its been raining off and on so far. we are about a hour from where the eye is projected to hit tomorrow afternoon. its so flat down here and water is expected to rise 7-11 feet by tomorrow. hopefully we will make it through without loosing a car to the floods.

 

Be safe guys, I can't imagine what it is like to see it comming----I live in earth quake country so things just happen with no warning.

Stay dry and safe!

 

I was thinking to make my facebook status "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane.", but I thought the wife would get pissed with me being away saying that.

Ah very close... I am in North Attleboro every few weeks. just went bowling at North Bowl last night actually

 

I'm planning to run through the streets flailing and screaming. I'm getting the feeling that 's what I'm supposed to do, based on the media coverage of this.

Seriously though, everyone be safe. We should be employing common sense every day, but especially when we are dealing with Mother Natures power.

 

seriously...people around here are going crazy. grocery stores are almost completely dry, and folks running their neighbors down for the last case of water

 

That is what happens when the media over plays things. If you look at the actual wind speeds a category 1 hurricane is just a bit more powerful than the typical southern thunderstorm. A tropical storm is about as strong as a southern thunderstorm. Very little damage will result from the actual storm. There will be localized flooding and some damage from that, but not too much from the wind, unless a tornado is spawned.

 

Right. I had a day at home to relax yesterday and thought I'd catch up on the news, not. I'm sure I saw footage of every building on the East Coast receiving plywood protection.

 

Kinda like these guys....keep an eye on the guy in the red shorts

Saw this live & couldn't beleive what I had just seen!!

Well update so far: 4 trees down just across my driveway, and about 30 more on the way to the entrance of my neighborhood. Looks like I'm not going anywhere for a while haha.

 

My chainsaws are ready..Stihl's...
Where are yours?
Hope all turns out OK for you..

Yup time to get ready for the war coming this way..
Supposed to be here around 8 AM and continue for 12..15 or so hrs.

Whatever happens happens and we will deal with it as it comes..


Stay safe everyone..
It may be a wild ride for awhile..

...zap!

 

Looter's from New Orleans heading up to the Northeast now! Choot 'em On a serious note hope everyone is safe.

 

Haha mines sitting in the garage waiting for me to fire it up. Hopefully I'll be able to drag most with the tractor and help from neighbors cause lord knows the only people who are gonna clear the streets in our neighborhood is the people who live there. If we waited for the county to come out it'd be weeks ha, it takes them 3 weeks before they even come out there to plow roads when it snows.

 

Hurricane Irene I'ma let you finish but Katrina was da best hurricane of all time
