Of more than 700 people arrested in the course of the last six months in Saudi Arabia, dozens had been part of cells charged with preparing attacks against oil sites, according to authorities in Riyadh.

Paul I am glad to see you made it out safely. And I did not know you were a Mac fan, you just went up big time in my estimation!
God bless and protect you and yours!

Great you got away. If you are at some spiffy "inn" like drury or whatnot you are there during the week and they have free booze and pizza and baked taters at the ones here in San Antonio. Love that free broadband :)
Glad you brought the iMac with you and now i have even more respect for this blog. A fellow mac user.
I am not a lone conservative with a house full of macs!
stay safe!

So where did you end up going, Paul? Hopefully WEST, not east because you might be stuck right in it's new path. I hope when you get home, it's still there, I really do. When I watched Charley blaze through Florida, I sat there and cried the whole time, for the people, for their homes, for their businesses, for all their hard work and all their losses. I really do hope that wherever you are, it's safe for you and your family and that your home can handle whatever comes near it. I'll be watching it and praying that not only does it downsize in strength, distance, damage ability but does not destroy areas like Charley and (dah? OMG, my brain just fizzled - the other hurricane) that has totally destroyed the state of Florida. Unfortunately, there's another one right behind it. I swear we are going to lose that state and might as well move everyone there to Texas because it has plenty of room.
You and your family take care; don't you just love the wireless? I have it, it's great. No tivo tho. I can't get my vcr/dvd/recorder/player to work! Why can't things be more simpler??? :-) Glad you're okay.

6 pm - first death here in the US from a tornado in Panama City, Florida.
Sorry Panhandle, Alabama and Louisiana.
Another 8-10 hours before it hits. It's 157 miles from Mobile, AL, 145mph winds, gusts 160mph, Category 4. Lots and lots of tornadoes. Extensive flooding already. Highway is open both sides going one way. Still that far from the coast, hope it does not pick up speed. Going 14 mph right now.
Now can we bring our troops home to rebuild here?

Paul: I am so glad to read that you found a safe spot to rest and wait out the storm...I was concerned about you, I really was. Now, just a bit ~envious~!
Stay safe, enjoy the time away and best wishes, just glad you managed to get away.
