:helpme

This, again? :mad:

Yeh, computer models indicating this could be head on into SF.

:BangBang:

looks like its heading right for me

(myrtle beach sc)

WTF, not again :BangBang:

I was actually planning on taking a few days vacation in South Beach next week but I'm getting a little tired of these hurricanes. Every time I go to Florida, a hurricane follows me.

WG

shit.... we already got it once here in key west this season.....here comes another.

dudes i have a solution lets do a party and invite all webmasters and you shall see the fucking storm miss just like it did on internext. the gods hate us but we are stronger....

or drunker:thefinger :eek7

Please post signs on the beach telling this one to turn around and go back. We are still trying to clean up from the last one here in Central FL. This would be really bad if this one came through so soon. Still have lots of damage and people without homes and power around me.

you sound like you live near me.. what area of FLA ?

Live: Osceola County
Work: Orange County

What do you do during hurricanes? do you leave town, or stay home?
or do you have reinforced safe rooms in your house or something?
Ive never been in one, or a tornado. I would fucking freak if that was happening to me.

that's cool.. I'm in POLK

So you got messed up more than we did.

clickhappy:
The smart people near the ocean (or gulf) leave. Normally by the time the storms get to us here in Central FL the storms are weaker with winds under 100mph. With Hurricane Charley this was not the case as sustained winds in my area exceeded 120+mph with gusts even higher.

We stayed at the house for Charley and will most likely do the same if this one comes at us. If it gets to a 5 and is going to head into central FL, I will be heading out AZ for a much needed vacation.

yea i got lucky as shit.. my house untouched, two houses down; destroyed.

My house ok only a little wood damage near the roofline.
Fence gone. Not sure where it went it just went.
Shed gone. Found most of it in the neighbors pool and yard.
Trees got a couple left standing.
Got lucky on the power as we lost it at 8:00pm Friday and had it back at 7:00am Saturday.

3 of People that stayed with us during the storm lost their houses. They have been told by FEMA that FEMA will help them after their insurance companies pay them. They are still waiting for their insurance to come out to see the damage.

FEMA has been pretty good here, they were walking around handing out 1000.00 generators for FREE. They told people to just keep them lol..

It worked last time, should work again :P

Im not freaking out yet.. you how many of these I go thru every year.. since andrew... and none of them hit...

I'll freak out by friday when we have a better idea of where it's gonna hit..

That was nice of them. I am looking to get a couple of nice used generators after the mess is cleaned up and everyone does not need them anymore.

One of my friends who is living in the shell of a house he has left is spending $20 a day on gas for the generator. He is on the Osceola/Polk line in Poincianna. I keep telling him to pack up what he can and get the hell out of there. All that mold that is building in the walls and carpet is going to have a severe effect on his health later on. His wife and kids did leave but he is determined to stay and wait for the insurance adjuster.

With Charley they kept saying, even on Friday, that it was going to hit Tampa and they still got it wrong. All those people came into Central FL and got hit when they could have stayed home and been ok.

Damn it putting up shutters sucks ass :(

Good news if you work for the cable company. My guys are making $22/hr repairing lines:thumbsup

ACK

Something in me wants to go stay down there while it's coming through, though....


Glad Charley didn't have that sort of storm track. Internext would have been REALLY interesting.

Don't get scared, it's just a tornado with rain :Graucho

KRL we better go rescue all those strippers!!!

perfect just what we need.

:1orglaugh
Sucks to be you Charles!

That thing just looks wimpy compared to the last one.

hit me up icq 4609370 i'll take u out

If the same people are hit 2 times I would really feel sad for them ... Imagine loosing your trees and having like 15k $ dammage, re-building and boom, a month later it's gone

Supposed to be a busy hurricane season the next couple years.

the wider the cone the larger the error, we won't know for sure untill around labor day weekend, so it's still early to predict where it would hit

what the average lifespan of a 'cane? isnt 5-6 days before landfall a longshot?

no shit me too

Woo another hurricane!

once it hits land it dies fast couple days maybe 3, it thrives on hot water mostly coupled with other things i have no idea about, but it can easily cross florida and keep on going, unless there's a front of some sort to pick it up or kill it


hopefully that thing will either turn or try and go over the mountains down there and get broken up, i dont think we need another hurricane hit here

I feel your pain, I lost a cherry 70' monte' carlo & some nice furniture to Andrew a few years back...

S. Florida is a fun ass place to be cept for those nasty hurricanes & humidity...other than that I love the place...

When Andrew hit it was so big that you could not see the state of florida via satalite.

It his with winds gusting to like 250+. I was there. It was amazing.

The it hit the gulf, and continued to New Orleans. When it hit there, it still had most of the strength.


Nasty business that.

Another day in paradise..... I will be prepared. Nothing good comes out of this. The bright side is it may brush South Florida but Andrew was about the same path so who knows.:helpme
