mrc Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i fucking HATE the media!!! i just went to get some beer and gas and most of the cheap gas stations (sams club, walmart, BJs...) have at least 10-15 cars waiting at each jump. superwalmart, publix, walgreens are all packed all because the media is hyping this shit storm. i guess i was smart cause i went to the "expensive" gas station and paid 10 cents more per gallon but was in and out of there in 5 mins. people are losing their shit!

FullCircleHook Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 mrc, how are you doing up there in Jax? We are getting some decent winds down here. By far the worst it has been. A shit ton of rain as well. My pool is overflowing and my fireplace is leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 A friend who lives in St. Augustine called me a bit ago and told that shit is crazy up there...raining like crazy and windy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullCircleHook Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 A friend who lives in St. Augustine called me a bit ago and told that shit is crazy up there...raining like crazy and windy as hell. Yeah, I thought we avoided this shit. It's not extremely bad here like in 04, but you never fucking know when a tree is going to come down. On the way home, my wife saw a tree fall on somebody's house and car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Damn! Even though we didn't get it as bad as you folks further north, I am surprised that we haven't gotten any flood-related claims at work. I've seen less severe storm roll through and we get a ton of flooded engines or interior claims reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you will probably be busy tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 mrc, how are you doing up there in Jax? We are getting some decent winds down here. By far the worst it has been. A shit ton of rain as well. My pool is overflowing and my fireplace is leaking. Pretty good, my work got called off and it really didnt start getting windy and rainy untill 2pm. its been raining nonstop since and the wind has picked up to around 50mph or so but nothing too bad. both St. Aug and Daytona are getting hammered because this storm is moving so slow. I bet my work will be flooded tomorrow. its in a really low part of town that floods in normal rain storms. Downtown and the beaches have the worst drainage, standing water everywhere Its actually a little stronger than i thought it would be... The next heavy bands are about to come through so i hope my power stays on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Do you work for an insurance company? If so you will probably be busy tomorrow. Yes I do. I am sure my co-workers in all the nothern offices will be busy as hell after tomorrow like you said. But if it's bad enough, they have Catastrophe Team that handles any hurricane/storm claims. They're reps from all over the country that fly out for things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanehennessey Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Uh oh, looks like Gustav could be hitting New Orleans on Monday. Good thing I get back into town on Saturday haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanehennessey Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I leave for NO tomorrow but since it looks like they're going to start mandatory evacuation, they'll begin contraflow on Saturday. If that happens, I won't even be able to get into the city so I'll be stuck in Charlotte. So frustrating, especially since I have a house now with my belongings in it opposed to Katrina when all my shit was in a dorm room and locked up.

My sister-in-law lives down there now, and this is first big hurricane to come through since she moved, so we are a bit worried about her there...

shanehennessey Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well it looks like classes are canceled from tomorrow until Thursday pending what happens. I wasn't able to go back first week so it looks like I didn't miss much school haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbs84 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well, I was supposed to leave tomorrow for Baton Rouge for the LSU game. Looks like I'll have to wait and see if they announce if it's cancelled or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostatsea Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 yeah the weather down there is crazy right now. Good luck to all of you that live in in those areas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's to be expect this time of year...every year...being that last year was quiet and no major storms rolled through, everyone is in a panic now this year with all of this activity.

kirbs84 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Left Baton Rouge after the LSU game around 2:30 heading back to Houston. It's now 9:00, and I'm around 15 miles out of Houston. It should have taken 4 hours.....but it was worth it to see the Tigers :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
