Shit keeps shifting west. Right now, it will come over my house, but by tomorrow, I bet it's going to the panhandle.

Yeah, a roof that is fucking leaking where one side pitch meets the main roof, runs down the rafters and rips into the insulation and through to my dining room ceiling and the cunts haven’t had the time to get a crew out here to fix it.
Fuck it, bring on the hurricane. I don’t give 2 shits if a tree falls on my house.

I normally am of the mindest that I don't want these storms near me. Just too much hassle. BUT, I need a roof...so TURN EAST!!!!
I need a new kitchen, so I’d welcome a tree through that part of the house.

Well, 11 update has it farther west.
Of course it is. It’ll end to hitting La.

Do non-coastal Floridians freak out over hurricanes? My wife is from Ocala, we live in Jax and anytime they talk about a hurricane she freaks out and wants to run or hoard. Fucker has no chance of effecting us other than rain. Drives me crazy, we go through this every time. Only way Jax gets directly hit is if it’s a really really fast moving one, otherwise the shape of the coast pushes it north and storm surge is the only concern.
Unless extremely poor it’s idiotic for anyone not to have a weeks worth of supplies, particularly in Florida

We worry about power going off for several days, because Duke's infrastructure around here sucks, and we're not a top priority for restoration. Even a weakened storm this far inland can drop trees on lines.
Mrs. Pan is having me make a shopping list. Batteries, extension cords for the solar generator, soup, etc.

I root for them to come here. In 2004 when the 3 in a row came through, I was outside during the it playing with my dogs.
I do see people freaking out and the panic buying started this weekend. I noticed all the water was gone, canned soups, etc. yesterday. It's completely stupid. By the time land weakens it and gets to midland...we get summer storms that are worse.
Some downed limbs, but the biggest issues if it it hangs around and saturates the ground to the point of uprooting trees. But that takes a while. I really don't get the fear. If you live rurally and have bad electric service, I get stocking up. In the city, meh. Growing up int he country, I fill a tub with water just in case of the rare event that water goes down (once in my life time in Gainesville)
Yep, it didn't get bad here until the 3rd one because of that. I lived outside of town and clay electric went out every time the wind farted on any given day, so I lost power for 4 or 5 days on the last one. But it still wasn't that bad.52:20 said:
No power for a month in Frances. No power for a month in Jeanne. Lost a dock, two boats, and 10 dump trucks of shoreline. Worst hurricane(s) experience in my life. Well except getting caught in one in a 30 foot sailboat in the 80s.
Dirty port city anyway, fuck ‘em.
Sorry Gino.
Sorry Gino.
Slowed down a tad it looks like and shifted north. Head dead at us right now. I'd normally love this, but the timing sucks. I have a Dr appt I've been waiting on for 2 months at 8:30 Thursday morning. Well, I had one, I guess.
