I'm putting my shutters up today.
Mr.Nobody said:Yes, its always fun to see your pool screen fly away. Lets hope that's all that gives way to Frances.
My chainsaw is still broke and there is still yard trash from Charley at curbside.
No more. Now I learned to take the screens out.

Good luck to you all
Have a look at this projected forecast, pretty scary stuff (watch FL at the end): http://www.junglephotography.com/work/at_ir_loop_640x480.gif
I'll be here in the desert of las vegas sweating in 115F temps

This fucking sucks! And this is my first hurricane. Fucking fagot ass motherfucker Frances. Gay fagot!!! I sware, if Frrrrraaaaaaances was actually a dude I would bas his fucking head with a brick! Because of this fucker I spent all day today trying to stock up on food and other supplies. Spent like 6 hours putting up shutters in this fucking jungle weather!
It seems like we get them here about every 3 weeks. I had to laugh at all people in line to get gas on Monday. Like they weren't going to drive all week, just park and walk until the hurricane is gone.
It's going right past MIA. You'll probably just get a foot of rain.

Uncivilizied humans.
i wouldnt know what else to do with myself. ive walked through pretty bad snow storms to the gym cause my car wouldnt budge...
They are stealing the plywood from all the construction sites because all the Home Depots ran out.
The biggest problem here is going to be that all the debris from the first hurricane is piled 12-15 feet high all over the city and there is no way to pick it all up. So all those tree parts, branches, roofing, etc is going to be airborne again and this time unattached in a hurricane that's not 30 miles wide at the center but 150 miles wide at the center. The cities were so lackadaisical about getting it all picked up They wouldn't hire new people or work overtime, and now they're phucked.

for us nonsoutherners it is kind of an exciting late summer ritual watching the day to day progress of an immenent hurricane approach land from the atlantic from the comfort of our homes. so for you florida guys: is it terrifying or kind of exciting or what? \
i know a girl who lived in FL during Andrew. she did not evacuate went to friend's house where they waited out the storm. she said it was completely terrifying. she is originally form WI and had never been thru one.

I think it's the best entertainment I have ever witnessed. It sucks cleaning it up but it's great to watch. It's like a party, but then there's the morning after.
I'm from Chicago. I've been here 3 years and like most people here had no idea what a hurricane could do or what it was like. Now we get 2 in 3 weeks.
I just sit out in the "lanai" which is what they call a covered porch here with 3 walls and open on the 4th side. It's great because you're surrounded by 3 brick walls and you can sit back about 15 feet from the opening and watch trees go by. Kind of like if you were in a cave. This one will be more fun because it's during the day.

Lol Ulter I see you are pretty new around the area...you're reffering to charlie right?. Well, Imagine this one moving half speed, spinning about 3 times the speed and twice the size of Andrew. Frances could be the biggest hurricane in a decade. Wanna have a clue of his strenght?. Over the expressway, at 65-70mph, open the window and extend your hand out. Now imagine that same pressure over your hand but more than double of speed. Good luck bro!. My house looks like a bunker.
Damn!
Yeap!

georgie24 said:ok all you guys living in florida send me your gear just in case it gets to windy and all your shit blows away. i swear ill keep your stuff safe..oh yea express mail it to ensure the stuff is safe from frances
Express mail won't work cause the airports in south FL are shut down and the ones in MCO shut down at noon.

New to the area? Yes. But since the last hurricane here (prior to Charley) was 44 years ago even if I was born here I wouldn't know any more than I do now.
Thanks for the tip. Charley went right through my neighborhood. UCF is 5 minutes north of me and the winds measured 105mph there. So I know exactly how strong the winds are because I sat out and watched 105mph winds pull the trees that were 2 feet thick out of the ground in back of my house and toss them down the block. So the car thing isn't going to teach me much more than what I have already seen in the last 3 weeks.
Frances is just slower and I don't believe it will be any where near as strong of winds, it will just last much longer and bring more rain. I'm sorry if you feel I am not frightened enough by the hurricane. I know that no matter what happens I'll be here when it leaves and knowing that it doesn't scare me.

any updates guys
Damn .. thats pretty messed up. I am sorry to break it to you though, but this is your own fault. Its Karma coming around to you for stealing the Stanley cup from us Canadians, where it was supposed to be .. at home with us .. not in Florida. lol.
Good luck to you guys. I would hop on a cycle of dbol NPP and Prop, for the quick weight gain and extra mass to hold you down. lmfao.

The winds have started to increase speed in the last 20 minutes. They will continue to increase over the next 12 hours. Vero Beach and St Lucie are in the middle of it. They have no power so they can't read this. It sucks that it's coming across at night for them. We have all our power underground all the way to the plant so it's not likely we'll lose power unless they shut it off. We kept power three weeks ago during Charley but this will really test the power and drainage systems.

I still have power!!. There are now more than 2 million residents (I'd like to say citizens) without light. More than 2.5 million were evacuated. More than 10,000 wait inside shelters from about 2 days ago. I'm lucky to be in the southern part of the storm. The eye is approaching Lake Ockeechobee with winds over 100 mph. I have wind gusts of up to 55 mph here. The rain keeps falling and falling. Everything is closed almost in the whole state. It looks like a movie. Nobody is on the streets. It's sad to see the city so dark and damaged. We're going to have a lot of work to do. I hope to wake up with light and cell communication this morning...
