I have a sudden urge for ice cream :Graucho

I doubt they are saying come back to jamica now

that pic is quite impressive :warning

Damn I didnt realize that all the countries borders are visible from space!

another perfect storm, brace yourself people

Everyone I know is sweating this storm in a major way--except for my buddy who is a general contractor in Tampa. He is looking at a real bonanza of work. Recently in Florida the state relaxed the rules and are allowing general contractors the ability to do roofing jobs. One man's misery is anothers happiness...

beautiful things are often that dangerous

Very impressive

yeah... impressive

wow that looks incredible

Hm, makes me want some strawberries with cream...

Now that's a BIG BITCH!

Look out guys!!!

imagine being in the eye of the storm

that's the safest place to be

Geezus

DSL went down again last night. Just came back up.

Arrrrrgggghhhh.

Please God let it end . . . .

And the bitch of all bitches is most of Palm Beach County will have to weather this storm without power still from the last one. I'm hunkering down in my office for now. Got everything here working, bed, frig, AC, Net, microwave.

Look at this 1:45 update:

"Based on satellite imagery and Jamaica radar, it appears Kingston (capital) will take a direct hit or be within the northern eyewall.

Visible satellite imagery also confirms that Ivan has completed its eyewall replacement and is intensifying again. A recon. aircraft is currently on the way to measure the intensity. It is very possible that Ivan may reach 150-160mph again before hitting Jamaica. Due to the rapid increase in wind with height, the mountains along the southern coast of Jamaica will likely see sustained winds near 160 or higher as the hurricane moves through. Gust could exceed 200mph over the higher elevations. Needless to say there is going to be extreme damage if not total destruction across the island."

Holy shit....Jamaica is going to be leveled. What house in the hills will be able to take 200 mph winds? Is there anyone on GFY that lives in Jamaica?

that is just simply fucking amazing how something so massive can exist. Wow

Why not take a little trip to Tenn with my family?
