We survived a direct hit of the outer wall of the Eye. The actually eye was 10 miles north of us, and basically nothing is left up there. There are no business's open, no resteraunts, only the hotels, and they are all running on no power and no water. After the storm, people were going up and down 6 flights of stairs to get the garbage can out of the room and go down to the swimming pool to fill it with water to flush their toliets with. I planned ahead and filled the bathtub with water so we could use that. We ended up having wind gusts over 200 mph hit the hotel. It tore the roof off our banquet room and tore part of the top off the housekeeping building. There is only 3 store signs left intact that I can see and I took a 3 mile drive with a co worker, to help her see if her trailer was still standing.

I'm hoping from work from other Floridian GPG members/supporters. There were a couple... sad Was her trailer still standing?

Hey Floof! I don't see you in GPG much anymore. Good luck with the pics. Did you ever get that PM?
I put Logan in some chinese PJs just like I had as a kid. He just looks like a white kid even more in them!!
EDIT: Needed to add something.

Glitter Girl it was against TOS...only its been like that for a while... The only thing that I can think of that it was breaking TOS for was the size. And several people on here have too big of sigs. Whoever said that to you was just being a jerk. I don't see where it is that big of deal unless you have dial up or your sig stretches the screen. Yours was just too tall, so it didn't stretch the screen. Which if you are going to be over in one dimension, that is the dimension to go over with. Mine is too large (goes over the file size limit). But I'm working on it. But nobody has mentioned anything about it. People who just want to be tattle-tales make life annoying.

sweatdrop Um, I would be one of those tattle-tales and regularly report people for signature violations ETC. Thanks for making me feel good to help make sure the rules are enforced because the Mods can't be everywhere.
Glitter, I see nothing wrong with your current siggie: combined they are under 500 pixels tall.

I seem to be good at that lately. redface blaugh It's ok, it just rubbed me a little the wrong way. I'm usually more on the lookout for obscenely big siggies that stretch the screen (one was over 1500 pixels one dimension once eek ) or pornographic images. It has to be pretty obvious to catch my notice. (It's been said before that you have ~10 pixels of leeway as well and they won't jump on you for it) I know some people find it annoying... but it's the little bit I can do to make Gaia more user friendly.
