Gustav: Category Three

[rayboyusmc]

It looks like it is still headed toward NO. Having gone through Wilma here in South Florida, one in my life time is all I need.

Hope they did the levees etc better than the news reports report.

Now, Hanna, is looking at the US also.

Good site if you are a tracker or in the zone.

Hey, I didn't know you were in SoFL...I'm in Ft. Lauderdale.

It's turning out to be an interesting hurricane season.

You live in lauderdale? Have short stack at the Floridian for me.

Good Luck with Hannah as well..

The Floridian is the only place I can get real Virginia "salty" ham and red eye gravy with the grits.

Interesting ambience also. I bet they are are all closet Republicans.

That explains a lot. You must be an old lady.

I was in hurricane "Ivan" when it hit Pensacola, Florida. That was enough for me. I moved a few months later back to Texas.

Went through Hugo in charleston. Had to leave our house during the eye after it was demolished... I evacuate now...

heh. I'm curious, RGS, have you ever made it an entire 24 hours without making a bigoted remark?

I can answer that for him. No, no, no.

We need to rename him. GOF (Grumpy Old Fart) ... seems to fit him better, no?

Absolutely.

Don't f*** with Mother Nature. If she can demolish bridges like lego pieces, she sure as hell can wipe us out like squashing a bug.

Earth to retired. This isn't a political thread. You don't have to be an blowhole.

I went through a Cyclone on Okinawa. We had to stay in our quarters so we just bought out the Package Store prior to it landing. I really don't remember much about that storm.

I think the gulf states are better prepared for this one. I hope so. I was just out in the gulf and the water temps are ranging from 85 to 90 degrees. Once Gustaf hits those types of temps he could turn into a Cat 5 bruiser.

That is probably an insult to GOFs.

RGS was just proving Gunny's point about trolls, I guess he just can't help himself.

One definition of a troll that I have not seen covered is a person or persons who follow and individual or individuals around a message board harrassing the former's every word.

Thousands evacuate New Orleans area in advance of Hurricane Gustav - Los Angeles Times

I wish them, and each of you in the path of the hurricane, my best. It is so good to see that action is being taken 'early" this time.

Prayers for each of you.

I have friends from Southern Louisiana who were supposed to go home this weekend. I'm glad they didn't. They said their families have already been evacuated.

Nothing more needs to be added to this one, and I won't.
