JinVA Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Doesn't look to good right now, but these storms are very unpredictable and could head up north at anytime, anyhow be prepared and keep your fingers crossed I din't wish hurricanes on anyone. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well today I'm turning my house into the bunker. Shutters going up, potential projectiles being brought in. Personally I'd have preferred a blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Boy, Tatonka12, if Francis stays the course, you could be close to ground zero, maybe on the southwest side which is a lilttle better than on the northeast side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, usual start-up procedures for hw heater etc. apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 don't know who is saying NC, but right now it looks like landfall is going to be more north that they thought thwo days ago... and two days ago, landfall was my backyard... now, it seems closer to datona. This is a projection from an hour ago.. http://sirocco.accuweather.com/adc_hurr_im...4/af/UHAF_2.GIF good luck to all just what i didnt want for my three day weekend.

envirojeff Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I wish that I was coming up now. I think I'm going to use what's left of my privacy fence to cover my windows. No plywood left in the state. Jeff Good Luck Jeff. Are you heading up for the Bills game next week? 14193[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I talked to my Mom in Port St. Lucie this morning, she told me she's probably going to get out of the house and staying in shelter tomorrow. I told her she should just come up the NC and make a Labor Day weekend vacation out of it. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 now that i think about it... i should probably actually consider buying a flashlight and batteries and some bottled water, huh? hmmm... I swear on everything sacred, if it comes through here crushes us, and i lose power like those folks did in the last one, and it stays out until Sunday, I you will see me, unshowered, unshaven, with my dog at some sports bar in Alabama if that's what it takes to see the Bills next sunday.

envirojeff Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was too, but what we got from Charley scared me shitless! (Oops sorry Steve) I think it was a warning shot that was heeded very well. I can't go anyware so the envirojeff fam will be riding it out. Do your self a favor - duck and cover and good luck everyone! This thing is already a 5.0 hurricane. Jeff tommorrow seems a bit early for a shelter, no? (I dont know, Im a hurricane rookie).

Just got back from around Home Depot, the place is packed. Luckily I didn't have to go there. Best investment I ever made was storm panels a couple yrs ago. Guess I'll be putting them up this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
