Getting ready for ANOTHER HURRICANE!! :(

BT Tech · 10-23-2005, 07:26 PM

[attachmentid=694][attachmentid=692]So here I am sitting on the computer with my Prius tucked away safe and sound in the garage..... For now!! Funny thing was that today was quite nice outside. If it wasn't for the satellites up there telling us that this monster storm was on its way, no one would ever know!!

All of the preparations have already been complete... All lawn furniture has already been brought inside, plenty of food and water... The generator all fueled up and connected to the breaker panel..etc...etc...

I have lived in South Florida for over 20 years and I have NEVER had to endure so many frigging hurricanes and tropical storms that we had in the past year!!

Oh well.. For those of you out of harms way PLEASE keep us Floridians in your thoughts and I hope all of us get through this with MINIMAL damage and disruption to all...

Thanks!!

It has been a rough season. At least this one seems to be a bit more milder than some of the others.

Good luck!

Wishing all of Florida a 'safe trip' on this latest hurricane 'ride'.

Is there any way to get your car to the second floor? You could move out stuff like furniture, your wife and kids, put the dog in the Prius!

Actually good luck! This defiantly has been a bad season and I hope the northeast is not next. I was in a category 1 hurricane once many years ago and anything greater makes me soil my pants. Let us know how you do as soon as you can.

Here's wishing you and yours the best of luck.

It will sure be good once this hurricane season is over with!!!

Um, this should be in the Pancake House.

Yeah, I've been sick of this since last year's busy season.

Working with the City, I have to camp out at the EOC as communications / protocal / webmaster. While everyone else bail's out or hunkers down at home, I sleep on a cot. <sigh>

Even though we are not close this time 'round, we are still partially activating the EOC in the city and have told non-essential employees not to come in. After Katrina, everyone gets a little nervous

here is our City's site: www.eustis.org You can see the link to the EOC on the home page. It's also called "emergency management" Oh, and notice all the earth-friendly stuff on the homepage - that's my eco-friendly nature showing...I got free reign of this site.

It ain't as good as this website...but for about 10 minutes of maintenance per day and being free for the taxpayers, it'll do

Be safe. Good luck!
