They don't have cellars, the whole state is one giant sand bar, about 50 feet above sea level.

Post by: Golfer on August 14, 2004, 10:26:48 AM: I still have an apartment, yaaaaay.

I was away on vacation last week with the family in myrtle beach. Flight out on friday was cancelled, so i drove home to ohio with them and now am leaving tomorrow from columbus for palm beach. Friend says I still have a place, so im pleased. I am afraid a lot of people didn't make it through this one.

Kindly Kiss mine SIR, I was not referring to your post you Palm Beach P@)% I also live in Florida, Sure seems a lot diff. in here then it did when we had a storm hitting Bermuda and one of us was under the gun (should I dig the posts up from Rip then?). No lets worry about the voteing machines and such, Golfer me thinks you protest to much, I was not reffering to you.

Rip, you are in poor taste and I don't give a damn about the dates of the post I was refering to the lack of concern about the event and the differance as to the care shown when Curvel was about to be hit in Bermuda. You can try to spin it any way you like, I am still trying to contact a family member in Pine Island, Punta Gorda, may your family never be in harms way. If they ever are I will pray for them and provide any help I can, I won't make light of the threat.

I am leaving in half an hour to go over and help and to make contact with loved ones, good day.

Post by: Nilsen on August 15, 2004, 08:00:01 AM: hope you find them all, and that they are ok.
Title: So how are all you Florida boys doing?
Post by: Curval on August 15, 2004, 08:16:08 AM: Good luck Scooter. My thoughts are with you today. Hope you are able to locate everyone. It may well be very tough to reach people yet, so don't panic.

I'm a bit surprised by the difference in posts between last year and this storm too. :(

Kindly show me where in this thread I was making jokes about FL. I simply laughed at a post that Funky posted that had to do with a recent article in the news. I know funked well enough that he meant no harm or hard feelings. He's probably seen plenty of east coasters mentioning "has California fallen off into the sea?" after major earthquakes in his part of the country.

Now, if you need to take your frustrations out on someone, I'd suggest re-directing that energy. You're wasting it here over nothing but a harmless joke.

Post by: OIO on August 15, 2004, 07:12:36 PM: well finally i get internet access.

pretty scary here in orlando. the eye went straight through downtown.

in the east side where i live we got the brunt of the rotating winds, some tornados touched down,thankfully though they hit forested areas and not the communities (as far as i know).

been without power for 2 days now... the heat got so bad i went over to a hotel that had power (and internet access which is why i can post now hehe).

luckily my house suffered no damage at all, the neighborhood had only a few snapped trees and some folks lost their pool screens.

the biggest problem we have atm is lack of gas and power. it took many of us by surprise when the 'cane did that turn right to orlando... little to no time to make preparations. heck my family got so busy just GETTING all of us away from work, driving home and getting supplies that we forgot to tape the windows and stuff :D

waiting to hear from bohdi, last i know he lived next to the airport...it got nasty there too.
