just kidding about no need to evacuate. Looks like the storm shifted and is comeing right for us. everyone who was comeing to our party took off for maimi or other out of the way places. I found some batteries though. Its not the hurricane that worries me its all the freaken tornodoes!

last year i was in the caribbean at this time and we had to moor up at spanishtown because of a hurricane. The great thing was that it never came, so we ended up wasting about 4 days in harbor waiting out a tropical storm that disappeared.

Yeah I figured something like that would happen here too.but it is not looking that way. We do have a kite and a couple of skateboards so we may "parasail" around the complex before things get too bad. there is always an upside

when I lived in Maine we had an ice storm that covered everything in a couple inches of ice. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Plus we had a month off of school due to no power.

@friscosjoke- Nice 'real time  ' pics there mate ! Having seen the devastation (via CNN) the recent Hurricane did to Florida it was just so terrifying mates  Also, the power failure it hampered to almost 2M residents of the said place  . . . I hope that Florida can recover back - fast ! The Hurricane will cross another state as it was reported, good though that it weakened it's strength a little  ! |

ok I am finnaly back up and running as normal. Hope everyone was well while I was sweltering here with no power, wich means no ac. I have some pix of my complex I took the day after the fence is the same one as in the first pix i posted. and the last 2 are of the hotel bathroom That i stayed in on saturday night so we could take hot showers and whatnot we moved the bike in there to keep it from getting stolen.
all in all it was fun and a good experience. We did some crazy things like put on helmets and run around outside in the thick of it. my brother still has a mark on his face from where he was pelted by a roof shingle. |
