jesus 2 million in florida out of power
 

holy shit!

Does that mean KRL won't be posting today ?

:( saw it on tv..

Yea and yesterday somebody said the tornado was a joke? :helpme

KRL said it was a joke ;)

Woah :(

blame the muslims :angrysoap

you must mean "hurricane".. they are never jokes.. mother nature decided to spare florida one more time....it wont always be a joke one of these times..that state has it coming soon.

I am here in Central Florida. Currently we have 50+ mph sustained winds with gusts approaching 100mph. Power has been off and on for the last 12 hours. Cable just came back so that I am able to get online. According to the news we will have more of this current weather until about 2pm EST. The sound of the wind is very impressive.

So far from what I can see there are some trees down and the fences that did not go down 3 weeks ago with hurricane Charlie are going down now. We have had high winds for more than 24 hours. Where I am at we have not had much of the 20+ inches of rain that have been talking about.

I will try to stay connected and update with more info as I can.
Anyone anywhere in florida take care and be safe.

it's mad, they just survived a hurricane 2 weeks ago and now again...living in Florida is not easy :(

California also has it coming soon - it is going to sink after the big quake! the "new coast" will be hot ass Arizona.

It has been over 40 years since a hurricane has come though central Florida of the size and strength of either Charlie or Frances. We have thought we were safe here in the Central Florida area and are now realizing what the other parts of the stte go through with these types of storms. It is really nasty out there right now.

Well, I hope all of y'all are safe, but unfortunately, there is more. Here is the 5 day forecast for Ivan. They say he will be a cat 5 by Friday. This past Friday, he was 40mph, yesterday he went to 60mph, and today, he is 85mph with gusts of 105mph.

Tha's so sad...:(

I've got a friend who left friday night for deep sea fishing out of destin. I told him hes an idiot but he said he wasnt worried. kids these days...I swear.

That sucks.

Best wishes for everyone in Florida...
Hopefully, any damages that may occur will be minimal.

"jesus 2 million in florida out of power "


What makes Jesus so special and why is he in Florida?
I feel more for the 2 Million out of power than poor Jesus standing in the dark.

Double your estimate. There are currently 4 million people in florida without power.

Frances is taking its toll. I'm watching Ivan like a hawk.

damn, I hope theres no more fatalities...

Yahoo says 4 million without power. We're east of Tampa, and seeing sustained 50+ mph winds now, but still have power (and internet).

Holy ...that sucks big time :(

Vitasoy:

Sadly that will be inevitable. But considering the numbers of folks there, so far, it "appears" not to be a big issue.

I does "appear" - least at the moment - the state services have made the situation clear and folks have listened.

Tho.. this is only a cat 2 hurricane - not exactly an "earth flattner" - but it is travelling slowly and gonna just cause more damage by "hovering".

Tho Frances is damned serious (anything can change yet!) - I find it ironical listening to all the news media coverage and fuss over this. It was only a few years back when 12,000 people were killed just across the Gulf in Guatamala by a hurricane and the only mention that got initially was a small column on the back page of the US press - if that. That is still rarely mentioned as being a "bad hurricane" in the US. The people of Guatamala were obviously in the classification of "non people".

More recently there was another storm which hit the coast of Venezuala while I was in that region. Bodies were being pulled out of the sea where they had been washed down from inland. That also had little mention.

Fingers crossed - but Florida, so far, is very lucky! This was a big storm if nothing else.

Last hurricane here it took 2 weeks to get power back and over a month for cable. I super super hate it for you guys in FL:(

mardigras:

Think I'd rather be alive and see others still walking than bothering about some power or cable technicality! :winkwink:

sucks big time :(

does that mean 2 million peoples groceries will be ruined? damn.

Yeay more Internet bandwidth and new porn subscripts. from people on pron withdraws
