5:46 am

ItalianGreyhound

Saved by the bell (googled it)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

I found them. Also a type of owl

5:48 am

sukee

It also means to scream :)

5:51 am

sukee

I keep wanting to type cheese for some reason

5:51 am

I keep seeing CNN in this grid

5:54 am

It's there.

5:54 am

ItalianGreyhound

I am streaming NBC-2news FT Myers live - stunning damage

5:55 am

sukee

I saw a photo of the mall there

5:55 am

Deeha

what happened IC?

5:56 am

A Facebook friend I had said a tornado hit the building next to them, they were untouched. There were upside down cars and lots of damage.

ItalianGreyhound

entire freeway/causeway gone

5:56 am

sukee

And some people don't believe storms are getting worse...

5:57 am

ItalianGreyhound

5:57 am

Scrabbler

As the sun rises the damages will be discovered.

5:57 am

sukee

It's scary, glad I live in Ontario, but we are not immune to tornados

5:58 am

Also glad I live inland, I used to want to have an ocean front home.

6:00 am

sukee

Well, time for me to take a break, made it almost half way

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I am approaching halfway.

7:27 am

MollyL

The images of the damage in Fort Meyers is depressing. I hope this will encourage more people to evacuate if something like this happens again.

7:39 am

ItalianGreyhound

Lee County (Ft Myers area) just said "hundreds of fatalities"

7:45 am

ItalianGreyhound

I moved to Texas from Ft. Myers - beautiful area

mael

sounds like the news are walking that back a bit, hopefully the sheriff was just overzealous

7:52 am

ItalianGreyhound

hope so

7:52 am

mael

he may have meant to say casualties and not fatalities

7:52 am

mael

hopefully

8:00 am

MollyL

It is way too early to have definitive counts on fatalities and injuries

The hawaiian goose is NOT FROM THAT N. It is from the N in the second column. Ty anyway.\

8:49 am

rururocks

the n you want is the clamworm word

8:49 am

mkg

Still missing both N words for the fourth column N.

8:50 am

it's a real word!

9:32 pm

Freeman

se7/44, please?

9:33 pm

Jacula

Freeman - se7/44 = more peaceful and calm.

9:34 pm

Freeman

I have that one but it is the first se7 I am looking for, please?

9:38 pm

Jacula

se7/44 (first) the act of keeping something hidden and way from public view.

9:38 pm

Jacula

(Only just spotted that one myself, btw.)

9:39 pm

Freeman

I know but I am not seeing it

9:40 pm

Freeman

Also stuck on the sq8. Does it work off the sq6 before it?

9:40 pm

Jacula

Ends with sometimes 'vowel', if that helps.

9:40 pm

Freeman

I'm looking

9:41 pm

Jacula

Sq8/55 does use the whole of the sq6/27 before it. Then add a vowel and a consonant.

9:42 pm

Freeman

found the se7 thanks that last clue really helped

9:42 pm

Jacula

Diving back into the grid myself now, as I still have 27 words to find. *Splash!*

9:43 pm

Freeman

Found it as well. Finished all the s's.

9:43 pm

Freeman

Thanks

9:43 pm

Jacula

Well done!

9:56 pm

Jacula

FIREWORKS! *~~*~* My last word was sc9/72, something you might name a parrot or a harridan.

9:57 pm

Freeman

Congrats and thanks for all the help

9:58 pm

Off now into the land of Nod, then the world of wool, then the world of lasagne making. Happy Babbling all. x
