1. The Cable Went Off For About Five Minutes

That was scary....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I'm Going To Peek Outside...

brb

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. That Was Scary

Must be getting old...

[Cerridwen]

4. Stay safe, please

There are a couple here who are in the hurricane and still posting


You're all braver than I.

My hat's off to you; if I wore one.

:toast:

5. I Don't Want To Lose My Cable....

I have cable and dialup internet...

7. Be Right Back-Calling My Girlfriend In LA

I wish I was there...

[RebelOne]

6. It's not the eye you have to worry about.

It's when the wall passes over, then you better take cover. I have been in enough hurricanes in South Florida to know.

[KoKo]

9. Exactly...the "Wall" is the worst after the "eye" passes over. You think

You're safe...it's very clear then "Whamo!" Stay safe Buddy...get back indoors!

[SoCalDem]

10. That's why the Galveston hurricane killed so many people

When the eye passed over, they saw blue skies, and all came out to look around...and then...

whammo:(

[Cerridwen]

8. Do you have a safe place to go when that wall passes

over?

[edbermac]

11. So how's the weather down there?

:7

[B Calm]

12. Must not be that bad, you still have electricity

Here in Indiana we lose our power every time we have a storm.

13. Good luck to you, man

Having been thru Hugo, I know how the hurricane situation can turn from an adventurous "high" to "holy s**t, I hope the house holds together."

I think this is the first one I've watchted actually cross the FL peninsula from the Gulf and then come back out over the Atlantic, which is what's supposed to happen.

Oh, ask you anything...

Are you having fun, or are you scared, or some of both?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I'm Alive....

I got a bit concerned when the power went out but it only stayed out for ten mimnutes or so....


I still don't have my cable back but since I use my computer for business I have dialup for backup....

[jbane]

15. How many are...

What was the max. wind speed, how long did the worst of it last and are there a lot of power lines down.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I Was About Two Hundred Miles From Landfall....

The highest wind speed was seventy five miles per hour... I live in the northern most part of metropolitan Orlando; about twenty miles north from downtown where they had one hundred mile an hour winds...
I haven't went for a ride yet but most of the damage to my neighborhood is superficial... Newly planted trees uprooted and stuff like that...


I don't have my cable back but I have cable and dialup on my computer...


My business partner who lives about fifteen miles from me is without power. Florida in the summer without air condition is like Viet Nam...
