From my grandparents house I can see the beach and I am goign to take pics of it coming in then going back to my place 2 miles inland.

 

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Have you ever been through a hurricane? Things can change so fast and not to mention micro-burts and tornadoes. You are going to be one of those people that get killed by flying debree. Here's to a future Darwin Award recipient!

When Hanna hits Myrtle Beach, SC I will be here to witness it. I will be taking photos and videos to show yall after it is over. I am going to go to beach when it makes landfall to see it come in. YAY me. Good luck to me yall.

 

There WON'T be any beach! Ever hear of a little thing we call Storm Surge?

 

NO luckly got spared the worst of Gustav. If it was a couple of miles closer, the Industrial Canal would've been swamped.

Well If I die I will die being an idiot. It doesnt even look like it is going to hit Myrtle Beach head on now anyway.

 

Fixed.

 

You don't want to be on the beach when you see several feet of water come crashing in:

To be totally honest, your big butt won't be able to outrace this thing coming in, so stay home and away from the beach!

^Well I'll be on parole from my exercise program in October; I need to use my Universal Pass! We can always get the gang together for another gathering like the one last year!

 

But back on getting Miss "I'm going to be stupid and run out in the storm and hurt myself"... I hope that picture gets through to him that you don't want to be near the coast when a storm surge comes in. It won't be just water you'll have to deal with. Debris and possibly downed power lines are hazards you want to avoid. Go inland and be safe to ride a coaster another day!

I made it back to the area after going to Tallahassee for a few days. My house has power, cable, internet, and no damage to it. We did get a bit lucky that the storm didn't get much stronger in the gulf, but it was good to see that the levees held. Hopefully these storms still out there don't come this way.

Well, I'm guessing life slowly returns to normal in the Big Easy. I just got an email from one of the gay bars down there telling everyone they're reopening tomorrow at 5pm.

 

You know the gays need their cocktails!

 

What I want to know is how I ended up on their mailing list. I haven't even been down there since 1996!

Well Ike is a major Hurricane at 115. Its expected to be a 4 by tomorrow. It sure did blow up!

 

Its expected to go between Cuba and Florida or hit southern Florida then go into the Gulf.

 

Sounds similar to the track Katrina took. It went right over south FL.

 

It is now going at 135 MPH and is a category 4, whoever it hits is basically screwed. I REALLY hope it dies down my mom's already talking about evacuating.

If it evern looks like IKE is going to hit South Carolina I am leaving Myrtle Beach. There is no way I am staying for that monster. But I will be on the beach taking pics tomorrrow morning of the 20 foot waves coming in. They say it wont make landfall till Tomorrow night but It is coming str8 towards us. I will be safe taking pics from my grandparents house but before the storm hits I am going to my place inland. I do not care to drown.

^Please, for my own happiness, will you please just stand in the water? Seriously, all freaking night.

 

On to other news, working in the timeshare industry is not fun these days. We have 15 resorts up and down the east coast between Miami and Myrtle Beach. Our call center is being swamped with calls and I'm in the middle of helping senior management with implementing disaster recovery plans for several resorts, not to mention, our corporate office.

 

I really feel bad for our call center! They've recevied about 200% more calls today from people wanting to cancel their trips. To bad they will lose their week for the year. Vacation Insurance people, be prepared! [/rant]

Crap, Hannah's turning a little bit closer to Florida then they expected if it turns any more there's going to be no school tommorow (busses can't handle over 40 MPH in wind.) And as for Ike it's sustaining at a category 4 hurricane. Though its starting to fluxuate, I REALLY hope this dies down AND FAST because again whoever it hits is screwed.
