crwmike 0 #101 September 12, 2004 QuoteMike, I don't like those predictions cause then it's gonna hit me. Hmmm. How bout Texas? They haven't shared the wealth this season. It's gonna veer west, pass south of the panhandle and miss Ga. entirely. Michael What was I thinking????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #102 September 12, 2004 Thank you so much for correcting that. We still have a few people w/o power so I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it either. I'm sure TX won't mind a little rain, or it cound go to Mexico since every time I've been there it was extremely dry. Too bad what we'd like will always hurt someone else. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunman 0 #103 September 12, 2004 The good news is it will probably be a cat 1 by the time it gets to GA. Anyway, I can't believe I lucked out... again. There was actually a full evacuation order two days ago down here in the keys, and I'm still here, along with a few other crazy locals. I didn't see a reason to leave 3 days before the hurricane arrives, when the projected path is only a guess. No premature evacuation for me Keep going west Ivan.

mouth 0 #104 September 12, 2004 Mark, OMG, I was wondering how you were and where you were. Glad to hear you are ok and that it is going to miss you. Don't you want to take a vacation away from paradise yet? Take Care, Lisa -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

BlindBrick 0 #107 September 13, 2004 QuoteYou are talking about 95% of the population of the alley then. Most of those with protection down here at the south end are from out of town. It is like anyting else, it has to hit home first or be so scary that you freak just thinking about it. I have lived in various parts of the alley for most of my life and never seen a tornado yet many have been very near. I have interior closets and bathrooms, why do I need a secial shelter? I can only speak from my experince beig raised in OK, but from an early age, we were taught how to read the weather and how to find shelter against tornados, it was a universal thing we heard it at home, church and school. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

RkyMtnHigh 0 #111 September 14, 2004 i spoke with a friend today who does construction and all of their plywood was stolen from the job site, then they went to Lowes to get more, and when he went back in to get some fasteners, some YAHOO stole the plywood right out of the back of his truck!

skygirlpc 0 #115 September 14, 2004 I live in Pensacola and as soon as I get off work today my sister and I are out of here! We decided it was a good excuse for a road trip. I hope everything here fares ok! There is still no telling where that thing will hit!

RkyMtnHigh 0 #116 September 14, 2004 Hey Danielle..glad to hear that you and your sis have evac plans. Talked to Ducky yesterday and he's planning to stay even though Perdido Key has mandatory evac. Most of my parents neighbors here in Mobile are heading up to Memphis, but my dad insists on boarding up and riding this out. We're getting my 90 yr old grandparents tonight because of risk of flooding. They're directly ON Mobile Bay. Safe travels. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygirlpc 0 #117 September 14, 2004 Oh my goodness! You guys be careful. We are headed north, we figure if it follows us we'll just change our route as we go. Now I'm just ready to get going. I think that my boss is going to let us go at noon. Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad, we'll see. Well, I hope you guys fare well! I know riding it out should be exciting!

skymama 37 #118 September 14, 2004 Hmmmm....Charley came to Florida when you were here and now you're in Mobile and Ivan is going that way. Then again, Frances skipped your area completely. Seems like the male hurricanes are following you around! What power you have!

happythoughts 0 #119 September 14, 2004 What is the deal with all the hurricane worries? I have insurance. I can put all my stuff in the trunk of the car, run away, and come back to no house. If I figure this right, I could get a new one every three years. Since I have a mobile home, how much time do I have to pull it to Pensacola? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #120 September 14, 2004 QuoteSince I have a mobile home, how much time do I have to pull it to Pensacola? My van is giving me a lot of problems this year.

Of course, your dryer has to be in a shed next to the driveway like my buddys was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay THIS is a time when I don't want a "magnetic personality" We're all boarded up, it's pitch dark in this house, everything that could be "torpedos" have been moved. Now I'm just catching up on lil tasks that require electricity in anticipation that we'll be out in 24 hours. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenster303 0 #124 September 14, 2004 I am thinking my mom and I are going to be the only crazy people to be heading south towards Florida today. My brother's wife evacuated to Texas without him because he is in the military and they hadn't given a evacuation notice until this morning. He is without a car so my mom and I are driving down to the Destin/Fort Walton area to pick him up.I'm so funny I crack my head open!
