Dude, I hope you make it through it okay. How did the WRX fair from Charlie?
|
My mom lives northwest of Ocala and completely dodged the Charley bullet a few weeks ago. Frances is still 5 days off, so who knows where it'll go. By the weekend it could be in Maine.
|
the wrx stayed in the garage
yea ocala got lucky,, i might head that way if it comes through, my grand father is retired there, |
I hope that Frances hits Beaufort, SC Head on!!!! I've wanted to be in a Hurricane forever!!! Plus, if the base has to evacuate, I already have my name on the list as a volunteer to stay and stand out at the front gate with M-16 and all and guard the base :):) :cool:
|
Yeah, Ocala got jipped when it came to Charlie. We didn't get any of it, we barely even got the rain. I haven't even heard anything about this hurricane, but then again i haven't really been watching the news.

The projected path has been jumping all over today. The weather guys at work run 5 different models, and they disagree on landfall - all the way from Miami to Charleston.
However, three of the models currently show it making land fall in my county....things are getting crazy here - no batteries in the stores, Wally World has sold out of bottled water (and they got an extra big shipment), had to go to three gas stations to put gas in my car - first two were sold out of all three grades. see attached for the current expected track. edit: I put a little red dot over my town on the map. |

Tonite we try to get off an Atlas launch carrying a NRO satellite, then start buttoning up. Currently expecting a mandatory evacuation order of the barrier island. Guess where I live - all of 8.57 feet above sea level - and a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane has a storm surge of what 12-18 feet (I live 4 blocks off the beach).
see attached - X marks the spot - anywhere in red is expected to get hit by a wall of water even at Cat 3. |
my parents live in Orlando and got hit pretty good - their screened-in rear patio is gone, and they have the roof temporarily patched. they had water coming in every room. that sucks, i feel for you guys.
you are always welcome to move to Pittsburgh - SVX Capital of the World! :D no hurricanes, earthquakes, or tidal waves. we get snow, but that's fun with AWD! |
I took Lee's stormplot1.jpg and put a black mark of where I am,
here in Jacksonville. http://www.nsm.nu/storm.jpg And of course, the red dot is where lee is. Im asking any god fearing person on this board to please pray for us! Were going to need it! |
