Hurricane Season is Upon Us

[Douglas]

I can't imagine the old days when they didn't have technology and satellites to help see hurricanes coming. I imagine it must've killed them by the thousands.

...people avoided them by being smart enough to not build houses right on the beach

That woulda helped. Still, I can't imagine any travelers who were unfortunate enough to get caught in one.

Oh being on any type of ship would have SUCKED big time...could you imagine the first guys circumnavigating the globe Those guys had some cojones let me tell you.

That would be an awful way to die.

Imagine that you hate scary rides, (up-side-down, high G-forces, etc.) and being stuck on a scary roller coaster that could not ever stop, and you just had to keep enduring those high Gs and all those flips until you die!... Well, being on a boat in the middle of a hurricane must be worse than that.

Sometimes I wonder If it would be Better (mentally) without all of the Technology and Dopler tracking BS......You want histeria,Go to any "Big" store once a Hurricane is tracked for your area.People go absolutley insane and delerious with fear/Panic .I get to the point of almost laughing as people almost come to blows over the last pack of DD batteries or Case of water & tank of gas.Local TV,The radio,webcast....the watching inch by inch,minute by minute of the orange and red images can take a toll bigtime.I get to the point of turning it all off except for on the hour 2 minute updates and off it goes again.Not a damn thing I can do about where it is going or when it hits.......Just having my head on straight,being geared up and knowing where I am going,because those nasty B!!!ches are unpredictable,unyeilding and coming.

If it's not above a class 3 then it's not going to do much where I live...when I went to ECU I changed that to class 2 because I know better living in North Carolina.


I mean I am not going to go swimming in any bad weather much less a hurricane and I am not going to do anything crazy or anything I just wasn't going to evacuate or anything.


Had I been in New Orleans for Katrina...I would have packed a U-Haul, left and never gone back

One great positive..nice waves butThats just it,One day it was hitting the pan handle of Flordia ?? and the next morning it was "Katrina who"?? We slept on it.....hindsight is 20/20 and brutal.Honestly,I am glad I went through it and stayed through it,Changed my life forever.I sat on the beach In Flordia after getting out in the post 2nd week and literally had my family Fuming and bewildered beacause I was driving back in here to see what was left of home & Buisness.The media really over pronounced alot of things,we are not the 3rd world or beheading people in the streets Lol.....Its home.But next time............Im not going to let the door hit me on the arse

When you're walking down the street and the water is being held back by a wall which is taller than you you need to leave if a big thunderstorm is coming much less a category 5 hurricane!

Yes, I think the media only covered the worst of the worst spots. It'd still be pretty bad though...
