Thats why I live on the back side of the island and on the 2nd floor. And if it gets really bad, I'll just jump in my kayak and ride it out. Its a 2 seater, any takers? :icon_smil


Hmm ... with you in the kayak, too? I'll take my chances ;)

I'm more concerned about the rest of the crap churning in the Atlantic:

Oh that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.
 
And I was trying to make a reference to Super Troopers that you apparently didn't pick up on.
 
I gotta give it to the Navy and their ability to place bases directly in the path of hurricanes

One of the sim instructors was talking about this today at Meridian. How Pensacola has supposedly spent the 30 of the last 40 years with ungodly near misses from hurricanes, and the last 10 getting schwacked by last-minute direct hits . . .
 
If you can call a ball of wind and water the size of Ohio "cute . . ."
 
Well, personally I liken it to a rapidly spinning disk more than a ball, but then again, I have a sick fascination with things that move in a circular fashion... and the faster the better:

* Turbines
* Props
* Tornados
* Hurricanes
* The vortex of water that happens when you drain your tub
* Etc.

:D

Hooray for weather forecasters. Dairy mentioned UKMET and one of the other big ones forecasts being pretty right on once they are al in sync. Check the picture out here:

NOGAPS should be the Navy's prediction - and is usually pretty right on (according to my sister - phd in this environmental stuff). BUT the good news from this picture is that everyone is predicting it go farther south from Texas than they did yesterday. Promising! But no gaurantees, still .... today I get to sort out what I would evacuate with ;)
