FullCircleHook Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 my dad lives in a mobile home in the tampa bay area and is just like "eh, it wont hit us, they never do" I sure hope that he's right I mean he's prepared but isnt freaking out. which I guess is whats best Yeah, that's what I said until that year when Orlando got hit by 3. I was looking forward to the first one. I thought it would be cool. That's until I lost power for a fucking week after each storm. Fucking trees falling everywhere. BTW, my mother in law lives in a mobile home in Saint Pete. I really hope it avoids hitting there. I would almost it rather hit here than there. I don't want a new room mate. I am seriously not prepared for this one. We recently moved into a new house and I gotta get my shit together. I don't think this one will be too bad though. I'm just worried about water damage due to my shit ass doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have been through my share of hurricanes in the 15 years I have lived here in FloriDUH! Mostly they're a hassle. The worst one I experienced was Wilma. Not as far as during it and damages but the no electricity for two weeks aftermath. Cold showers everyday sucked. I'm just hoping to not have to work for a day or two for Fay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm just hoping to not have to work for a day or two for Fay. Im hoping the same thing,but im sure it will just be a rain storm by the time it gets up here. But the part of town my office is in floods really easily and then the power shuts off, so if it brings the heavy showers i still might have a day off. we got some nasty nasty t-storms last week and it knocked over a tree that was against our office and snapped our water pipe. no water the whole day. no coffee and walking 2 blocks in the rain to a hotel to take a piss was no fun.

twat Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 did any of you live in florida for hurricane andrew? shit FUCKED us. Shit fucked south fla real hard. Lesson, do not live in a trailer park. Looks more like this will rip through Lakland/winter park/Orlando area. these storms spin off tons of tornados. Tampa has been pretty lucky, just a shit load of floods. Getting out of this state blows, there 2 main highways out here, i-4 & A1A. They starting evac in the Keys as we speak. I dread going to the store now because everything, ie water food gas, will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 We hadn't moved to Florida yet when Andrew touched down. My uncle was living here and he lost his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnRocks Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've been in Florida (St. Pete) for the past 20 or so years, and have yet to get hit by anything major. Even when Andrew came through, we barely got anything, lots of rain, some decent winds, but no damage, no extended power outages, nothing at all, really. This has all helped to make me very skeptical towards large storms. One of these days, my area is going to get pounded, I just hope i've made it out of this god forsaken area before hand.

twat Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Born & raised FLA. we have been extremely lucky. There arent any levys, we're just way below sea level. Which sucks if this thing vears towards the Gulf. I hate the pandemic these things cause. the store shelves are getting empty. my fav beer is no where to be found.
