Why is everything always either "the size of texas" or "the size of rhode island"???
Just this morning an old man told me that an asteroid called the potato, "the size of texas" was going to hit us in 2080.

feel sorry for the folks in florida, but i hope it doesn't make it's way up to north carolina - it's been a busy hurricane season already, and september is usually the worst month!

My dad left for okrakoke island, outer banks NC on sunday. Accessible only by ferry boat.
He always books for hurricane season in order to save money.

It's really that big? That's one huge storm system.
You just stay up high, honey. And let's hope your phone lines stay intact and dry.
(I'm waiting for the drugs to kick in so I can fall asleep... finally. But it was a fun and informative lunch date.)

Re: Re: Hurricane Frances
Hugo hit Charlotte in 1989. So many trees got knocked over power was out everywhere. My brother was living on the same street with the president of Duke power. The Duke guy vowed that his neighborhood would be the last to get power. They were in the dark for weeks. He is still pissed about it I think.
This is a big one.

Re: Re: Re: Hurricane Frances
It wasn't the last time a bitch named Frances rolled through in 1996.WriterDom said:
He had every right to be pissed. i lived in Raleigh for Frances in 1996. The winds barely topped hurricane level by the time they hit us. (Granted, i'd been run over by Opal with 90mph winds living in LA less than a year before.) Still took 17 days to get power back. Only in the US would they continue to put power lines up on poles much less plant and let the trees grow above them. Never mind coastal states get clobbered by hurricanes, northern states have regular ice storms, and we have roughly one third of the US called tornado alley.WriterDom said:

Maybe they should stop naming them Frances?
All sillyness aside, hope you folks are doing okay down there. Especially in Florida since you all got smacked bigtime with Charley a few weeks ago.

CNN: Frances is the size of Texas -- more than twice as large as Hurricane Charley, which hit Florida's western coast three weeks ago.WriterDom said:

Latest reports are it is slowing down, and the wind force is now about a category 2. But, that is still about 215 mph winds.
What they say is the most possible result is because the storm is slowing down, it could dump 20-25 inches of rain on Florida. Something nobody needs. That could cause some of Florida's flat lands to end up under water.
Oh, by the way...my cock is the size of Texas. Shit, saying it was the size of Rhode Island would still be saying something

Frances already rained on my weekend plans. The traffic from Floridians evacuating added to normal holiday-weekend-traffic resulted in a 2 hour drive from work yesterday. I was supposed to be packing and going to Tn for the weekend. Didn't happen.
I talked to my family and they said that the traffic was basically bumper to bumper all the way there. I'm not tortuting myself that way if i don't have to.
Wasn't it Alberto that came ashore and just settled over South Georgia and stayed there for a month? Sounds like what Frances might do.

Yeah, they're already warning us to expect some heavy rain soon because of it. But the last I heard, it might still be a powerful hurricane when it hits your area. I'm outdated on this info, however.

I heard it was bigger than Manitoba and iit could anyday be larger than Ontario, but as I see now it has hit land right now and am currently watching the storm on a webcam. It doesn't look too strong - just lots or rain right now. The webcam I'm watching off of now is just north of Miami.

Geezzz, you know, I never thought about that.FungiUg said:
Texas isn't that big. It's just those texans like to talk like they are doing everything larger than life. The rest of the U. S. lets them, so they stay down there in Texas. Onry critters, they are.
Those hats they wear? My aunt has a bigger one. She got it in Maine, of all places. That's just a bit larger than Rhode Island.
Those BBQs they have? There's a place here in town that advertises Texas burritos. Trust me, they ain't very big.
The size of the state itself? It's all done with mirrors, folks. Really.

My dad left Miami before the storm and wound up at his brother's home in Sarasota. So far so good. Anybody else notice Ivan following a similar path?

I'm in Tallahassee and it appears to have pissed itself out before it got here. The eye is crossing now. Schools are still closed tomorrow so people can turn the shelters back into schools. Ivan should be north of Cuba by Saturday. Been a busy season. November is still a long way off.

No School Today!!!!!!
There was no power at my school when i got there this morning and about 15 minutes later the principal came in and said we were closed for the day.
There were power lines and trees down in a couple of places as i drove to work and even more as i returned home.
Interestingly, the bridge near my house that normally floods when it rains was clear.
WD are you underwater yet?
