[inztrees]

hang in there and keep your head down Hoping the best from NH

 

[Old Monkey]

shoot yeah, hope you folks come out ok. why does the storm always get bigger as it goes north?

I think it gets bigger over the warm water of the gulf.

It is down to a Cat 2 over Cuba, good news for us, bad for Cuba. The models are showing it coming off Cuba a Tropical Storm, so as of now we are not leaving. Still early though.

Good luck with the storm, hope it stays well to the south.
Stay safe.

I'm glad you didn't have to leave home V. Does Palmer totally freak when a storm is coming? My dog was acting very strange Saturday afternoon, just before the remnants of Hannah hit us.

Palmer does not, but Renegade did. It was a little spooky yesterday, all the birds were gone. We have a bird feeder that they can empty in a day, and it is still full.

Maybe they watch the weather channel too!

Seems that animals are the ORIGINAL weather channel.

Glad it's looking better for you Gigi.

we would notice if all the birds left here, turkeys and grouse would have to leave weeks before the geese, theyd have to stop at the rest areas and catch their breath!

My last dog....with the unmentionable name....was a canine weather rock. There wouldn't be a cloud in the sky, but if he started acting up.....you knew something was coming. Same with the severity of storms. It didn't seem to matter if it was raining, or with him, even thundering....but if there were winds coming that we needed to watch at all, he'd be telling us first.

I can't believe another one is headed our way again.

 

[No_Bivy]

you'll jus get wet on this one.......

 

[vharrison]

I can't believe another one is headed our way again.

We dodged it, but did you see the wave that hit Cuba? Scarey stuff.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm outta touch with the news.

 

[SkwerI]

Here's the Key West radar image.

 

[MasterBlaster]

She's catching the dirty side, for sure.

 

[vharrison]

We have been experiencing the bands all night, but nothing to bad, tropical storm is about it. We'll take a ride around the island a little later, between bands and see what is what.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Just be glad you're not here Gigi, it was 58 degrees when I woke up this morning!!!

 

[vharrison]

Opps, we just lost power, I have a battery back up for about 20 minutes. Signing off for now.

If Ike comes to TX, I will be at the coast coordinating and selling this weekend.

Set it up last night. Now it is a wait and see.

Hopefully it comes into northern Mexico but if not, cash is king.

What will you be selling to help with recovery? Cash is king!!!

 

[wiltingoak]

Momma nature gonna bitch-slap us, eh Nathan?

Tree work

But only if it hits H town. Tree work needs to have trees + money. Houston is the 4th largest city in the USA - Corpus, not so big.

Lotsa drama in Austin about it. Cancelled the UT game. I am betting it will get so rough here I will actually have to take my wipers off of intermittent.
