Huricane Season - Blizzard Sector

**Pamela** · 07-07-2007, 03:46 PM

Well the news has stated repeatedly that this will be *An Active and Destructive* Season....then we find out all kinds of high level management in some of the National Weather Services are getting fired....mmmm makes you wonder doesn,t it?

I live in Florida...Huricane forcasting is just a TAD important to me...

I hope we get lots of medium ones, nothing too damaging, but enough for me to get some overtime working on storm restoration. (Gotta love working for a utility.)

LMFAO I hear yah on that my friend! I guess we have to just wait and see~.0

**Bright** · 07-10-2007, 09:36 PM

I live in Nevada so I'm safe from all of this.

**Pamela** · 07-10-2007, 10:34 PM

Hurricanes yes...but NOT tornadoes or drought!

**jedimaster86** · 07-10-2007, 10:53 PM

Heh, hope you stay safe, Pam. Living in a higher part of PA, I kind of escape from most severe weather.

**Blue** · 07-10-2007, 11:12 PM

well heres a tip, if theres a hurricane warning, get out of town immediately, dont stay there for the ****ing thing to hit you

Dude I grew up in Texas and lived in just about any state that can POSSIBLY be hit by one

...trust me dude...I KNOW when to tuck tail and run.

There are times leaving is the only sane thing to do. A warning means nothing...it is the category and strength of the storm that counts,as well as estimated arrival and landfall point.

I feel like that is directed towards Hurricane katrina, but I mean...who the hell builds a city under sea level?

That reminds me of something though.

I will tell you who...all my freaking relatives that live in New Orleans....when it floods the damn coffins come out of the ground and float around.

Emphasis on freaking...

ewwww
anyhow.. i wouldnt run.. we tried to do that during rita.. haha got no where. just turned around and went back home. more people died running away from the storm than from the storm itself.

The part about the death is quite true..A home is a much better shelter than trying to escape on horrible traffic...if planning to stay prepare...if planning to leave go early.

**Ragnarhox** · 07-12-2007, 02:23 AM

Guess they didn't like me linking that picture?

They should build more of the hurricane resistant buildings. They are domes made from concrete, rebar and foam I believe. Not sure how pricey those are though.

**The Mob** · 07-12-2007, 03:08 AM

well you need to look at the statistics. it just isnt economical for everyone to build storm shelters.

**Blue** · 07-12-2007, 03:16 AM

Yes it was aimed at katrina, and for those that are disable, it's called, call the state/nation and get a helicopter to escort you somewhere.
If there were to be a hurricane warning in Green Bay, I'd immediately pack up and go to my godfather's in Madison, join my brother in Germnay, or go to Boston with my uncle.

You may not realize this...but my husband evacuates/rescues people in a helicopter...he is not at home in an emergency...if the weather is too bad phones are out,power is out,cell phone towers are non functional.
Airports are not running,highways are congested,and any form of leaving is impractical.

Tell me...how many Hurricanes have you gone through...as well as their intensity?

You are not old enough to just leave,not only that but you fail to realize I know what I am talking about concerning this.

**The Mob** · 07-12-2007, 10:48 PM

word.
id like to see you try to leave when the traffic is sooo congested that you could ride a bicycle to san antonio faster than you could drive

No crap man..Not only that,but many times these storms do weird ass crap and even loop themselves.
As well educated as the weathermen are,land fall location is still iffy at best.

Radar tracking is vital, even yet...(Ghosts) of Huricanes have tracked up all the way into the mid-west ,spawning tornadoes and massive flooding.

As much as we like to THINK we know....nature will surprise you,and you can not always be as prepared as you think you are.

**Blue** · 07-15-2007, 02:17 AM

It's called better safe than sorry, leave before it gets there and if it loops, then oh well.

But for you, you are a special case, but I'm sure you could set something up.

**The Mob** · 07-15-2007, 06:30 AM

ya. you could try leaving a week before the projected storm hits you. lol
