Oh sh!t ... Hurricane Ivan is projected to hit Florida. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

It is currently a category 5 hurricane packing 160 mph winds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Pretty soon Florida will be gone... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

We are devastated down here after TWO hurricanes in 3 weeks. Businesses are ruined, hundreds of thousands do not have electricity. Gasoline is in short supply.

Please keep us Floridians in your thoughts.

I saw a pic in my morning paper of "W" handing out a sack of flour. Will that help?
Seriously, we all wish you well. Sometimes we in the colder climes forget that there is a price for living where the weather is always warm.

Karl,

Hope you weather this next one. I have a brother between Miami and Tampa about 5 miles inland..i know what you are going through.

You should move to Indiana!..We need more teeners up here...plus, we only have tornadoes and snow storms!

damn, how many people had money on the Trifecta !?

you guys batten down and be careful.

somebody told me a while ago that there's a cost associated with everywhere you want to live.
with earthquakes, you keep your emergency preparedness supplies at the ready and you're done - there's none of this living in dread while you watch the weather closing in... i didn't like the tornado season when i lived in Illinois, and i know i'm not cut out for anywhere in the SouthEast.

it gets nippy up here in the winter, but i can dress for that; it gets humid in the summer but i can dehumidify for that (and IIRC, you're no stranger to humidity in FL...)

i saw the storm track a couple of minutes ago and it does look ominous. the climate does seem to be changing a bit, and the longterm projections i've seen suggest Atlantic storms will get worse before they get better...

I was just readin' about an "up cycle" for Florida & their hurricanes.....and I ain't talkin' college football (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The "down cycle" ran about 20-30 years. The up cycle is due to last about the same lenght of time. The good news is that the swamps won't be catching fire for a while.

The bad news is that the down cycle lured a pee pot fulla' people to the area with attendant development. Now what are they gonna do? Were it me, I'd pick up my double wide and move it to Arizona.

I feel for youz guys, but that don't help ya a bit. All I have to worry about is earthquakes, volcanos, & old age (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Qarl must be the only one with Connectivity and power. Because I haven't sen the remainder of the Florida boys on the board since last week.

I fired up my Generator on Monday just in case Mississippi sucks as bad Florida. Not sure if that is possible.

Karl I hope you and the family are able to weather the storm. It is I am sure no great pleasure to be in your new home and wonder if it will be standing after Ivan rips through the neighborhood.

I sold a home on the Island of Nevis, located near Genada, many years ago. Right now I am glad I don't have that to worry about, instead I will keep you in thoughts and prayers.
Take car.

I got a bad feeling about this one. It's coming UP the peninsula, so nowhere to run unless you leave the state.

We got lucky with the last 2 but now our luck may have run.

We are just getting the remnants of Francis up here now.
Heavy rain warnings and a delay of the Canadian Open are the worst of it at this point.

Good Luck down there.

Maybe if we all strip neked and dance aroung a fire to beating drums, it will change it's path. I nominate MikeZ, Aaron, Howard and Miles to do the honors.

Be safe - RUN AWAY - and don't look back!
