Hurricane warnings

[spears312]

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.?

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 .

So... The National weather service had the greatest opportunity to make a cool set of names for these storms and they dropped the ball.

Obviously if you have a phenomenon of 2 potential hurricanes happening at the same time for the first time in 100 years or so, and you name the first one Bonnie.. wouldn't it make sense to name the second one Clyde???

C'mon NWS... Get in the swing of things here.

That said, the waves in NH were great today after the little rain that was going on there yesterday, it's just too bad that I am back in CT now.

Oh well...

Good luck to all you folks down in the South-East USA!

Good luck to yall, if there's one thing I miss from the east coast, it's hurricans, we're lucky to get rain here in the Cali desert.

Great. the one county that has school tomarro in all of florida and it has to be mine. well, better sleep for school tomarro.

[Melissa Nute]

I'm not preparing for it....but the millions of over reacting people in Jacksonville are. The storm isn't even going to *really* hit us here.

But us Floridians know how to handle times like these. Heck, it isn't even that bad of one.

[JudyVandy]

Thoughts and prayers are with you Floridians in what seems to be turning into 'Hurricane Alley.' I hope the storm surge doesn't get as high as predicted.

BTW, when did you start school? August 1???? When does your school year generally end? Our part of PA usually starts the week before Labor Day.

My county started school last Thursday, Aug. 5th. Our last day will be Mar 23rd... w00t begin the countdown! I'd assume Florida's spring and summer seasons start much earlier than PA... things start warming up about February.

Wow, here we start September 7 and get out June 10.

And this doesn't seem to be too bad of a hurricane outside of the coast and the direct hit zone, I think it's only a 2 right now. I remember Floyd however made my hometown into an island a few years back.

Anyways, good luck to all of you.

[GILLIGAN!!!!!!!]

ya, right now its only 1 mph lower than a cat 3, but hopefully after it passes through, it will do all of us surfers a favor and kick up some swells by sunday !

Keep your fingers crossed

[Dan Richardson]

I'm not really doing anything lol

Not to worried about it.. prob. just gonna be like another big thunderstorm we get every afternoon:-)

but still I'll be prayin for the people who are supposed to get hit pretty hard.

Not to make too much light out of the situation, I think it was just pure coincidence and luck that they name a 'cane "Charley" after our 2004 robot.

[Barry Bonzack]

unplugging the computers and getting ready. see you all soon

[Dan Richardson]

wow I take what I said back, I thought it was only a cat 1 or most 2... I just flipped on the news, and realized its a cat 4... wow, Ft. Meyers and Port Charelot area have never been hit like this before. Apparently like 15 ft. storm surge, thats insane.

I'll be prayin for you guys... I'm not really scared cuz it looks like its gonna miss Ft. Lauderdale and most of the rest of south east florida. We'll just get rain most likely.

Well good luck guys.

[Stephen Kowski]

woohoo....tampa outta the fire....i feel bad for fort myers, but I'm off the hook neways....

[MattK]

Crap Cat4... ya'll better hang on tight!

Cat4's are really scary (although how would I know... I live in New Hampster)
