The furthest north I've ever lived was Atlanta, GA. and I got my fill of scraping ice off my car for good.

So true hassel. That's the main reason why I try to go to Flordia every winter. Considering that Missouri will be under a foot of snow by that time, a round wouldn't be too bad

I wish I had the distributorship for plywood or Tapcon screws. I went to Home Depot earlier...there ain't a concrete anchor to be had.

Heh, those are things we have no shortage of in my house. My dad is a general contractor, sooo... we have hell of Tapcons, plywood, etc.\

Oh yeah, and Ivan is going to be a pussy.

Well I guess the only positive things that have come from these hurricanes have been that each time one of them hit, I get three days off of school.

ChocolateMoose · 11-09-2004, 12:36 PM

Well apparently (according to The Times today) the recent weather - 3 hurricanes in Florida, floods in Bangladesh and the UK, fires in some American states etc - is a glimpse of what the weather is going to be like in a couple of years time when Global Warming is in full swing... anyone seen 'The Day After Tomorrow'? That could happen in the future at the rate we're going. Its scary. Someone they interviewed in the paper asked why people are so scared of terror attacks when theres huge weather events looming right around the corner, which will affect everyone, and we (i.e. the world's population...mainly America (as they haven't signed some documents about reducing it or something... :icon_redf)) don't seem to be that concerned about it. And I agree.

Yes, I saw the DAT, but that is semi-true. The world goes into an "Ice Age" every 20k years of so, but DAT made that happen in 2 weeks or so. Our planet is indeed heading into that direction, but it won't happen for A LONG TIME.

Like, after we die long time:P

Ooh yeah, I know that. TDAT has the most ridiculous time scales I have ever seen in a movie - "there will be floods in 1000's of years if we continue...blah blah blah" [cut to grapefruit sized hail stones in Japan and tsunami's in New York] - lol! Its just that that could happen in a VERY VERY long time and not suddenly like that, it'll just get worse and worse and build up to things like in TDAT. Someday, maybe.

Here is a good picture of Ivan.

Cool pic.

Sarah · 12-09-2004, 02:21 PM

Wow. What a beast! Its our own fault he's alive... so we shouldn't complain.

I don't know, if that thing ripped all my property from the ground..I think I'd have the right to complain. It must be odd having something as treacherous as Ivan named after you.

frodo1511 · 13-09-2004, 08:52 PM

Good news for Flordia: It appears Ivan will move off into the Gulf of Mexico, and spare the state. But, that means that residents in Alabama and Mississippi are now in it's way

Jacoby · 13-09-2004, 08:53 PM

Horray for Flordia! :P

Louie · 13-09-2004, 09:02 PM

Damn, the hurricane's not hitting. That means I am going to have school this week, shucks.

frodo1511 · 13-09-2004, 09:04 PM

Better to have school and not a house:P

Louie, I still think that you'll get some decent rain and wind, considering that the storm's almost as big as the gulf is.

acliff · 13-09-2004, 09:22 PM

Considering we can feel the secondary effects of the storm thousands of miles away in England, annoyingly windy, gusty, horrible and wet, I can only begin to understand how crazy it must be over there.

I don't know what's crazier...the actual weather of the storm or the hysteria that has gripped this area for weeks. We've pretty much been on high alert for a month and a half.

Bad news for Florida theres another one on the way.. I think called Jane I think

hasselbrad · 16-09-2004, 06:02 PM

Jeanne. Hopefully this bitch won't get a chance to strengthen. They're predicting that she's going to go right up the east coast of Florida. They haven't gotten much right this hurricane season, so I'll believe it when I see it.
