It Ain't Lookin Good
« on: August 31, 2004, 05:55:55 am »
 Looks like we may have to cut and run, if this next storm doesn't turn.  ::) ::)  Predictions indicate the storm will pass right over our house.  ::) ::)

 Headed to camp for a couple days to gather logs and then stow the boats and see where the storm is.

 Anybody want some company for the weekend ???  :o :)

 Tom and Tom and Rusty, Crosscut, rvrdiver, BigDogPC, pay attention and GOOD LUCK.  ::) ::) Y'all on the East Coast, hang on. It's predicted to be a "4" when it hits.  :o :o ::) ::)

You know you're always welcome here. Accomodations are a bit sparse, with just the one spare bedroom, but I can stand it if you can. :)

Just saw the weather report. This thing looks scary! :o  Sustained winds are already 135mph. Now looking for it to go more northward, maybe to the Jacksonville area.  HEADS UP all you Toms and Rusty.  Tie your stuff down and get ready to run.
Spoke to Billbobtlh on the phone a while ago. He has space available for refugees, too.

If anyone has a sudden need, contact me at 850-510-2668 and I'll do my best to find a place for you.

Just spoke with Harold's wife.  FDH and Swampy are in Palatka tieing down and headed back south asap to evacuate the family if necessary. Ol' Harold has seen these things before. He knows what to do and, if you'll notice, has wasted no time in getting busy.  Smart one, that guy. :)

Mine too!

I just checked the weather here and don't see any hurricanes in the local forecast so you're welcome to come up and stay in da thurdy-room house till it blows over. I've even got a couple of logs to be sawed so you won't get homesick.

Thanks guys. I'm suggesting that they all run to here, then if the bloomin' thing follows them, we have more choices of directions to flee further. :P

Noble, I'm sure he'd agree with you right now, but try tellin' him that in January when he's sawing lumber in his b'mooder shorts and flippityflops. ;D :D :D

It definitly is a major hurricane, your in my thoughts and prayers.  I can handle a tornado much more than I could a hurricane.  Take care all!

It doesn't show the hurricane yet but it will if and when it gets closer to land fall.  You can just click on Florida and it'll give you the area radar, click on "Radar Loop" it'll give I think about a two hour mini clip of the direction it's traveling.

This link can also work for other parts of the country.


Hoping and praying for you folks down there.

take care,
pappy

Several years ago when the last #5 hit land I ALMOST headed down to see it come in. Didn't go and was kicking myself for a looooooooooong time!!!!!!!!!!!! :-/
I swore that the next #5 to hit land, I'd be there!!!!!!!!!
Now I KNOW this thing is going to a #5, and it's KILLING me not to be on the way there right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Might just get suicidal and see how far I can push the truck, never know!  ;D

Anyways, hope everyone makes out Ok. Be safe!!!!!!

Don’t even think that way Furby.  I got to meet Ms. Camille along about 1969 up close and personal in Biloxi curiosity of the USAF.  Something I would have gladly passed up.

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.  Take care.

Sorry Larry, that's just me.
I hope everyone gets out of the way, fast! But I STILL want to be there!!!!!! If that was the way things ended for me, it would be the way I'd want it to, but I STILL want to see it!!!!!
Was just offered a car for the trip! Now if only I knew they could afford to replace that car (they can't).  :-/

Furby, I was just telling Tom how much i had come to enjoying your posts after the rough start we had on here way back in the olden days. I still do, but I gotta say, YER A BLOOMIN IDIOT! ;)

I love to watch a storm too. And like everybody else although nobody admits it, I like to watch the replays of the crashes at a Nascar race, BUT I would not want to stand in the middle of the track if I new there was going to be a crash at that spot!

Brother Dave, one of my most favorite philosophers, was asked one time where he wanted to be if an Atom bomb was set off.

He replied, "Somewhere where I can say, What was that?"

That's kinda how I feel about these hurricanes,.  

Been there, Done that. :D

Furby ,I feel sort of the same way. The power of nature is an awesome sight to behold. But after living on a boat for a couple of years I've beholded enough to know I wouldn't want to be there unless I had a cement bunker with 1" lexan windows.
Here's hoping that it turns away this time.

Yep!

I know!   ;) ;)

At the races you can sit on the sidelines and still feel the raw power of the cars, and see the crashes.
We don't get to see much of a storm like that by the time it gets way up here. I love tornado chasing, just don't get many around here. TV sure as heck isn't as good as the real thing with something like this.
Besides, can you honestly say you have NEVER wanted to be down with the pit crew ??? Come on, the truth now........
Kinda sounds like you'ld stand in the middle of the track if ya didn't know a crash was going to happen right then???
It's same thing, just different.  ;D
