I spoke to the managing director of our firm in the Turks and Caicos earlier. They are going to get hit hard.
We have an insurance company there, a corporate services and accounting firm, buildings, houses and condos.
Our net worth could be significantly less tomorrow.
:(

Are insurance companies insured?

Yes, i think so.. they insure eachother.
-
Yes, it is called "reinsurance".
Insurance companies also "lay off" risk to ther insurers, which is what Nilsen is referring to.
Regardless...the insurance company will take a huge hit if this thing is as bad as it is expected to be.

do your parents give you the respect you deserve? unlike the scummy navy?

Sometimes...
But then again, I'm thinking of leaving my family because of that...
;)
:lol

My dad works for Verizon and is a Sys Admin, but he's now being called a Developer.
He has to make sure he's got the servers backed up, and then he's gotta make sure the Server don't go down during the hurricane, and of course the Tech guys gotta worry about the towers going down, literally..

Hey watch it...That was the Sea Cadets not the Navy..just a bunch of other kids and alot of (not all of course,trying not to sterotype) teen-age kids don't respect anything or anybody.
Hope ya'll fair well.
I grew up in Jax..lived there 25 out of my 28 years...never hit...the Hurricanes always squeek by us. Hopefully it will this time too. 3 generations of my family live there.

well, in times of trouble like these, I have to make a confession:
I am UDET and I was BANNED
hope it misses florida all together, but especially Daytona

so.. its actually normal weather for them? ;)

Well two hurricanes (almost three) in a couple weeks is about once a century type thing.
I will tell you, having been all over Florida in the summer ( and living in Arizona for 33 years) that Florida is a hot, humid watermelon hole for the most part.
Florida has some really nice areas, but overall it's a swamp filled with inbred types.
-
lived in South Miami during Andrew....
hope all of you that live there are taking every precaution you can to protect yourselves.
God Bless.

LOL sure it is

Yep we have a lot of squad members living down there, makes Squad night interesting after a storm.....
Im in NM and all we hav are a few Volcanos that hafe moved off the hot spot that created them, so all I have to worry about is a bad Chilli crop.

I cannot reach anyone in the Turks and Caicos. There is no news whatsoever from anywhere.

Turks and Caicos were missed by the eye they never the less received a substantial whack.
We are battening down presently the damage radius is about 180 miles across. This one is a beauty.
I'll post on monday.....if we survive that is.

That is actually good news for me Storch. The worst winds were in the north-east quadrant of the storm. If the eye missed then it would have missed to the north, meaning TCI took winds from the north west, west or south west part of the storm.
Good luck to you and yours. This is a nasty one.
Keep us informed.
-
Storch...where did you find that information about the eye not hitting TCI?
-
This storm is larger than the state of Florida.

Good luck to my friends in the southern end of our state.
Think of your family on this one. I have rode several out, but nothing of this force.

In my best SOUTHPARK voice....
Its Comming Right For Us...
Ill Try to get some pictures.. weather permiting that is...

This one is nasty (they all are, but I grew up in Corpus Christi TX, just to give you some perspective...Beulah)!
Keep safe over there. Don't take any chances.

NUKE I resemble that remark!!......:D
Looks like I should only get some rain and maybe a little wind. Living in NW Florida today definitely has its advantages.
It is a hot, humid, swampy area, but there are some perks. The winter months are what I live for. From October till May is awesome! No snow, beaches are great for the "Scenery":cool: and I can ride my bike year round.

weather radar IIRC. The eye went about 100km N of TCI
-
Thanks mate...I actually just spoke to our MD a few minutes ago. Phones are back up in Grand Turk and power is being restored now.
TCI dodged a bullet. Apparently the storm wobbled off it's track to the north, passed TCI and then resumed on its original path.
Thank goodness for that.
Hope everything is okay for you guys. This could be a huge disaster for Florida, being whacked twice in a month.
Be safe. I'll be thinking about you all.

Rhino,
It looks like us in the Redneck Riviera are going to get a taste of this storm.

This thing jumps into the warm gulf waters it can get a bunch of it's punch back. Looks like no part of Florida will dodge this one.

Yep Driftr It appears I has changed yet again. The good news is it looks like It will loose strentgh before it hits land. Cat2 is better than a 4/5.

I wasnt around yet for Buelah but have heard the stories of my grandfather having to row out to the high spot in the pasture to feed the cows. Grew up in Harlingen, TX...way down south.

FRANCES REMAINS A STRONG CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE WITH MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS OF NEAR
120 MPH...195 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SOME FLUCTUATIONS
IN INTENSITY ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
It is a cat 3 still according to the latest report from NHC.
I hope it does loose strength some more but don't count on it.
-
Good Luck to the Floridians.
:eek:
-
...all the plans of men and mice...
I got out of Florida, but looks like I might be stuck in Alabama because of this thing slowing down and pouring rain all over the panhandle and the southeastern states :p :p :p :p
good news is that the winds have dropped down to 115mph.
I wasn't in Daytona when Charley hit, but moved there right afterwards. The place was in pretty bad shape, and that was after only a cat 1 hurricane. with Frances...
good luck to us all.
-
Think that all these hurricanes are part of some conspiracy by the left to keep the people in Florida out of the state in the months approaching election time..funny how Hurricane season doesn't end until November
