matt1215 0 #3 August 27, 2006 QuoteYea, just in time for Labor Day weekend. I'm buying my water and batteries today just in case it comes my way. Hopefully it will have ripped through FL (or chosen an alternate path of destruction, or dissipated) by Friday so it doesn't dampen the 4-day jump-weekend. I don't foresee much action from this one (at least not in Melbourne), but hitting Walmart tonight for supplies sounds like a fine idea. Hopefully we won't get into the Greek alphabet this year.

aprilcat 0 #9 August 28, 2006 My son Danny just moved in Orlando 6 months ago. If you see a big dummy who is extraordinarily good looking walking around in the rain, can you PLEASE tell him to come in out of it? He has been waiting for his first 'real' hurricane. What kids 'wait' for...jeeze.. Good luck to all of you in Florida~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RkyMtnHigh 0 #19 August 28, 2006 Last year, they said Wilma (cat 1) was a "minimal hurricane" so no one here in West Palm took it seriously and didn't even board up..and when she arrived, it was Cat 3. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #24 August 28, 2006 Yeah, I think I'll stop and get gas, cash and ice today. The ice worked really well last time to help keep my food cold when the electricity went out. Since it's a Cat 1, maybe I'll be able to keep power this time.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
