No plans on doing that right now. Fortunately living on a campus I have several options available to me that are pretty safe.

Thanks for the thoughts.

None this year have been an issue, but this one might be.

Right now...I bet Ohio is looking pretty good to ya eh?

Stay safe Roody! and that also goes to everyone else down there! Ken, Philip, Mark, Kold, Cybo, few others that Im missing.

Roody · Post by **Roody** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 1:26 pm

Im with ya Illini. I do miss Ohio that's for sure. We could be alot worse off here though. Being in the middle of the state is a heckuva lot better then being near the water in these cases.

Thanks again everyone for the remarks.

Things are definately getting serious. Just pulled this off MSN.

The National Hurricane Center — which bases a storm’s strength on barometric pressure, not wind speed — said Wilma’s pressure had dropped to 882 millibars, the lowest minimum pressure ever measured in a hurricane in the Atlantic basin. Pressure drops as a hurricane gains strength, and the previous record was set by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 at 888 millibars.

This is just crazy. That's all we need right now. Everyone out there, please take care of yourselves and be safe.

Hopefully the storm is peaking strength wise and will subside before it hits land. Just from Roody's pic, it looks like Ft. Myers, Naples area could get hit...then right up the heart of the state.

I have aunts and uncles, cousins in Hope Sound, so hopefully not a direct hit like last year.

Grimson · Post by **Grimson** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 5:43 pm

So I should look for an economy sized umbrella ?

You'll all be fine, Uncle Keith is here to save the day !!

Post by **Philip** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 5:58 pm

And the red X is me

... and Ken is a few miles away too.

I also think it's going to hit further North of what they're predicting now, but I could be wrong, hehe.

Roody, I've seen pics of your wife, she can come stay with me, you have to stay in FL!

Good luck man, be safe!

I'm right at the black line.

Ken · Post by **Ken** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 6:51 pm

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Dammit! We were going to head down to Key West to ride it out on the boat but they have closed the airport to inbound traffic and are doing mandatory evacuations...
We should have left this morning like we had talked about! I freakin' told Jimmy they were going to close it on us!

The boat is heavily laden with rum waiting to be drank, and with evacs, the locals will be pouring them drinks thick...

I can hear the Tree Bar calling me!

Guys, it won't be that big and bad when it gets here. The cooler waters of the Gulf and the high pressure ridge will knock it down to a cat2 or so... Now, pull yer panties up and act like men! Freakin' woosies!

There is rum and women, what more do you want? Forget the news hype, lets ride the storm out!

I'm in Georgia so all I'll get is a bit of rain. This might sound selfish but I hope Disney World will be alright. My family loves Disney World.

[quote="Ken"] ride the storm out! ]

Screw you and REO Speedwagon! Now what can I play to get my mind off that damn song?!

Good luck for anyone who might get hit with this. Except Ken if he gets me with anymore bad songs

Stay safe over there.
Roody, never mind what Prey wants, send your missus down here.

Our wet season hasn't started yet but it will be a big one by all predictions.
