Hurricane warnings
 

I know this is a little off topic, but I just wanted to know if anyone is preparing for the big hurricanes coming to our state. I wish luck to the cities on the western coast. I am near Orlando and the news said it might still be a category 1 hurricane by the team it reaches here. I don't have school tomorrow either because of it. Here's to hoping it randomly chooses to go back out to sea.

I'm sitting in St. Pete and my family and I are getting ready to head inland. I'm just hoping that our house doesn't flood out from the surges and, more importantly, there are no fatalities from this storm. My prayers are with all the people in the affected areas.

Yeah I'm going with Lisa.
I'm praying for y'all too. Hurricanes are really creepy sometimes.
We had one last year that was really bad. We missed like almost a week of school.
Right in the beginning of the year!
Anyways, you're in my prayers.

Re: Hurricane warnings
 

Oh yesss....Treasure Island is probably under mandatory evacuation as we speak!

It's so weird....I never heard of those places until last week when I spent a week of vacation on Tierra Verde Island and thoroughly explored St Petes, Treasure Island, Johns Pass ( LOVE THE HUT!), and Madiera Beach.

Praying for safe evacuation and miraculous lack of property damage.

Re: Hurricane warnings
 

It's better than having to make the day up though over like Spring or Winter Break. You have to have the 180 days of class. :D

But tomorrow I'm going to have to put up the shutters. No one seems to moving stuff inside around here. :( And we're getting the rain and the wind.

Good luck and stay safe!

Re: Hurricane warnings
 

I wish you guys luck and my prayers. Out of curiosity, what are you going to do while waiting for the hurricane(s) to pass? Play Magic? View CD (that is, if you maintain power)? Play cards? Board games? Etc.?

Re: Hurricane warnings
 

umm now at 9:30 martin county doesn't go to school so s.p.a.m. kids home so therefore we might have to make up the day during winter break--dec. 31-news years eve--what a great way to end the year in school :( --all well-- i rather go in 1/2 day and not make up the day but sleeping in is okay

we shall live through this hurricane it's okay not that bad

I'm gonna be listening to my iPod, and if powers on, try to get on AIM to remain in contact with friends and such. I was thinking about talking to friends on my cell, but even right now the towers are being overloaded with calls. If I can get on-line I will probably also check in on CD and try and update the areas condition. I just hope that our school doesn't flood, when I left today, some of our bots were still on the ground :ahh: .
