Hurricane Fabian...Help!!!!
« on: September 02, 2003, 12:07:40 PM »
Big Bad Boy bearing down on us

May not be playing AH for a while after Friday.

If this thing hits Bermuda it is going to HURT.  Category 4 right now..140mph sustained winds.

We are the wee little white dot that is right in the path of this monster.

Why does the hurricane not have a racially diverse name?

Crap Curval, seriously hope you guys will be okay. How far can the surge come inland from a hurricane this size anyway? That would scare me the most, the ocean surge coming in.

Last time a category 5 hit the island was in 1927, I believe...basically wiped out the island.

This one is category 4, but could build to a 5 out in the open ocean.

I don't know the answer to your question Nuke.  Never been in a cat. 4 before.

It ain't gonna be pretty if it hits though...that's for sure.

The Hurricane service has the storm tracking just to the west of the island on Friday...BUT there is a cold front comng down from the north-west across the US that could well push it right on top of us.

I'm more worried about wind effects than surge based on where I am now...we haven't moved into Helm's Deep yet...we had scheduled for the big move on Thursday, but we put if off until the 11th.

Grab a surfboard and ride it out, ya panzy!

Actually, I've surfed a hurricane and it wasn't worth the effort.  Too much chop, too much undertow.

When you're done with your hurricane, send it our way.  It isn't nearly difficult enough to find home insurers nowadays. :rolleyes:

If you know that in 24-48 hours advance that its going to hit the island directly, wouldn't it be wise to fly the wife and kids out? (along with yourself, unless you WANT to experience what some did in Louisiana back in the 60's but didn't live to tell the stories)
