Fwd: survived another one!

Glad to hear that you're still with us Joe! So, how 'bout them hurricanes ;P ? By the way, you wouldn't happen to know how bad (or good) NHC did with the forecast? I'm only asking because I work over at JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) here in Pearl Harbor, and we just love to make fun of those guys over there. It's funny that they say they're busy over there when there are only two storms. 2+ storms are the norm for us! And we don't get an "off" season (don't forget about the southern hemisphere!). Yeah, it seems like Florida, Taiwan, the Philippines & Korea are just bad places to live this year. ----- Original message ----- From: "Joe R." <rigdonj(a)cfl.rr.com> To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2004 13:16:30 -0400 Subject: survived another one! Second hurricane in three weeks!! Just got power back after hurricane Frances. This one was HUGE!!!! It reached from the FIorida Keys to Atlanta Ga! It started raining here Friday. HEAVY rain and winds all day Saturday and Sunday. More rain Monday (and a curfew in effect). Today (1:30 PM Tuesday) some rain bands are still passing through. Three tornadoes in this area yesterday and another today. The worst of the storm was south of us this time and everything around here that could be blown down was already down due to Charlie so now as much damage this time but HUGE amounts of rain. I set my canoe outside last week and it was FILLED completely full of rain by Friday night. Luckily Florida is flat so rain doesn't concentrate much. NOW it looks like we're in the path of Hurricane Ivan!!! It's scheduled to be in this area about Sunday or Monday. UnF***ING believable! joe
