Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic1 I hope so too regarding the fires. I don't know how strong of a storm this is but I hope you all down south stay safe.

It even rained at the Magic Kingdom for about an hour around 5 or 6--but cleared up for the parades and fireworks. Now we're carefully back home in Morva--curled up in front of the fireplace while looking at all these pictures we took last week of Dustysage, Fishbulb, WDWJason and YOU!!
