this is a warning to all of us..i had the chance to stay in my house as a category 2 huricane went over the house. frances is going to be a beast compared to charley. if this thing is predicted to come your way..DO NOT THROW ANY STUPID PARTIES..DO NOT THINK YOUR LT. DAN IN FOREST GUMP AND FLASH YOUR FISTS IN THE AIR AT THE HURICANE. you will not survive to read any more of my stupid posts! these things are alot more damaging than you can imagine. if it hits our coast with 150 mph winds and you didn't leave your house may god have mercy on you..this is no joke...leave town..go to the other coast..as of tonight it doesn't look good for the east coast of florida..this thread by friday could become the last post you read in awhile for many of us..or it could do what 100's of canes have done and go out to sea? let's all keep an eye on this thing and pray it goes away..central florida just doesn't need another cane right now, if ever!

to give you some idea of what has happened since charley..rich (cneyedog) has just had the insurance adjuster out to his house..he left without a check in hand...the roofing people are coming by this tuesday to look at the roof..after the estimate..it will be 6 weeks before they start any work! so rich still has tarps on 35% of his roof! the damage to my house has not been repaired either..there just isn't enough repair people to do the work they have down here. and we didn't live through a monster like francis is shaping up to be...please by friday we will all know alot more...do not play with huricanes..

i think i have posted maybe 3 serious posts in over 5 years on the net...this one is no joke.. stay safe bill

As someone who lived threw Andrew this thing scares the hell out of me. Im with Katfish on this if you've never been threw a Hurricane ITS NOT A JOKE if you are told to evacuate DO IT your life could depend on it.

As someone who went through Andrew (Cat 5) a hurricane is no joke. However scaring everyone will get nothing done. First the hurricane is still to far away to tell where it will hit. With Andrew they said it was going to hit the keys, then they said north miami, then at the last minute it wobbled south and hit homestead. So before wide spread panic is brought upon us lets first keep watching and see where this thing is heading. Also remember charley was "supposed" to hit Tampa. Where did it go? Orlando, Punta gorda leaving tampa untouched. I have been reading and getting as much info as i could today about frances and at 8:00am it was supposed to be at orlando on sunday, then at the 11:00am update it was supposed to be near s carolina on sunday. hurricanes are unpredictable. We can assume where its going to hit but we never know. I am in no way trying to say this thing isnt going to hit somewhere but for all we know it can turn in either direction or go up the coast. Just play it smart and get all the info before saing where its going to hit.

thanx munchie. I think i could have done a little before in the qualifiers if the pin on the bottom of my front arm didnt keep coming loose. But after I calmed down a little during the main (with bobbys help) i was able to pull off a 3rd place finish. A couple people had to flame out (bummer austin) but a finish is a finish.

Kev, you guys take it easy up there. Just keep watching the news. these things can be very unpredictable. Be smart. If you leave where are you going?
