:angry:

Great!!!!

I hear Palm Springs California is the place to be these days.

No No No No No !!!!

Dammit


If I have to make a trip down to Fort Myers I want to relax, not do repairs.

Condo made it through Charlie pretty much ok, just a little leak.

Haven't heard anything yet as to whether the perpetual wind called Frances did anything to it.

Don't need another one coming anywhere near there for a while.

(Go to Houston Ivan, go to houston.....)

maybe AZ isn't a bad idea

I posted about this back when we were tracking Frances

I hope not but there may be more

If I actually believed in God I might think the people of Florida pissed him off somehow!! This is nuts. I assume that if this hits FL again that you would have to go back pretty far to see a similar back-to-back-to-back hurricanes in such a short amount of time. :(

This one looks like it's going to get loose in the gulf, so who knows where it'll go ashore. It's at least a week away.

Yeah I am going to be in New Orleans. Hope it does not head thre.

I guess if it hits me it'll be sunday evening
5 days

Yeah I am going to be in New Orleans. Hope it does not head thre. [/b][/quote]
Hmmm....

Mike goes to Miami....Charley follows him.

Mike goes home to Tampa...Frances cuts all the way across the state to pay him a visit.

If Ivan follows you to Nawlins they may not let you back into Florida until hurricane season is over.

Yeah I am going to be in New Orleans. [/b][/quote]
Thank you for sparing my condo this time around Mike :wnw:

this whole situation feels a lot like the movie The Day After Tomorrow - 3 hurricanes in a row ... lets just pray no twisters start up in Los Angeles

holy crap guys ;-((((
wish there was something we could do to help

as I was falling alseep 2 nights ago
I thought, "long line at dominos, no power anywhere else, nothing else open, its the end of the world"
then I woke up fully and said, hey that was last night, only place open was dominos and a Mcdonalds down in pompano

I quit!!!

We really got hammered with Charley and didn't end up too bad with Frances.

I can't take another one right now. :ph34r:

looks like ivan might take the gulf route

if its a friggin 5 and climbs up the east coast
i'm flying to friggin dallas early

Now the forecasts are taking it away from the Gulf and right up FL again :(

damn that trak changed a lot. Last night when I looked, it was dead on for Fort Myers with an arrival time of Sunday 8pm. Went to sleep last night thinking, ok, if I take off in the morning, stop and buy plywood up here loca and then drove I could be there tomorrow morning. Get the windows shutered...etc... Planning a whole marathon session to get down there, boarded up and out of there before the storm hit.

Then I see this morning that they are now calling for a sharper turn right up the glades. This keeps up, by tonight it will be out of the gulf and streaming up the Atlantic....

This just fucking blows, pun intended.

So much for buying a new car. I'm gonna go buy a beater till Hurrican season is over.

This is Crazy!

Jamaica is about to be wiped out.

REMEMBER... NONE of the previous 2 hurricanes has followed the path they plotted this far out. It has always turned off a bit. Noone in Florida is safe at the moment. The only good thing is that this storm is more the size of Charley, rather than Frances. The Damage will be limited to a much smaller area, albeit it much more damage.

I am looking for tomorrows forecast before I decide what to do.

MikeAI, You might have visitors in NO soon!

This is a little worse for Tampa, however still puts a BIG hurt on south Florida. Being on the east side of the storm is no fucking good!

My daughter lives in tampa
for charley they went east to merrit island, i guess near NASA

its non stop projected maps here on oprano
and here's the newest from weather.com

When I woke up my sprinklers were one. I killed the power to the pump so that they don't come on again for awhile. I figured my yard was not going to be in need of water for quite sometime.

:lol:

It used to be fairly nice out here in the desert (despite the blistering heat), but recently the neighborhood has kind of gone to shit... strange, property values were rising like mad but since last weekend a cloud of doom seems to have moved in.... any idea what could have caused that Gonzo?

:rolleyes:

Ivan is a monster.

I will be in New Orleans for the storm...... but I will be worried about my house and building.

Damn...

Now they have it dead on to Fort Myers again :huh:

Turn Ivan Turn

Ivan is a cat 5. path doesnt look like it will hit LA

For the next storm I'm going to tie myself to a tree and fight mother nature - I'm not going quietly into this good night nor am I hiding in my house and doing with out electric for a week! AGAIN!!!

Bring it on IVAN !!!

I really feel for those who already lost everything in Charley or Frances.

Those who lost it with Charley are just starting to get their lives in order... Looks like it's going right through there again.

I hope it misses Tampa, but I really feel for those it hits.

I understand that hurricanes are "a fact of life" in Florida, but I just wish folks had time to catch their breath and recover before the next one rolls in to town... this is quite a beating. Hope this one isn't as bad as it looks!

:zoinks:

we have to count a a weak Low, the weaker the Low, the farther WEST it will go

if its a strong Low, its going up the Southeast coast of FL AGAIN

I'm torn between not wanting it to hit FL again and not wanting it to hit the kid in MS either :(

all your religous opranauts
will god steer it?

Yes, God is saying ... "Four years ago Jeb and George rigged the election and I let it slide. Y'all try it again this year and I'll fuck Florida up! And I'm God, I can do it!"

drav :biglaugh:
it does seem awfully like this storm was made by a higher power to keep florida out of the election LOL

i'm sure the politicians wouldn't be above something like that if they were capable :rolleyes:

Governor Bush's is helping us by praying,
