Hurricanes are weird. Lots of time people board up their houses and the things don't even come their way. Then other times shit catches you by suprise. When I was living in Houston and hurricane Alicia came through we didn't have a clue it was gonna make landfall. Made for and exciting night, though. Broken windows galore.

[CD5Passion]

hey man no complaining, that storm is gonna be sitting on top of me tomorow by 2pm....with a cat 3 hurricane..so hopefully I'll have access to the net, but wish us luck while we ride it out

btw my house is located on a class C flood zone....classes a, b, and c are being evaced, the tampa bay bridges will be shut down by 12am tonight, mandatory evac began at 5pm this evening...:|

[ChrisCantSkate]

hmm... well im gonna buy a bunch of stuff from wally world tonight and hope they close my store down so i dont have to work 4-10 tomorrow night. i'll probobly tape my windows... and if i have to i'll goto the east coast tomorrow

[ChrisCantSkate]

pudding, box of cinimon toast crunch, box of lucky charms, gatorade candles and some oatmeal cream pies... i guess thats kinda close to canned food and a flashlight

[mylittlecivic]

haha you'll do good chris but you forgot the beer. Does that hurricane stuff happen alot to you guys? never had to worry about that here.... there was a volcano eruption in the 80s but I wasnt around for that:paranoid:

[AkimboStylee]

IT IS NOW A CATERGORY 4 AND IT IS SLOWING DOWN, SUPPOESED TO UPGRADE

[ChrisCantSkate]

oh shit

[AkimboStylee]

wow i just saw a funnel cloud, it came doen and went back up

[GT40FIED]

Time to put the cars inside 'cause you guys are gonna get bent over and done dry by that hurricane.

[CD5Passion]

well damn it completely missed st pete and tampa, I mean seriously all day it rained once, and wasn't even windy....but hey it was 75 degrees and no humidity...it was beautiful

[GT40FIED]

Yeah...but it completely fucked some town called Punta Gorda. I actually found it quite odd that there'd be a town called "Fat Bitch", FL. Oh well. Oh yeah...it killed 3 people there. That too.

[CD5Passion]

yeah I kept hearing that they had tornadoes on radar and were telling people in a few areas to seek safety fast. was kinda scary..but we sat outside all day waiting to be able to skim board in the street haha

[FlooredAccord]

Hope you guys stay safe, and be carefull. Hope the shit doesn't hit a fan. Just take care guys:wave:

[AkimboStylee]

well we got hit pretty hard, no power at any of the street lights(i picked one up last night!) and trees are down all over the place, flooding too. my other roomate went back to daytona, and he had a 50 ft pine tree fall in his back yard, a tree fell on his neihbors house, and the house got struck by lightning. all of which was caused by a tornado, caused by charlie. we had wind gusts of at least 100 mph. went outside and leaned over and wind trted to push me back it was fun, 4 more days and we will have another one they say. my school got hit pretty hard, and they are closed untill further notice.

[ChrisCantSkate]

i JUST got power back... 82 hours 23 mins... not that i counted :paranoid: . i stayed here the whole time and it was loud and very windy. we herd a few tornados and im guessing thats what did the majority of the damage to my area. there were 105 mph gusts which isnt as bad as ft. meyers or punta gorda but shit, inland orlando. isnt ready for that stuff. my friend went out friday night at about 2am leaving my place, and it was completly trashed. trees in every road, couldnt go through in some places. there were power lines laying everywhere, roofs torn up... it really is a mess here. the winterpark arae of orlando looked pretty bad when i drove through it on sunday even though they already had a whole day to clean up.

[mylittlecivic]

dang and I was complaining about it being too hot here:o
