Anastasia Report post Posted July 8, 2005 LAME. Category 5 (or so I've heard) It looks like it's going to be hitting west of Okaloosa County, which means we'll get the east side of it. There are some mandatory evacuation orders being issued, and I'm still not sure whether or not they include my house. I hate hurricanes. Ivan was enough for me, thanks.

Be strong and you will pull it through . 178054[/snapback] My friend had something similar to that in his away message for the first tropical storm that came through... which did nothing to anything and they made a lot of hype over nothing. Something like... "In response to tropical storm (forgot the name), President Bush has declared war on (said storm) and launched missiles." But somehow it related that the missiles were going to Iraq (or maybe Iran?), North Korea, and one other place. It was pretty funny... ----- We're not evacuating. Which is good. I hope the power doesn't go out. I think we'll be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We won't know until tomorrow. They keep changing the course of the path, so it's going further and further west. At one point it was right over us. Now we're getting the east side (which is the worst part of the storm). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daxon Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Now seriously, Ana, I hope nothing bad is going to happen to you,your family or your property. Be strong and you will pull it through . 178054[/snapback] No.. no, you see, the more property damage, the better. Ana and her folks won't have to pay for it.. the insurance company will. AND THEY DESERVE TO PAY! Kidding. Stay safe Ana. I bet insurance in Florida is through the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
