Heads Up Eastern Seaboard -- Hurricane Frances

[chequita guevara]

Even its most northern track right now has it going well to the South of us. It is, however, a very large storm, so we'll feel it no matter where it lands.

It's only a Cat. 2 now. You guys will be fine.

Drake not to flame you but to share with you

several weeks ago a TROPICAL STORM (before Charley) came through here and killed several..spawned a deadly Tornado..

While I understand your purpose..I have been through 6 CAT 2's and tell ya they still cause damage..

CAT 2 that far away will of course lessen the effects to Che...

Peace

An analogy that goes along with GT's reply:

A penny dropped off the Empire State Building will kill a guy as good as a piano will.

[Drake Tungsten]

You guys are wimps. I don't even get off work for typhoons here...

[Grandpa Troll]

Being Prudent is not being a wimp...however

I will say this, that if you are under a Typhoon warning (I am assuming a Typhoon is a Pacific version of an Atlantic Hurricane) then your boss is a weinie and very insensitive and has no concern for life or family.....


I have seen personally and been through personally too many Hurricanes..THEY DO CAUSE PAIN AND LOSS OF LIFE

I will say this I am all man and the older I get the more I feel less of an urge to prove it

But..Please never take a Hurricane lightly...Please

Nah, Japanese people are just desensitized to danger. I guess it comes with living in the world's most volcanically active country, a country battered by typhoons and having an earthquake every 5 minutes.

Anything? Che? Bnygrl? Grandpa Troll?

Bunnygrrl's still in Chicago, so she'll even miss the party with Ivan, should he decide to stop in. On the Doppler radar, the rain looks like it's coming nowhere near me. It is windy though. My windows are rattling already. In St. Augustine, 30 miles from here, they're reporting gusts up to 42 mph.

I would remind folks that even though Bonnie came nowhere near Jax, she did spawn a tornado here. Just cuz we seem to be avoiding the storm doesn't mean we're out of danger yet.

Watching the clouds scud across the sky was fun though. They're really moving.

I might wanna rethink the moving away from Jacksonville thing, since Jax seems to be missed by all the storms.

You just love tempting fate, don't you.

That thing's turned into a water conveyer belt -- pick up water over ocean, go over land, dump water, go back over ocean -- wash, rinse, repeat.

[Drake Tungsten]

You could always be here. Just had a big earthquake and the third typhoon in a month is on the way...

[The Mad Monk]

Sorry, earthquakes ain't my bag.
