Oh boy, here we go again! Hurricane breathing down my neck

Hey! I was in tropical storm Amelia>

in '78 delivering kitty litter to Wynn-Dixie stores in Houston. The rivets of my freightliner cab were virtual faucets! Throw in two Minn. tornadoes in 1950's childhood-spent in the basement....and my thoughts are with U! Hopin' it dissipates down to a 'tropical storm' on landfall.

Just saw a wind animation of it, and it does not look good, State governor has called in additional federal aid and warns the population that this is becoming a big one. Hunker down, Neal, and keep your head down and safe. I wish you best luck!

I watched several taifuns and hurricans on this site in the past years - cannot remember that any of them illustrated such fast rotating eyes (winds at the centre) like this one currently does. Frightening

Additional Federal aid is ongoing. Sequin, Denton, Roseland and of course Fort Worth TX(FEMA distribution center) are staged with relief supplies.

Batten down the hatches and protect the beer.

Pictures or didnt happen!

Relax Neal, forecasters always blow it out of all portion. Stick on a collections of films you like and lots of cold beer will see you though.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Seems like yesterday you were digging out from underneath Katrina. Wishing you the best, Neal. It beats an earthquake but hurricanes are not fun, even if you personally don't take any damage. Report in when you can and be safe.

actually; having survived '1989's Loma Prieta and two Napa quakes in a decade with foundation and brick chimney damage...I prefer the earthquakes to an out and out hurricane. Two tornadoes in Minnesota were the most dreadful; the first time I, age 6, ever saw fear in adults (mommy) and us kids pronto into the Southwest corner of the cellar as we heard the unmistakable reverberating-throbbing sound of an uber-locomotive in a tunnel bearing down, seemingly on you, in torrential rain with major thunder and lightning...

U can 'stock up' for hurricanes, floods and 'quakes ...tornados are pure demons and escape is by the grace of god alone...and a decent cellar.
