Well if you live in on the east coast of the US anyway.

Better start stocking up on that good old duct tape to stick to the windows.

That pic is amazing. Hurricane = Cyclone right, just twists the other way?

In the Pacific, we calls them "Typhoon" and they\'re much much BIGGER than the ones that hit the US.

There were about 30-40 utility trucks going north on the interstate when I was driving in to work.  Ah, the beauty of natural disasters to make mad cash.

Post by: GmanJoe on September 16, 2003, 05:33:58 AM

Roofers and handymen, eh? :p

Title: Hurricane Isabelle is coming!
Post by: videoholic on September 16, 2003, 06:15:36 AM

Pole workers.  tons of those trucks that drill to put in new power lines and tons of bucket trucks.  That must be some major cash because people want power back right away.  I bet they make a bleeding fortune.

I\'m glad they went back to naming them after women again.  As it should be.  :)

Post by: GmanJoe on September 16, 2003, 06:50:45 AM

Did they? I thought it was alternating between men and women\'s names.

Title: Hurricane Isabelle is coming!
Post by: JBean on September 16, 2003, 07:43:17 AM

Since I don\'t live on the coast it\'s no fun to see the hurricane weaken.  The winds have dropped off considerably.

Title: Hurricane Isabelle is coming!
Post by: videoholic on September 16, 2003, 10:26:04 AM

Winds always drop off.  And hurricane force winds don\'t go very far inland.  Only people who really get nailed by a hurricane are the people who live on or very near the beach.  People live on these barrier islands because they are beautiful.  But you know what, there is a reason for the barrier island.  They keep the huge waves from nailing the actual coast.  

There is an intercoastal waterway all the way up the east coast.  If you live on it then you get rocked during storms.  Plain and simple.

But the people understand this and just rebuild.

Exactly, it\'s nonstandard.

The darn gen Yers can\'t figure out how to speak correctly so they just make up new words and shit.

Thanks for looking that up for me.  Saved me the hassle.  ;)

Well it hit somewhat hard here in maryland.  My power has been out for nearly 2 days and I have just been able to get back to work today.  Downtown baltimore is under up to 7 feet of water, and nearly 1.1 million people in maryland are without power.  They are saying we won\'t get power back until early next week.   :(
