Look Out Sclorch!

Brother Sclorch is right in the path of the two hurricanes slamming Florida and will proabably have to evacuate due to threat of extreme flooding. Let's wish him (and others in that area) well.

They should tell all big business men that at the centre of the hurricane is lots of money, but they have to swim to it.

How nice to see this here! My home is in the path as well! I'm visiting relatives up north now so I'm not there but my hubby is and my stomach is in knots. I've been in bad ones and know what they can do. It's a fucked uped experience to be in the aftermath of one of those things-humbling too.
Thanks for the well wishes!

Thanks for the nice hug!

I went through hurricane Ewa in Hawaii in 1982...they are a real bitch. The best of luck to any of our Floridians.

I went through the legendary Camille. When she hit us she was packing sustained winds of 200 mph with gusts up to 231 mph. Her eye was 40 miles in diameter with the lowest ever recorded pressure. It passed right over my hometown and we had a few minutes of peace before her bottom half slammed us. My father was in the National Guard at the time and his unit was sent to help clean up. He spent a few days taking bodies out of the trees. She devastated this area of the country and her impact is still felt today. I feel for those going though this or any hurricane, but they are pikers compared to Camille.

hurricanes have made my family a lot of money.
build your house on the beach, wait for the hurricane to knock it down, collect insurance money, build two more houses. Pass go and collect $200.

Here in NZ when people say 'piker' it means someone who isn't very active / they are lazy. Like if theres a party and someone decideds to go to bed early someone might say 'Aah, ya bloody piker!'

Around these parts "piker" just means "small or undersized". Once you've lived through the most powerful hurricane on record to hit North America you are not easily impressed or awestruck.

I figured I'd revive this thread considering Category 4 Frances is heading this way.
I was at one of the mega home improvement stores yesterday buying supplies in preparation for the storm. It was surreal buying things other than desiccant, canning jars, and vermiculite (mushroom cultivation supplies) for a change.
I was here (South Florida) during Andrew and I'm not looking forward to encountering Frances. At least Andrew was male. Hell hath no fury...

Headed... the damn thing is here! Of course, with Gaston dumping a little bit of rain on the Carolinas, nobody even knows about Frances... typical media.

I noticed this too...
Well, in another 24 hours when Gaston's effects have dissipated, the media will fill the void with Frances headlines.
