yea it looks like the northern gulf coast states will be getting the storms this year. Sorry to say but I'm glad they are going somewhere other than central florida. It's still very very early in the season though so I could be biting my tongue in the next couple months

why?
...I'm gonna be honest, I dont really know "why" per ce...HOWEVER, I do know one thing, and that is why you should go to bed...because I ate an orange watermelon today and have never felt so confused in my life and in order to rid myself of this confusion I must boss some one around...so, I picked you.

I dont know where I got it from...cant remember. But I thought i bought a regular RED watermelon...Nope. After I cut it, I just sat there and stared at it...I actually pulled up a stool and started taking down notes as to how this could have possibly happened.
and yes, it makes me happy that you are going to bed...I feel empowered now...like a a babybooming female in her twenties.

I wish I could have purchased a generator. Whenever a miracle hits and we get to build our house, I'm gonna have one of those industrial autoswitch generators installed so I don't have to worry about the power going out

they were showing pics on the news of big metal polls in town that had snapped in 2 from the wind and we only got the outer bands of the storm here

Umm do you know if your garage door is certified as cane proof? If not, screwing it down won't matter as it'll start flying off piece by piece. You're in the zone man so hopefully your windows are boarded up. Don't forget that the reason roofs fly off is because a window breaks, causing the pressure to drop inside thus causing the roof to go.

Here's what a met who works at KSC said to do
Tell him that it's too late to evacuate and that conditions will become much worse within the next hour. He needs to have blankets, pillows, and a mattress (or two) ready in an interior room away from windows on the lowest level of his house. He should also have water and tools nearby this safe room, as well as a battery operated radio or NOAA Weather Radio, plus a flashlight.
A brick house that is boarded up should be able to withstand Dennis's worst, but garage door and possible partial roof failure seem possible. Treating the situation like a tornado would be the best course to take at this point.

Yeah, check in to let us know y'all are ok.
I can't believe we have to go through this shit again and hurricane seasons is just beginning.
I think they said Dennis is the strongest to his the coast this early in a hurricane season since they've been keeping records.
What's next?
