I havent seen hurricanes do the loopty loop very often if ever either(Jeanne). Something is up with our recent weather patterns, it could have something to do with el nino or the greenhouse effect, you never know. Keep an eye on that fig tree man. "The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars/meteorites in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind."

The only good thing about hurricanes is usually you have warning so you can head out of town. But then again I guess that doesn't matter if you come home and your house is torn apart. 2 more hurricanes and it's an all time record for the most hurricanes since they have been recorded. I have been studying latley on why this may be, some say it's just the normal patterns and others say theres more to it. Warmer water could have some effect.
Jack Aubrey Posted September 26, 2004 Author Posted September 26, 2004 I talked to BSG this morning around 9. He and the family are all right, no power, and only a couple of trees down in a neighbor's yard which crushed a toolshed (no one was in it). He told me to tell everyone hello and that he looks forward to getting back on the board.
RushRevisited Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Awesome Jack glad to hear it, I was thinking about him when I saw the eye over his area this morning... Hurry back BSG!
The Notorious B.S.G. Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Thanks guys. And I sure hope our other Florida buds will check in soon, as well. Snowdog, Tide Pools, Scream, sound off, eh? I'm at my office now, which obviously has power. My home however, remains un-electrified. My local utility stated they had about 250,000 homes w/o power. Outages with other utility companies put those numbers much higher, of course. If we don't get some juice soon, it's hotel-time for me and mine. Another night of trying to sleep in such stifling conditions ("mott and huggy") is not high on my list of fun-things-to-do. I DID get a warm shower this am (for which my co-workers are grateful, no doubt). It's amazing how long hot water lasts in an electric water heater, if you conserve it. My son sits next to me here. For some reason, coming into an air-conditioned office w/ internet appealed to him this am, and I relented. I'm hard at work. (Yes, I am! It's called multi-tasking.) He's got Rush CD's, Gameboy, and snacks. So, life is guud, all things considered.
RushRevisited Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Glad you're ok BSG! I hope power comes back to you and all others soon!
Snowdog Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Well, we made it, thank goodness. And we didn't get the direct hit, just the "tropical storm" rains and wind. Had to do some fence repair again this morning, but I'd sure rather repair my fence than my house. The family is fine as is the house and the dogs. Still no electricity. I'm at "work" now so I thought I'd check in on everyone else. Power went out at 4:30 Sunday afternoon and still waiting to get it back. But if that is the biggest of my problems, then I'm doing pretty good. Scream, Tide Pools you guys ok?
Indica Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I heard that Jeanne is spawning some tornados in S. Carolina tonight. I hope Jack and his familiy are all OK tonight. Tornados scare me more than anything.

Watch those weather reports.
D-13 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I'm happy to see that you and your family are all right!!!
Jack Aubrey Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 Thank you Indy and BSG for the kind thoughts! Things are a little tense here tonight, and I had a glass of wine to steady my nerves a bit. She Who Must Be Obeyed is in Connecticut on a business trip and I therefore have no adult supervision. I have battened down all hatches, ports, and scuttles, set the storm canvas, and rigged lifelines along the weatherdecks. (Well, not really, but that sure is fun to say!) Seriously, I am flipping to the weather channel every time that its time for the 'Local on the 8's' and am ready to head for the bathroom with a stout quilt, radio, and flashlight should a twister be sighted (God forbid).
