If ya havn't heard, (which I hope you have if you live in the path)
It's headding right towards Hobe Sound, just a little north of where I and the enitre SPAM team lives...(there might be another team closer to Hobe Sound than us but I'm really bad with locations of teams :confused: )
I'm going to ride it out but I know alot of people who are leaving. I'll be taking pics throughout the storm if I can and will post em' later.

WEll i wasnt planning on evacuating from my apartment untill the meeting at the office. They told us that when are apartments are 100% they are suppose to withstand 105 mph. WEll our buildings are not a 100% thanks to charley and in fact at the meeting the leasing lady said we will be lucky if buildings are still standing up in the complex. That was enough for me but my only other evacuation was to my parents house in Ft. Lauderdale and thats where i am now getting ready. WEll my prayers are with everyone and everyone be safe, especially you titus you scare me a little :rolleyes:

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone down there. We're supposed to be in Orlando a week from now - I hope it's still there! I overlaid Charley on the latest Frances projection - Ouch!

aww, poor Arefin, I'ld come and help you if i didn't hafta put the ones up around my house. I went to my dad's office today. His office is just a big warehouse filled with furniture and wire ornaments. He's expecting to lose everything. We have about 10,000 dollars worth of stuff outside alone, and none if it's tied down. He has a trailer filled with new furniture that he just bought from the Amish a couple of weeks ago that he hasn't unloaded yet, it's got a couple thousand dollars on it alone. He parked his 20 ft. box truck in front of the shop window, because we didn't put anything up over the windows. I took pictures from all around the outside. We're not evacuating. We waiting it out in our laundry room. Our neighbor was nice enough to give us a key to his house if ours was damaged and we needed a roof to stay under. My mom's company already made plans to rent a building in the nearest unhurt town. If they stop working for more than 8 days, they go out of business. The only other place her company has offices is in Maine, and they can't take over the whole business without help from the offices down here, which means they all lose their jobs as well. I'm having a hard time with taking down my trampoline. I already took off the spring cover, all the springs, and the bouncing pad, but i can't take the frame apart :eek: :ahh: I still want to go to the beach on Saturday, but we're locking ourselves in our house, so i don't think i'll be able to. My dad expects the whole county to lose power tonight, so I'll not talk to you all in a while.... I'll miss you guys!!!

For those of you that wanted to know, I found a size comparison between Francis and Charlie. Charlie is on the left and Francis is on the right.

Re: Huricane francis
 
I've been watching the trajectory of this hurricane the entire time and it seems to be quite threatening. I've gone trough hurricanes of category 4 before and even 5 and let me tell you it is nothing to be careless about. They can be very very dangerous. If you have been told to evacuate, I would try to do so (because that has been said for a reason). But if you will not do it - at least you should (or I should say, all of us should) prepare for it.

I know that people that live in mobile homes HAVE to evacuate and they should because I've seen what Charley did to some mobile homes - Francis will be much worse. Um mm ... regardless of where we live we must all be prepared and pray that nothing fatal will happen.

They say that the hurricane is shifting quite a bit, but it is surely going to hit Florida quite hard. Exactly the direction that Francis will take ... we don't yet
... and Francis could take different paths depending on where it is that it enters. One of the paths could severely affect Osceola County, Polk County and leave trough Citrus County, another of the paths suggests that the eye of the hurricane could go straight through Hillsborough County, (which is where I live)... so I WILL POST AGAIN AS FRANCIS GETS NEARER FLORIDA AND MORE INFORMATION IS SAID. :)

Ya Andrew was very small and compact, thats why when it hit it took everyone by surprise.
When Andrew first hit it was classified as a category 4 but within like the past 3 years it was upgraded to a category 5
