Well, my area is, once again, in danger of a hurricane, though this one not as bad -- it's a Tropical Storm right now, and the maximum it should intensify to would be a Cat. 1 Hurricane. It's possible that my power won't go out, but it's not what I'm expecting. Crossing my fingers though!

Hope everything turns out alright!

I'm not too scared. Cat 1 hurricaine isn't a big deal. I just can't wait until it goes away so that people in my area will stop talking about it:P

Yeah, I survived Hurricane Alisha in 1983 and that was a strong Cat 2.

it's coming my way too, on the west coast

Frightwolf · « **Reply #7 on:** August 25, 2005, 09:57:01 PM »

I survived Frances and Jeanne, so this is nothing.

I saw the latest update, and it's hitting Ft. Lauderdale. Weather Channel is overdramatizing it and saying, "OMG West Palm is getting winds up to 50 MPH!" LoL! So what? That is nothing. I might lose power, which sucks, but this is such a joke -- I can't believe the canned goods and water at my store were sold out -_-

Better safe than sorry, I always say. But good thing you're getting tropical storm force winds.

It's pretty scary what might happen to New Orleans. A few days ago it was only a Cat 1.

Wordno · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2005, 07:10:19 PM »

I know I just saw the news and found out that its a cat 5 now. Thats insane! Florida lucked out, I hope everything goes okay for the people in New Orleans.

Oh yea, that thing is a huge freaking buzzsaw now -- it's scary. We lucked out big time.

My great-aunt lives there and she's not leaving. I worry about her.

It's cat.5 now... Let's hope that there wont be a cathastrophe... I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of you over there.

Paulsluv · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2005, 05:43:15 PM »

It's now a Cat 2 with winds of 105 mph.

Frightwolf · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2005, 09:05:55 PM »

Now it's a Cat. 1 with 95 MPH, so it's nothing too big of a concern. Dunno how close your great-aunt lived to the coast, though.

She lives in Jefferson, LA.
