Hirricane season sounds like a good excuse for a road trip!

:agree: Here is the predicted path for the next 5 days! If this right it will be right over us late Sunday early Monday! Gonna be a fucked up Labor Day weekend!:(

Looks like 3 or 4 am for Tampa on Sunday. We're not in an evacuation zone so we'll probably stay put, get prepared again and hope for the best. Wish the time of day was different for us though...it's frightening when it's dark and you can't see outside.

:agree: Yeah...at least during the day you can see the flying debris or tornado that is heading your way! Night time is the worst!

There goes my birthday celebrations plans this weekend. :(

Seems odd how many of my friends on the east coast say they would never move to southern calif. because of earthquakes..

[blm]

They have already ordered nearly 500,oo people to begin evacuation:

"Evacuation orders were posted for 300,000 residents in coastal areas of Palm Beach County, and 192,500 were told to leave mobile homes and low-lying areas of Brevard and Martin counties. The evacuation orders were set to take effect Thursday afternoon."

They are worried for people that are not in the direct area because the ground is so saturated from all the storms we have been having, making it very easy for strong winds and/or flooding to cause power lines to fall or trees to fall into them.

Is it just me or do all you people in florida and the east coast just seem so damn calm? I would be stressed out.

I'm not in a evacuation zone, although I can still be affected by the winds and rain, all I can do is be prepared, hope for the best and let nature take its course. Stressing out about it isn't going to change anything. However, if I lived on the coast that was going to be hit directly...I'd be really freaked out. It would be terrible to lose everything you have worked for in a matter of minutes or even worse your life or your loved ones.

You sound like me. Maybe we're twins seperated at birth or something? LOL

What elevation are you? We're in E so flooding shouldn't be a problem. Since we're higher up a bunch of our friends wind up hiding out here.

At least this time my mother is already living with us so I won't have to worry about her. :)

I live in the NE by USF. When Charley came through, I had a house full of guests and their cats. I'm not overly concerned w/the flooding, but I live in "The Oaks" complex, you can probably guess why it has that name...so that is the only thing that concerns me. However, I don't have to worry about my car getting damamged because that is still in the shop from when I got caught in the South Tampa flash flood. Good ol' mama nature...lol.

Good thing with the car being tucked away. My mom's car had a bunch of little nicks and scratches all over it plus a few dents. She already got it repaired so we'll put her car in the garage for this storm. Typical old lady Caddy but it's pretty new, 2002.
