beowulf 1 #27 September 9, 2004 QuoteQuoteMan! I can't believe people actually choose to live in FL. When we get bad weather here, at least we don't have to leave our homes. I hate living in FL but I want to raise my kids around family members and I can't get them to move! Really? I hated living FL also That is why I live in TX now. What is your reason for disliking FL?

skymama 37 #28 September 9, 2004 QuoteWhat is your reason for disliking FL? The climate mostly. It's so depressing to me to have the heat and humidity start in March and not end until November. I would like to live someplace where the seasons actually change. I like looking at and being surrounded by mountains and big, full trees so much more than beaches and palm trees. I haven't even been to the beach yet this year, it's totally wasted on me! And I hate having to wear shorts all the time. Winter clothes are so much cuter!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
mouth 0 #29 September 9, 2004 QuoteQuoteEdit to add: By the way, this hurricane season has sucked ass. Global warming, possibly? Hurricane seasons seem to have cycles too - 25 'good years' followed by 25 'bad years'. We're about 8 - 10 years into the "bad 25 years" ... something about strong/weak thermohaline circulation. You know hurricanes used to only be given female names? The names for this year: Alex Bonnie Charley Danielle Earl Frances Gaston Hermine Ivan Jeanne Karl Lisa Matthew Nicole Otto Paula Richard Shary Tomas Virginie Walter --- And there's your useless bit of hurricane trivia. I get to be one this year. Wow, not sure if that is a compliment or not but I guess they ran out of cool names. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

It's too f-in cold; a person would freeze to death when the weather gets bad here. Give me a good old fashion hurricane/tropical storm anyday. At least you don't have to go to work when the storm hits. Here, no one gives a sh*t if it snowed 24" last night; best not be late for work. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

AggieDave 6 #32 September 9, 2004 Yeah, if we got 24" of snow here in central Texas, I doubt anyone would go to work for a week. Damn, the flacid penis of American is gonna get blown again.

AggieDave 6 #37 September 9, 2004 Hey now, you've got time to run from a tornado, usually folks have a clean 2 minutes to run for cover when they see a tornado.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #38 September 9, 2004 I totally agree with you. Too bad FL has both hurricanes & tornadoes. At least the tonadoes up here tend to be bigger & trackable (well for the 2 - 15 mintutes they're active anyway). Mel, it can totally suck here in Chicago area. It gets blooming cold - but the slopes are nothing to even think of. Typically the fake snow just freezes & so the skiing is horrid. It's so dang cold some people have to start their cars 30 minutes before they expect to need to drive them. That doesn't even start to talk about shoveling the snow that the plow pushed up behind your car outta the way. My mom (in FL) was complaining about tripping over the sand bags around here doors for the past month - I'd rather trip over that then the nasty melted ice pu that stains the carpet & the shoes filling the hall way. Why am I here again - dang I must love my man. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

skymama 37 #46 September 9, 2004 QuoteYup, and a little rain wouldn't stop us from going to work either! The rain doesn't stop us. It's the high winds making it difficult to drive and no electricity that kind of slows us down from getting much done. New report...The Keys are already under an evacuation order.

BlindBrick 0 #48 September 9, 2004 QuoteI still think tornados are scarier than hurricanes. At least with a hurricane you have time to prepare/run. Back in the day, htat was true, but not so much now. With advanced radar and computers, meteorlogists can give you fro 5-30 minutes warning about a tornado, And honestly, if you knowingly live in tornado alley and don't have valid shelter wihtin about five minutes, then maybe you need to let natural selection take its course. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

skybytch 273 #49 September 9, 2004 QuoteWhat about the mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes? I'll take any and all of the above over a hurricane that's aimed directly at my house and business. At least with earthquakes and mudslides you don't have "worry time" before or after - you don't know it's coming and you know pretty quickly afterwards if you're fucked or not. Wildfires are kinda scary if you live in a rural area, but again there's less worry time before and after. Hurricanes are just wrong. If I have to run from Ivan I think I'm running west. Way west.
