mjdoa Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just received word we get a hurricane day tomorrow. :D BLHTAZ'll know what that is. Looks like Fay is gonna touch down real close to Ft.Myers if she doesn't make a last minute turn. Glad that I have my beater,I'll be out cruising tomorrow, :brows: looks like we'll get lots of rain and flooding. Whoopee,jeepin' in the streets!Gotta love Fla in the summer.

Pete M Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Maybe some of that rain will hit northern Georgia. They could use the aqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula69 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Take my word for it, you don't wanna mess with hurricanes. I worked thru Katrina with the Sheriff Dept and it really sucked. This is a small one compared to that B!^ch, but if you can get away I'd do it...just so you can have a place to crap that flushes and a place to shower that has water.

BLHTAZ Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We're watching it (obviously), but still working tomorrow as of now. She is gaining strength and looking more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdoa Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yep,they can be ugly. I've been in Ft Myers since '68,seen a few. Lost my pool enclosure 3 yrs ago. No power for almost a week.Fun,fun,fun. This one I don't think is gonna be real nasty,though. Not enough time or room to strengthen much. But we can always hope. :beerhead: At least I get a day off,but it doesn't help the wallet much being a commissioned employee. Brent,where'd you get that?I'm jealous.

Akula69 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Brent - I realize that you've probably been thru this before...so I'm not gonna lecture you....but you really need to watch yer @$$ with this one...weather undgerground is modeling this one to cross you and then make a 180 degree turn and come back (as of the 1400 observation). If it gets bad you can always come over here....but I'm not sure how Peanut would like our 4 cats..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdoa Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 He's Brent,I'm Tracy. :D I'll watch it.53 yrs old,been there,done it. Just think I'm a lot younger sometimes. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 This is the 5 day showing right now... I haven't been here as long as mjdoa, but I have been trough a few of them now. I know that Charlie was in a very similar position back in 2004 when he went from a strong Cat 1 to a Cat 4 in a matter of 2-3 hours so it's always dangerous. We are prepared for the worst, but don't expect it. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Brent,where'd you get that?I'm jealous. Tracy... Not mine...I'm just "baby sitting" for a couple months until the rightful owner can come get it ;) . I picked it up in Fruitland Park for him.

mjdoa Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ok,look at the map you just posted. See 2 AM Tues? I live in the little hole in the A. :eek: But like you said,Charlie was a real ballbuster,and unless this one does something really freaky,we'll be cool. You know I'd kill for a bed like that. Mine's junk. BTW,I'll get to the bumper project as soon as Fay hits the bricks. I pulled something in my right knee sliding out from under the mj a week ago.Got the axles all changed, was all done,just bleeding brakes.Stood up off the creeper,something went snap,and I'm limpin' around like Festus. :roll: About ready to get my butt back to work on it. See,told you I'm gettin old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdoa Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Sorry,guess that was a bad description, :oops: now that I look at it again. I've often referred to Lehigh Acres(where I'm at) as the Ahole of Florida. Anyway,we're getting it now. Wind is constant about 45-50,gusts to maybe 60. Raining pretty good. Started this post 3 times, power keeps going out.News says 4500 in Lehigh without electric,we're ok this far. I have 5 aquariums running,so it's fairly critical that power stays up. No,I don't have a generator,too poor. Waah. The storm center should pass over in 3-4 hours,then we'll see what kind of damage we get. If anything gets tore up,I'll get some pics and put them up. jt,nice find,and I wouldn't even think of snatching it.(liar) :brows: I'm 150 miles from Brent,you're safe. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Sorry,guess that was a bad description, :oops: now that I look at it again. Anyway,we're getting it now.

BLHTAZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well...in the last 30 minutes we have gone from total calm and no rain to 20 - 25 MPH gusts and heavy rain. It's gonna be a long wet day... :roll: ...BUT...I am ready with lot's of ... ...and all of the normal essentials as well ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdoa Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Enjoy.It looks like the center is right near here. Just waiting for the wind to change direction. Appears to be heading right at you now.Ruh,roh. Good luck.I don't think we've seen more than a couple 60 mph gusts.No damage yet. But of course,I just finally had the screen enclosure redone after Charlie's mess,$1100.00,so you knooooow it's gonna have to screwed up. I got a few pics out the garage door. I'll post some up when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well, at least it didn't make Cat 1 before it came to visit. Keep the beer iced and it'll be over soon. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
