It's got me thinking of this one.

Look through the eye, thats me frantically trying to kiss my bellybutton goodby down there.
Funny thing is, I usually don't worry about em too much, but this one is giving me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully it's just those fond memories coming back to haunt me.

This is sure to be a killer if it strikes land.
There is apparently a ridge of low pressure developing on the east coast of the US...this will hopefully push its course north and therefore east enough to miss the US and hopefully it will pass between Bermuda and the east coast.
If it hits us it's game over for this island for sure.
-
That pic got me thinking, found a link to a synopsis of the storm.
Enjoy:) http://www.geocities.com/hurricanene/hurricanehugo.htm
Been thinking about you guys out in Bermuda too Curval. Hopefully lightning really doesn't strike twice.

I was one block from the Customs House in downtown Charleston the night Hugo hit. I still live here, just a little farther inland in Hanahan.

Well howdy neighbor.
-
Said howdy to ya about a year ago, neighbor:p I used to have my location in my profile, noticed yours and said howdy. Been awhile though :) Where in MB are ya?
Was talking about Floyd tonight too. Its amazing how something 1000mi away can bring up so many memories. If you live on the north side up there you got it pretty bad. I was on my back porch watching the wind blow by. A guy across the street from me was shooting off a tater gun all night, over the houses across the street and into a high tension line break. Friends of mine that lived 20 minutes away spent 6 hours driving to my house. We sat up and drank and told stories all night after the power went out. I found him in my car in the garage about 2am passed out cold,lol.
-
Apache and Laz,
Howdy neighbors across the county. I live in Asheboro, lived through Andrew when I was in South Florida so remember it really well. If it looks like it's gonna hit near you, ya'll can come stay up here.
Take care and good luck,
-
Hey there TOJO,
Looks like I moved from Florida to Kentucky just in time :) Hope it misses you and my family down there. If not, get the hell out of there buddy. It just isn't worth it.

Forgive my failing memory. Got into my forties and swooosh, right out the window.
I live in Murrells Inlet, right on 17. I work for the Myrtle Beach PD, so I simply use MB as my location. More folks know where MB is than MI.
Floyd itself wasn't that bad for us but it caused horrible flooding. The Waccamaw River was flooded for 2 weeks or better. When you have a flooded river on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, it makes for interesting times.

This hurricane is gonna suck. Doubly so because the ground here is already super-saturated. I can't even begin to imagine the flooding it'll cause.

The Ground is saturated badly here to, Orlando is worse though, it just rained for like a week straight not to long ago.
There is a town outside Raliegh/Durham that always gets hammered badly but I can't remember the name.
As of now the storm is continueing a due-west direction...
which if it coninues will stick it into FL next week...
Grimmy I dont blame you for leaving fl, this truely is the freak state...

Northridge around '94.
The nice thing about quakes is that there is no warning. Hurricanes have plenty of warning time and everyone gets all tense. With a quake, you go 'ohh earthquake', and then when its over you're either dead or not.
-
I heard on TV tha becauise of some low pressure front is going to take a northerly turn and miss us and hit farther north, maybe in the Carolinas.

here's the latest from CNN.
CNN) -- Hurricane Isabel regained strength Saturday returning to the most powerful Category 5 storm, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The adjustment came at 2:10 p.m. EDT after an Air Force Reserve and National Oceanic and Atmospheric hurricane hunter aircraft reported surface wind speeds of 192 miles per hour (308 km/h). Sustained winds are more than 160 miles per hour (257 km/h).
The storm is in the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of miles from the nearest speck of land and heading west.
The storm had dropped to a Category 4 hurricane in the center's 11 a.m. EDT advisory.
It is uncommon for Category 5 storms -- the highest designation on the Saffir-Simpson scale -- to maintain their intensity for longer than 30 hours, according to Max Mayfield, director of the hurricane center. Category 5 hurricanes are said to be capable of inflicting catastrophic damage, according to the scale.
At 11 a.m., the center of the hurricane was about 405 miles (650 km) northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, with hurricane force winds extending about 85 miles (140 km) from the eye, according to the latest advisory.
The storm continues to move west at about 10 mph (17 km/h).
The current five-day forecast path shows Isabel traveling west over open ocean parallel to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic before turning slightly to the north Monday and traveling parallel to the Bahamas.
That trajectory would take the storm toward the coasts of Georgia or the Carolinas. However, the "steering currents" directing the storm are too weak to accurately determine its path beyond the next five days, Mayfield said.
"We'll have to see whether it continues that movement toward the southeast U.S. or turns a little bit more to the north," he said.
"The good news is that we have plenty of time to watch it. Take the weekend, look over your hurricane plan and know what you'll do if it does move toward your community."
No storm watches or warnings have been issued, but people in the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are being warned that large ocean swells and dangerous surf conditions are likely in the next several days.
The 11 a.m. position of Isabel was longitude 22.2 N, latitude 61.5 W.
I hope this biatch doesn't hit Florida, I just moved back here and I'm getting settled. Reminds me of my freshnam year when they evacuated us from the dorms because of Fickle Floyd :P

Yea when they can tell you 5 days in advance when thay are coming, I would rather have a Hurracane and not be here.
To wake up dead one night and not know it would just suck.
-
Looks like its gonna hit, my good buddy and his family all live in Nags Head, NC they will find out Wed night if they are going to have to evacuate.
CNN) -- Hurricane Isabel dipped just below Category 5 status late Sunday morning, but the still powerful hurricane with top winds of 155 mph was forecast to hit the U.S. East Coast by the end of the week.
"We feel pretty confident that someone will (get hit)," said Eric Blake, a specialist at the National Hurricane Center told Reuters. "We're forecasting a major hurricane for the United States East Coast."
Hurricane center forecasters said they expected the storm to hit the U.S. East Coast by the end of the week, but added that air currents and condition could push it further north before landfall.
"Landfall along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast somewhere between North Carolina and New Jersey between four or five days is appearing more and more likely," the hurricane center said.
-
I heard that a high pressure area moved off the coast, and looks like it'll shove the hurricane into the mainland. Predicted landing point is from SC up to NJ...is that correct?
-
Not looking good for those in NC, especially the Outer Banks

looks like us in FL will be spared...whew
-
Certainly has my attention.... don't like the looks of this one at all.
-
Go buy a generator right now if you live in a potential "hit" zone.
Trust me.
Some people are still without power here after Fabian hit Sept. 5th. They are identifyable by the look of misery on their faces and the unkempt look that naturally goes along with being unable to shower at one's leisure.
My generator will arrive next week. :)

Looks like from the current plotting, I better bring in the lawn furniture...:( :eek:
