Hurricane Ivan

Recommended Posts

The track I saw this morning changed Ivan from going into the Gulf to going over FL again. It's not looking good. B|

I also heard on the radio this morning that he/it is now a cat 5 hurricane.

Hold on down there. Hold on tight. [:/]

For the record, I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT!!!!, they just named the hurricane after me. :):P


I don't know about that, the chaser planes have picked up strange transmissions from the storm that may be post whoring;)
I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

I saw it too. Central FL has taken a beating this year. Not good at all.



I just talked to a friend in Deland. He said he's supposed to get power back around Tuesday. That's when Ivan might be here again. I feel so sorry for the people in that area.

Sorry to make light of the destruction. I know several people in Florida and they are taking a beating.

But anyway.....Damned weather, I guess my Vector will take even longer to get now [:/]

Just had to throw that in there for VectorMark and Egon. Of course by the time they get power again, it will be burried in the posts.

I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

Edit to add: By the way, this hurricane season has sucked ass. Global warming, possibly?



Hurricane seasons seem to have cycles too - 25 'good years' followed by 25 'bad years'. We're about 8 - 10 years into the "bad 25 years" ... something about strong/weak thermohaline circulation.

You know hurricanes used to only be given female names? The names for this year:
Alex
Bonnie
Charley
Danielle
Earl
Frances
Gaston
Hermine
Ivan
Jeanne
Karl
Lisa
Matthew
Nicole
Otto
Paula
Richard
Shary
Tomas
Virginie
Walter

And there's your useless bit of hurricane trivia.
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I just hope the MREs and wind up radio/light I ordered get to me before it hits.

I got so sick of canned salmon and tuna during Frances and I forgot to buy a battery powered radio before it hit. I ended up putting my clock radio on my computer's UPS supply so I could hear the emergency reports.

According to the British Parachute Association it's cleared to do 15 second delays ;)

From the BPA operations manual:

Category 5

Has demonstrated the ability to perform two consecutive stable delayed openings of ten seconds, maintaining a heading and counting throughout.

I'm new to FL. Is it normally this bad?



No! I don't think the same area has ever been hit by hurricanes 3 times in 6 weeks before. Usually they go off in other directions and one will hit us, one the Carolinas, one in Texas, etc. This is really weird.

Man! I can't believe people actually choose to live in FL. When we get bad weather here, at least we don't have to leave our homes.



I hate living in FL but I want to raise my kids around family members and I can't get them to move!
