10. Here we go again, stay safe friend!....n/t

[malaise]

11. Back at you

:D

[Skink]

2. AHHHH

[BOSSHOG]

3. I get a knot in my stomach

everytime I see such maps. We are right there on the lower east/west boundary of Mississippi and Louisiana.

[malaise]

4. Stay safe please

Let's hope this doesn't head in your direction.

[BOSSHOG]

5. Or yours either My Friend

Since Katrina I get sick when the wind blows hard.

8. I'll never forget the pre or post-Katrina posts here

This one is missing my island.

9. Start stocking up on your favorite cocktails..

and other essentials BOSS, I'm sure you're used to Hurricane Season though!...:hi:

14. I could do the prep work in my sleep but

its still a scary situation. Whenever I see a storm tracking map I hear the sound track to Jaws. And storms with heavy winds make me very nervous.

6. Hopefully it will go fishing.

If it takes the more westerly track in the above link, it will be over a lot of islands, rather than open water, so hopefully that will keep it from getting too strong.

7. A foreign low is attacking our country with gi-normous arrows!!!

This is a job for quick draw McBush.

12. Eeeek!

I'm in Key West

Where is that pic people post saying "not this shit again"?

We got the crap beat out of us in '05. Fingers crossed.

13. That photo had me wondering as to whether two hurricanes

have ever been created out of one tropical storm? For some reason this looks like it could split to my layman's eyes.

Thanks for the thread, Virginia Dare.

16. jacksonville florida checking in

[cwydro]

18. Check out the models

on Weather Underground. Looking like a Florida landfall.

[magellan]

19. The models are virtually useless until the storm establishes a low level center

Without that they'll be all over the place, as we've seen.

Recon has been out looking again this afternoon so we might have a center fix with the 5pm update.

[cwydro]

20. Yeah, just saw the latest.

So now we have a "cone of destruction" lol.

[magellan]

21. Damn, you were right

Go away, Fay!

[cwydro]

23. It is all over the TV now

I live in the Keys so I get the Miami channels...they love this shit.

Run for the hills! Buy canned food! Get bottled water! Evacuate! Stay tuned in!

:crazy:

[Edweird]

24. The WSVN techno of doom.

I can't watch them, their verb tense usage drives me crazy.

[magellan]

25. Ha! LOL

Yeah, we live in Orlando so I can kinda empathize. Hope you don't need to use those evacuation routes.

And remember, don't panic!

22. As long as it's only a Tropical Storm or a Category 1 Hurricane

We can always use the rain.

I don't board the windows unless it's a Category 2 or higher.
