Did you not realize that's what he meant?

Florida is like an elephant graveyard, except for Jews.

And Quebecers.

From the map you provided in the OP Che, it looks like you have nothing to worry about.

Unless it changes course (there, I jinxed it).

It will change course, but it's too early to say which way.

BAH -- just because you have had first-hand experience with hurricanes, and I live inland, doesn't make you more knowledgeable about hurricanes.

But I've never been to that place...


Oh wait, you wasn't talking about me

Anyone fancy a wager?

What odds on Che's house being flattened?

If that post means what I think it does.. then that's incredible. Highly unusual.

So now I just need to figure out what the "D" stands for, I think.

[Agathon]

Che, stop being an attention whore. That storm looks like it will flatten Cuba and leave you be.

[chequita guevara]

D = tropical depression, basically a strong collection of thunderstorms. They can stregnthen in to tropical storms, which can in turn become hurricanes. Adrian is expected to become a hurricane tomorrow. Crossing over Central Amerian should knock it apart, but who knows.

Aggie, not one of those hurricanes were originally supposed to come near me last year. Three of them did. One of them even hit Florida, dissipated, came back down as a thunder storm and turned back into a hurricane and hit Texas. After last year, I don't make any assumptions where the damn things are gonna go.

Thanks chegitz guevara, but that wasn't the "D" I was after. Not easy for you to know, but I was trying to poke a little fun at Adagio here (formerly ADG), I probably should have it more clear that I was responding to him.

[chequita guevara]

Okay, I don't have a clue what Adagio meant.

[Winston]

I think he was trying to tell us that his name is Adrian, which, as I noted, would be most unusual for a Danish guy, especially of his age.

Now I believe he revealed his last name as well at one time, albeit in a very convoluted way, hinting at its meaning if it were pronounced in German. Long story... but I just tried to tease him a little by suggesting I was on to him, and that I only needed to figure out his middle name.

So, Che, what's the procedure for riding out a hurricane? I may as well try to learn this now...

[chequita guevara]

Driving to Nebraska.

If you have a car, you do not try and ride out a hurricane. You get the **** out. Only stupid people stay if they can get out. I'm not being flip.

The only people with a valid reason for staying are emergency personal, reporters , those too sick or feeble to move, and those who don't have other means to escape (like me).

Generally speaking, if you have to stay, go to a shelter, don't stay in your building. You never know if your contractor cheated you on building strength. Also, microbursts can flatten many otherwise study buildings. You cannot take pets with you to most shelters, except for assistance animals, though there are shelters that take them.

Don't go near the water, that means rivers and lakes also. Flooding is what kills, not wind.

Here's a list of supplies if you must stay at home.

Sounds like a plan to me. Simple too.

What about lesser storms?
