and I hear sirens outside too.....
Hopefully you and pup can get some sleep!Still no power and FPL has no timeframe for restoration. There’s about 5,000 of us affected. Foster pup and I are headed to bed. I have a metal hurricane shutter on my bedroom window.
Lots of sustained winds and continuous downpours with sideways rain. This seems normal for a Cat 1 storm. Radar doesn’t look much different from earlier. Band after band of heavy rain. I haven’t noticed any lightening or thunder.
The swell in my backyard is moving water. Some small dead branches fell from my oak trees out back. I’m very thankful I had 2 dead trees in my front yard removed a few weeks ago. They would have hit my house, fence and the neighbors.
Stay safe! Where are you located?

Seriously - what alphabet do they use when they run out of the Greek letters? Use Persian letters?
Almost has a far worse experience than a hurricane happen to me today - drove down to Bonita Springs and on my way back home on the highway, an adult male deer complete with antlers starts prancing towards my car (I was in the right lane) from my right POV and suddenly stops about 15 feet from the asphalt. Happened near North Port where the Myakka State Park extends into the city. To make matters worse I glanced in my rearview mirror and there's a ton of cars behind me. Can you imaging what would have happened if I got hit and cause a chain reaction?!
I suspect Bambi's father leaped back over the fence and into the park where he was safer.
