Tropical Strom Fay Approaches

Original posting Aug 19, 2008

I have to say....I haven't been this scared since I lived in Ft. Lauderdale back in '92 when I experienced Hurricane Andrew. Until then, I had never experienced a really scary, cat 4 or 5 hurricane...and I am a native.

I am writing from the 5th floor of a 6 story condo on the beach in Melbourne. The speed of the winds right now are about 50 mph and the eye of Fay is 60 miles southwest of us right now (it is 3 p.m.). The wind is whipping so hard and flowing in between the gaps of the balcony shutters that wrap around from outside my livingroom area. The howling sound is un-nerving. Also the rain is coming under the shutters in puddles on the balcony floor. I am trying to keep a couple of the window shutters open so I can see what is going on outside. All day today I have been hearing somebodies home alarm (I think above me where I believe the owner is not in their unit).

I have three cats here that I am caring for and they are very much aware of the bad weather outside. I wish I had a valium for them (and for me) but I guess I need to keep my wits about me just in case.....

The photos were taken 15 min ago...updates later.... I hope.

My name is Kym Rose and i would like to show you my personal experience with Valium.

I am 30 years old. Have been on Valium for 30 days now. Valium helped me realize that many of my symptoms WERE anxiety related. Got prescribed 5mg every 8 hours for leg and arm spasms.(Only need at most 1 a day) Only bad thing is the vivid dreams after a few days of use.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
Giddiness, drowsiness.

I hope this information will be useful to others,

I do not know this person and disagree with anyone promoting pharmaceutical drugs on my web-blog! If I could delete this I would!!! Valium has been over-prescribed and is HIGHLY addictive!! Do not take this drug if at all possible!!!!!
