[EDIT HERE: I just checked- and that whole street was 10 truckloads, not just those 2 houses.]
Wish us luck today!

It was cool to see a woman climb down out of one of those trucks because the neighbors I was standing with had a 2 and a half year old daughter who LOVES TRUCKS.
Then the lady turned out to be smoking a cigarette and ruined the role model! (For a 2 and a half year old- personally I don't really care).
I heard on the news tonight that in Orange County they had so far removed 250,000 cubic yards of debris and expected it to total 800,000 cubic yards.
I didn't know how much that was but it sounds awful close to a million!
They put it in perspective by saying that amount would fill a football field and be stacked 1/4 mile high.

Yikes, thats alot of debris!!! 
What will they do with all of it? Landfill? Made into mulch? Hopefully they can do something useful with all that stuff. Thats so cool, I love that that the little girl is into trucks. I used to play Tonka trucks with my brothers when I was a girl, I thought they were pretty neat myself. But, I don't think I'd want to really drive one of those things.

New Threat?
I just heard on the news tonight that 2 million cubic yards of debris will finally be collected in Orange County. 
Anyway, We are gun-shy here now and have been told of another storm brewing with the characterists of Hurricane Andrew. By Sunday night we may have a better idea of it's path- Frances. It depends on The Burmuda High, to steer it away.
People are buying more batteries again, even before this new *threat*.
Every year I spend about $200 on supplies, to be prepared! Yikes!
