homes destroyed, lives fucked around with in general...

Typically, the only people that think hurricanes are fun are the ones that have never actually been through one. And no, the tropical storm outer fringes dont count as being thru one. And neither does having the rainstorm that used to be a hurricane.

my thinking exactly i lived in florida when andrew went across the state. it aint no walk in the park. price you pay for living on the coast. mostly its great but it certianly has its down side. been there done that...good luck to all who are in its path. the storm is bad enough but its worse after. no eletric..maybe no water. trees down everywhere so its tough to get around. flooding..tornadoes. you can tell whos actually been there and who has'nt.

This is a bigger Hurricane

Stand back...there's a HURRICANE coming through!

rofl. Man, u guys really do have sense's of humor in such bad times.

You got to, man, or you'll end up being a basketcase.

This isn't even going to be a serious hurricane. Yeah, it's big, but the winds aren't even going to top 100 miles per hour. If you live in a hurricane prone area (which I do) there are hurricane codes required for houses. Any house built is required to be able to withstand constant winds of 90 miles per hour, but a larger or well-built house will withstand more than that, minus a few shingles. Trailor parks? Should've just got an apartment, IMO. They're SOL. Anyway, I've been through Hugo and a few smaller ones, as well as the two Nor'easters that ran into each other over VA Beach, which was determined to have been worse than some hurricane that rammed through the area.

^^ True, but you also have flooding, downed trees and power outages. Not to mention that any houses built before the 90's probably didnt have to meet the new codes. Add to that all the flying debris that will easily take out a window if it isnt boarded up. And you probably know this since you live in a hurricane prone area, most roofs lost in a hurricane happen after a window is blown out and pressure builds up inside the house. I'm not saying you cant ride one out, I am only saying that I dont find it very fun. Sure you can have a hurricane party, but a hangover in a hot, dark house sucks. And you can hardly fault people for being poor. Someone's got to wait tables and answer phones.

Anyway, good luck, I hope things turn out ok.

That shit happens every day....Yeah it's sad. But it happens. You can't be sad every day.

And again - Good Luck to everyone in the areas prone, hope you make it safely through.

We get hit by that fuckin thing thrusday.

I get hit by it on friday... Kinda depends on if it turns a little east or west. I want it to hit though cause I got a video shoot that lots of mud would help get me an A on. Plus really now. 100+ mph winds aint nothing. MY state has the fastest recorded windspeeds. we can handle it evil:

i think i should read the news more cause i didnt know there was a hurricane

That is hands down a frightening picture. Still nothing compared to what happens in the rest of the world.

[sarcasm]Ahh, that's nothing![/sarcasm]

The wind is literally howling by my house from the storm. Nothing yet except some blown down branches, and my doormat is missing. cry:
