Tropical Storms Bonnie and Charlie are going to go right through....
:scared::scared: :scared::scared:Richmond Va.:scared::scared::scared::scared:


Heavy rain from the fringes of Tropical Storm Charley spread across Jamaica on Wednesday as two tropical storms put millions of people on alert from the Caribbean to the Florida Panhandle. Jamaicans filled stores and gas stations in Kingston to stock up on emergency supplies in advance of Charley, which took a path toward the Cayman Islands, a British territory, and Cuba, with the Florida Keys in its sights on Friday. The predicted tracks of Tropical Storms Bonnie and Charley are seen in this composite graphic. (NOAA/Reuters Graphic)

15. Charlie should have been named Clyde.
That would have been the perfect pair -- Bonnie and Clyde.

10. we had a shit load from Alex's rain bands
but not really any since then.

All the weak trees that were around 8 years ago all fell around here, so maybe there aren't too many that have newly acquired weak status...

:shrug:

6. Batten down the hatches Southeast
Man, I don't care how much oldtimers complain about needing the rain, I think we've had enough in GA lately. We're gonna get drenched.

They're not powerful, but things can still happen. Hope everyone comes through ok.

8. Hurricanes following ****?
Is it just me, or do they seem to be tracking his campaign trail?
Appearing in the Florida panhandle just the other day and then the hurricanes pick up speed.....

The night they showed F-9/11 in Crawford there was a monster of a storm that hit about an hour after everybody left town...

Maybe Mother Nature is pissed!
