hurricane dennis

[vtwin_gary]

well the storm is on it's way into the gulf. so i'll be buckeling down today. if the storm stays on path i'll be off line for a while early next week with out power. is there any other FL residents here in GDF? if so good luck.

[D-Zine]

There are a ton of Fla residents on GDF vtwin :( Last year we had alot of hurricane threads bc there are so many Floridians here...and this year the season is suppose to be worse :(

Everyone be careful!

[morea]

I can think of a few other members in FL. Hang tight guys!

I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, but hopefully we won't be affected too much. Where in FL are you, Vtwin? Don't you just love living in the Cone of Death?

i'm in fort walton beach (between pensacola & panama city) last year we got nailed by Ivan

[morea]

why don't you Floridians build your houses underground? Wouldn't that make them hurricaine-proof?

[DeleteYourself]

We have an aquifer not far below ground. That's why no Floridians have basements, either.

[vtwin_gary]

underground here is water.
if i dig a 4' hole in my backyard i'd have a well.

here's a map & a star where i'm athttp://img242.imageshack.us/img242/8310/florida6yf.jpg

Or how 'bout an aerodynamic house? I don't see this house going any where in a hurricane no matter what its name is.

holy wow! I never knew. Guess that wouldn't work then.

[D-Zine]

Most Georgian's don't have basements either..atleast not this far down in GA! LOL! Luckily my step sister in Atlanta did this past tuesday! A tornado touched down and wiped out some of their roof!

See...

[D-Zine]

Mynock - there is a house in Myrtle Beach, SC that looks much like that! Wierd!

Meet george jetson....his boy elroy...daughter Judy...Jane - his wife!

[morea]

wow. Thank goodness they were ok!

[D-Zine]

LMAO @ Joe!

Definitely time to batten down the hatches if you're down in the FLA.

Not to be a bugaboo, but shouldn't this be in the off-topic section?

[morea]

I don't know what you're talking about... it *is* in the Off Topic section. ;)

Very sly Mo.

[Ulysses]

After watching War of the Worlds, I have to say I'm scared for y'all. Be sure to have a flock of birds with you at all times.

[vtwin_gary]

all hatches are battened down, everything that will fit in the garage is in the garage. candles, batteries, ice... i think i'm ready. it just started to rain & probably won't stop untill monday. i'll post as long as i can untill i lose power.

say a prayer for us.

[D-Zine]

yer in our thoughts vtwin...and anyone else in harms way too!

[vtwin_gary]

well i'm going to bed... we'll see if we have power in the morning. we are right in the path of the storm.

uhhhhhhhhh

[Vikia]

Vtwin_Gary, Sure looks as though you were in the crosshairs and hit big-time. I hope you are ok and will recover soon.

[D-Zine]

Yes, Please let us know as soon as possible how are you fairing!

[morea]

hoping that all is well... check in when you can!

[vtwin_gary]

ok... we made it. YEAH!!!
there are alot of peopl still without power and there is still lots of damage but not at all what we thought it would bring the storm really fizzeled out in the end
the storm season is still young & we already have another brewing.
well i got alot of clean up & stuff still to do but i'll be back to normal in a few days.

[morea]

glad you are safe, gary!

[vtwin_gary]

here's my feel good story just for morea...
we heard about some people that live in a trailor & evacuated but weren't able to take there kittens so.... right as the storm was about to hit we left & went & got the kittys.
they stayed with us untill there parents got home...
here they are, save and sound.
