Thought a thread in Breaking News for the weekend covering Hurricane Jeanne would be a good thing. Post your link, pics, updates and freeper check-in's here

[Carolinamom]

Praying for all of you in Jeanne's path. BTW isn't her name French? LOL

[CedarDave]

Do you have a live streaming link to Channel 9 Orlando? Their web page says they will be streaming live at 7 p.m. but hasn't given a link yet.

There is one supposedly south of Christmas, which is between Orlando and the Cape.


I just recalled, the other day was the Fall Equinox, so that alone will cause higher tides, so this will really make for high waters.

I will be safe (maybe) as I am in Ohio

B-eeline -
those that could left yesterday! you would not even want to be caught on that road by Jeanne - Mean Jeanne

[DollyCali]

okay.. now a question to answer why one goes to this type of thread rather than just follow the weather sites.

when I lived in Fla & NC coastal areas when hurricanes were approaching there always seemed to be arrogant surfers out.

are there now?

I can see them with tattoos on their chests: I Am Stupid.

Tattooed on back : I will vote for Kerry if I live

Full moon coming also, pulls those tides big time.

[MindBender26]

I have to go there at about 0300 EDT. Will get link and post.

Read this week that Cyprus Gardens was going to reopen soon. T wonder if after Jeanne they wiill weather the storm financially.
Tourism is really going to be hit with this one. Sea World and Disney are on the wrong side of the storm I think.
Tampa - all planes cancelled until 5 tomorrow.
Down here in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda we will get a brushing. (fingers crossed).
The overtime pay for the police, firemen etc will really bust the budgets this year. Not to worry, the Legislature has spent the reserves so they wouldn't have to raise taxes. Down here in Charltte County the gov't buildings were underinsured.

They'll still be voting for Kerry if they die.

This may have been mentioned before, but is there a real-time Internet stream covering Jeanne from Florida or major weather channel?

Love the graphic--hmmmmm, come to think of it I don't remember hearing any ravings from the whako environmentalists about how many trees y'all have used for the plywood decor!

[FlJoePa]

Starting to blow like heck here in Juno Beach (Jupiter)...gusts must be 70+. Somehow power and cable are still on. Hope I didn't just jinx myself.

[DollyCali]

drat 666 post. Omen?

[DollyCali]

stay safe. God speed.

[luvie]

Because the weather sites just talk dramatic drivel but here you read in real time real people who are living this new wet hell?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Thanks for picture, I'm on the Palm Beach/Broward county line, right where all that nasty-looking yellow was when that picture was taken.

Remeber when the eye is over you the hurricane is only half over.
Stay cool and stay safe. Do you have a generator.
Air condition will be off- use a bucket of cold water and soak your feet. It cools the blood and the body.

[DollyCali]

unfortunately true

"Remeber when the eye is over you the hurricane is only half over. Stay cool and stay safe. Do you have a generator. Air condition will be off- use a bucket of cold water and soak your feet. It cools the blood and the body." Thanks. I've been through this before (like 3 weeks ago). I had 2 hours of eye during Frances. No generator, but I do have an inverter to run small appliances off my car battery.
