I guess this is proof of an active year. I was at Sam's club today and everyone had a generator. I guess nobody here is taking it lightly.

You don't know that HALF of it! I'm driving from Raleigh to Texas right now, and am SMACK in the middle of that swath! I dodged all four hurricanes last year. Drove through TWO of them. Oh, and to add insult to injury, this POS storm is named after my ex-wife! Don't mind me! I'm the Hurricane God!

I am sitting here right now in the Alachua County Emergency Operations Center in Gainesville. The good news is that this time, it looks like we get to miss the real nasty stuff, but everyone sure is taking things pretty seriously right now! We are a level 3 activation (basically, a wait and watch mode). Here is our EOC webcam: Alachua County EOC |
Thanks, Man. I am digging the due North track right now. This thing goes East of us and we are good to go. Your parents squared away? Even if we got it hard the big problem will be our low areas, Mag Springs, Fish River, BonSecour and the like. Orange beach will be good to go inland... We'll see! |
| I havn`t fully recovered from Ivan yet lol. If i ever have to replace my roof & ceilings again i`m going to be pissed. ( I shouldn`t complain some lost everything, including their lives) Doubt it will be anything like Ivan but should be a good storm, and you never know who is going to get the tornados it throws off.. |
Good and holy fuck!

All secure here. I also had to take care of my folks house this morning. They're out of town. I don't think it's going to get very bad here in Ft. Walton. Good luck everyone.

Work just called. We start disaster assessment of all government property in the panhandle (travel trailers and mobile homes). At least it is overtime  . I tried getting a shoot together last fall, but Hurricane Ivan blew that idea out of the water. I am game for a get together in the near future.
