Hmm....

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

CRAP!!! I am in Va.

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah, this blows...................

[Howlin]

I was really surprised when I took at look at the WRAL pages today!

[Coachm]

IVAN will be back as well.

[mattdono]

[NautiNurse]

Ivan's leftovers visited here yesterday through last night.

[Howlin]

The storm that won't die!

[MinuteGal]

General MacArthur will be back, also.

Can we request "Jean" be changed to "Hillary!"? :-)

[b4its2late]

Make that "Jeanne" to "Hillary!"

[7.62 x 51mm]

We sure don't need anymore water up here in the Susquehanna Valley (PA); we're just getting dried out from Ivan's 4" on Friday.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Can we request "Jean" be changed to "Hillary!"? :-)

Trying to delay its U.S. strike until 2008?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Can we request "Jean" be changed to "Hillary!"? :-)

Be careful, the DNC may just want to do that with "Jean" Kerry.

[nyconse]

Darn, I am in Georgia...we already had a mess after Ivan. Kids were dismissed early last Thursday and off Friday.

Jeanne killed 600 or more in Haiti. The ghost of Ivan is headed for Texas. This is a crazy year for big storms.

Duck & Cover - it's coming your way.

[bitty]

They are telling us in South Carolina. That it will hit between Myrtle Beach and the outer banks of North Carolina.

[snakeoil]

pity the Carolinas but if it hits Florida this place is going to become one giant insane asylum.

Lord have mercy.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Here in the northern panhandle of WV the kids are still out of schools, some roads just aren't there anymore and the schools are being used as shelters. We were fortunate, our house sits on a slight incline...our neighbors were devastated.

[jbwbubba]

They also said that Jean was going out to sea after saying it would hit Florida. Of course they said that Ivan would hit the keys before it went the other way. They don't know yet

Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas...

10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows)
9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last
season (camping gear, flashlights, etc.)
8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores
7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials"
6. Family coming to stay with you
5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling
4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities
3. Days off from work
2. Candles

And the number one reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas....

1. At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house.

[Mamzelle]

Y'oughtta try 11" from Frances and 9" from Ivan...rural mountainous south...

[Chad Fairbanks]

What do you mean "going to become"? I lived there in the 80s, and it sure felt like a giant insane asylum to me LOL

[Chemist_Geek]

Sufficient supply of stuff for Harpoon 4/Command at Sea - check.

I thought they cancelled Harpoon 4. Is it on?!?!

[marvlus]

IVAN will be back as well.

Will he take on Jeanne?

[hchutch]

The computer version was cancelled, but the miniatures (going strong since 1996). Uses counters, dice, etc.

Its like she said 'Doh' I forgot to hit NC. They haven't been hit this year guys, I'll do the dirty work.

[kitkat]

Your tag line:
(Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan...painting curtains on the boarded windows)

LOL!

[Corin Stormhands]

Y'oughtta try 11" from Frances and 9" from Ivan...rural mountainous south...

Or 14 from "tropical depression Gaston"...downtown Richmond...

[NautiNurse]

Your tag line: (Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan...painting curtains on the boarded windows)

Just in case you thought I was joking...

[Chemist_Geek]

I used to play, Version 3 I guess, of the counter dice game back in undergrad.

The computer games weren't too bad, but the enemy AI was terrible.

snip.......
Meanwhile, Hurricane Jeanne, several hundred miles east of the Bahamas, is becoming more worrisome. Jeanne is migrating toward the south now, but a large high pressure ridge building north of the storm may drive it west, back toward the southeast coast of the U. S. over the next several days. Come the weekend, residents from the Carolinas to northeast Florida may be glued their TV sets, watching The Weather Channel... again.

[Howlin]

Actually the Accuweather guy and my WRAL weather guy predicted just this path last week.

[Howlin]

Wow....just wow. Hope you made out okay.

[Howlin]

So far this year, I think every one of them has hit somewhere in NC, right?

[Howlin]

Purdy!

Those are going to look great with Christmas lights!

[MeekOneGOP]

Whoops! Heading right for N.C. from that tracker, so it appears.

Better duck, Howlin !

Twinkies?

Mountain Dew Pitch Black - check.
Mountain Dew Live Wire - check.
Mountain Dew Code Red - check.
Mountain Dew (regular variety) - check.

Good thing Jeanne's not in town yet. Cross-checking your supplies list, you're not fully prepared.

There's a new Dew in town...

[donozark]

Not trying to be funny here, merely pointing out the contrasting weather conditions...I was out in the field early this morning. Kicked the dirt, a mini-dust devil formed and blew away. No rain in a month. Sept. has been hotter than August! Very windy. Almost Arizona-like.

The Susq. River is notorious for flooding. Don't be afraid to head for high-ground if it starts to overflow it's banks!

[Strategerist]

Actually the Accuweather guy and my WRAL weather guy predicted just this path last week.

Based on AccuBlunder's forecast for Jeanne last week Jeanne should be in the Gulf of Mexico already.

[Constitution Day]

Jeez!!

Maybe when we move, I can build a freakin' bomb shelter.
