First Taste of the Hurricane Season

[Balanc3]

We are finally getting our first taste of this years Hurricane Season, Hurricane Dennis is making his way. I just caught word that Tourists are being asked to evacuate the Florida Keys. This one looks like its gonna stay in the Gulf and head up toward Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia... but it could pull a last minute right turn like Charlie. This storm comes early, since our first 'Cane wasn't until last September. Here's the projected path:

I really wish it would turn west towards Texas. We've been in a drought for like 2 months now. It's drier than Dick Cheney's arteries here.

Here we go. Lets just hope for the sake of all those people in Fla that this yrs hurricane season is not as bad as last yrs.

Here we go.

My thoughts exactly. My city has to run out of luck sometime and get hit. Hopefully it's not this year.

even in atlanta we felt the hurricanes last season. my apt complex flooded in the old culdasac we were in. roughly 40 apartments had 12-36 inches of water in them.
gonna be moving to Tampa at the height of hurricane season this year, so i too am hoping its not as severe as last year.

^ I hope not for all the MS'ers that live down in Fla. You guys went through hell last yr. I can't imagine it being any worse then that. You all could come and live in Ohio. HAHA.

We'll rent a bus and come spend the month with you Rewing. Hope you have enough food, beer, and treats. Might be a while until they restore power at least.

I've heard the same. I'm sure it can be worse than last year, but damn, I sure as hell hope it isn't. :?

[Jibgolly]

i have no deep knowledge of this, but didnt weathermen last year say it was gonna be really bad for the next 30 years or so due to some weather change in the arctic?

I spent 24 years of my life in Ohio......and I will never go back. The winters are awful. Id rather deal with hurricanes then blizzards any day.

It was due to some kind of weather pattern shift. Maybe Hollywood was trying to tell us something with The Day After Tomorrow.

[Jibgolly]

i'd like to tell hollywood a thing or two about that uber piece of flailing dog shaft.

I heard this as well, I took it as scare tactics since last year was a bad season.
