Sick and tired of hurricanes

[Ghost]

Lucky ducks...we've not had Hurricanes or the more welcomed Tropical Storms/Depressions in the South all that often recently. Louisianna has been hit a few times, but Florida has gone a while without one. Sure these storms are destructive and can kill people, but they are just as much of a part of nature as anything else, we need them for the rain they bring.

I for one love Hurricanes, granted I now live safely in the middle of the state so even a category 5 would do very little damage to where I live. However when I was at school along the coast we would have Hurricane Parties, if it was a category 2 or lower we would be partying our asses off...great times.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Back in '92 we had this big block party going on until this big ass hole named Andrew came along and ruined every thing.

Them were the times. We even got photos plastered all over the place (internet) before and after the party to share with guests who showed up later.

Were some great times.

Remember Bruno telling a story when he was in Jamaica and he said he saw a hurricane for the first time in his life and he knew it was serious when he saw a cow flying past his house.

Yeah, I know where he's coming from. Seen a dumpster flying about 15 feet off the ground as it went pass the window.

The tornadoes that spin off of hurricanes are the most dangerous part

Hurricanes Hugo (1989) and Georges (1998 ) have been the worst to affect Puerto Rico in the last few decades. Hugo flattened the northeast corner of the island (where I live) when it hit us as a strong Category 3 hurricane. Georges was a little less strong than Hugo, but affected the whole island by cutting diagonally through it. Mostly, we've been pretty lucky, with hurricanes "whizzing" by to the north and to the south of us.

I guess it helps being such a small target.

Lyle, didn't Hugo affect your area at all? I remember it hit S.Carolina pretty hard.

[El Kabong]

Yup, plenty of tornados after Hugo. My power went out, that's about it. It hit SC hard and Charlotte hard but my city was fairly ok. That's a category 3 storm though and anything above 2 I am wary of.

It looks like Isaac is headed to the East of New Orleans, it's on a path similar to Katrina, a hurricane that devastated NOLA 7 years ago. The big difference this time is, while Issac may do a ton of damage to New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama, et al (manly from the storm surge & flooding) they're much better prepared. (NO has had a $14 billion upgrade to its levees and pumps) Plus, Issac is not expected to be as strong as Katrina and New Orleans could dodge a bullet if Issac makes landfall further to the East more in Mississippi.

Issac is due to make landfall Tuesday afternoon/evening, as a cat 2.

HAHA... that was a big storm man. The one I partied hardest to was Isabel, not very strong but the beer & liquor flowed and much fun was had.
