Hurricane Isabel

From philly. Center's coming over here.

In massachusetts here, possible here, but most likely reduced in strength, will have to see.

Better stock up on supplies X.Learn to think like a duck.

...Or plan an evacuation route

Head for the hills!

I should go to Texas!

Xerraire and me won't have it as bad as GhoS right? It's calmer around the center or eye.

I'm on the Hudson River so I better keep a lookout. In the center of the eye it's a bright sunny day...it's the eye walls that will rip your house out of the ground...

Always welcome Barb!

Yes, there's plenty of room for you here in Texas.

You could always come to Jacksonville, Florida....hasn't been truly hit since 1964 (Dora). A few close calls, though...

ok


I don't know what other people do for hurricanes, but perhaps a travel to both Florida and Texas would be a plan.

Im in Miami Fla. So Im keeping a real close eye on this.

I am in Maryland too and I have been keeping an eye on it...Jeez! If that thing finds it's way up the Bay Yikes!!!

Speaking of the possibility of Isabel coming here ...I just got this from my Weather Proggie...

... A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW YOUR FAMILY DISASTER PLAN...

AS MAJOR HURRICANE ISABEL CONTINUES TO MOVE WEST NORTHWEST TOWARD THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES... NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW AND UPDATE YOUR FAMILY DISASTER PLAN.

PART OF YOUR FAMILY DISASTER PLAN SHOULD BE PREPARING IN CASE A HURRICANE THREATENS YOUR AREA. SOME ACTIVITIES WHICH YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE INCLUDE KNOWING THE HURRICANE RISKS IN YOUR AREA SUCH AS WHETHER YOU LIVE IN A POTENTIAL FLOOD ZONE... LEARNING SAFE ROUTES INLAND FROM COASTAL AREAS... FINDING OUT WHERE OFFICIAL SHELTERS ARE LOCATED... TRIMMING TREES AND SHRUBBERY... CLEARING LOOSE AND CLOGGED RAIN SPOUTS AND GUTTERS... AND DETERMINING WHERE TO MOVE YOUR BOAT IN AN EMERGENCY.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF YOUR FAMILY DISASTER PLAN IS THE PREPARATION OF A DISASTER SUPPLIES KIT....


Watch The Paranoia set in the next day or so...

sir Elvee, where in Maryland are you?

Yes we've been hit in this state indirectly, but rarely get a direct hit. Up the Bay is a scary thought!

I live on the Eastern Shore in Federalsburg. About 20 miles east of Easton.

Tracking the Eye Proggie has Isabel forcasted hitting The Outer Banks in North Carolina and then passing over Norfolk Va.

Please don't rely on this info...Hurricanes have minds of there own.

Xerraire..I bet those hurricanes are awesome!

I use to live in so cal, where earthquakes were just plan....fun!

...just when I am going back to work as a bike messenger for extra money there is a storm headed this way...

SUPER!

Hurricanes, tornados, volcanos, & earthquakes are fun to watch.
Vermont had a huge storm. I guess it was a mini tornado. That happened several years ago. The wind was 70 mph. Vt doesn't have storms, only t-storms.

It looks like Michigan might get some bad weather associated with it- probably
just rain, though.

North Carolina, uncomfortably close to the coast, I feel like I have a giant bullseye painted on me

Heck, we get storm surge and flooding even when the hurricanes pass without even touching the coast.

Well I don't expect to get hit hard here in Mass., but its still too early to say who will get it most. By wednesday I think they can be more sure. Right now they say up here we might not get much effects. Even so people are already worried, I think that's a bit much. I work in a store and they are asking for radios, in case the storm hits.
Why do people do that? Lose their heads when a hurricane is coming? Sure lets stock up on plenty of refrigerated food, then if the power goes out, we'll lose more..... It makes sense to be prepared, but use your head.

I'd better watch out here in Alberta Canada!

Seriously though, we're due for our first snow tonite or tommorow.

The track has shifted, the little dotted centerline now goes directly overhead
