lynwar Posted September 14, 2004 #402 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sue, I emailed you a few minutes ago. The concern is now posted on the main board by others-another storm. Lynne Ivan must have some more relatives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynwar Posted September 14, 2004 #403 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sue-received your replies. Thanks. So, tomorrow we'll start getting some serious rain and some storms from Ivan and then in a couple of days he should be out of our hair. I will be packing for our cruise this week while enjoying a pretty normal workweek-a relief. Goodnight for now. Take care Everybody. Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoniaG Posted September 14, 2004 #404 Share Posted September 14, 2004 :eek: The local meteorologists in New Orleans have models taking Ivan into this part of the coast. According to friends who just came back this afternoon, evacuation planning is well underway and the home improvement stores are already running short of plywood and generators. There's nothing between here and New Orleans except about 50 miles of swamp and marsh! Can't this sucker find a nice uninhabited beach to hang out on!

lynwar Posted September 14, 2004 #405 Share Posted September 14, 2004 It's interesting that Ivan is going into the area near New Orleans. I posted somewhere in one of the threads that our facility's podiatrist is a Ham Operator here in Florida and works closely with the local EOC. He predicted last week already that the Hurricane would end up in New Orleans. Now, if we'd only listened, those of us here wouldn't have had to worry-we would have known it would be going straight up instead of turning. We could have enjoyed our week! LOL I don't envy those folks up there. Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flintstone Posted September 14, 2004 #408 Share Posted September 14, 2004 How are you all managing to stay sane? Even Ben & Jerry's can't be helping!!!! At least here in Michigan when a tornado comes to woosh you to Chris' house its over quickly!!!! This waiting days....weeks is more than anyone should bear. My grandma used to say "God doesn't give you more than you can handle"...but do you ever think that he thinks WAY too much of you all!!! You are ALL an incredible inspiration!!

Brneyznfl Posted September 14, 2004 #410 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi, Pensacola is now on high gear preparing for this storm. Manadatory evacuations start in the morning. I'm all set to evacuate to the northern end of the county tomorrow to IMpatiently wait for Ivan to get here and then get the heck out of here. Good luck to others also on the Panhandle! I hope that the prediction holds out that it will make landfall as a Cat 3. instead of something worse. Lots of frayed nerves around here. :eek: Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffofirechick Posted September 14, 2004 #411 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Check the Princess website [url]www.princess.com[/url] for their hurricane updates, including detailed trip changes. There is a large icon for you to click on called hurricane info on the front page. My heart goes out to the folks in Florida, how much more can they take?

GloriaF Posted September 14, 2004 #412 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Jan, We'll have you in our thoughts and prayers. We were stationed at Eglin near Ft Walton Beach during Camille in the late 60's. (I think it was called Camille.) Sue, couldn't pull up your latest graphic, needed a password.

sue d. miller Posted September 14, 2004 #415 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Deb,(flintstone), When you go through this, and you come this close, you have two choices, panic...... notice Cape Coral,......[url]http://vortex.accuweather.com/phoenix2/images/common/radarplusgallery/040813/charley-1546-rad.png[/url] or keep your sense of humor, which keeps you sane....... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Miriam Posted September 14, 2004 #417 Share Posted September 14, 2004 OH NO :eek: . I heard last night that while it seems like there are a lot of hurricanes right now, that's really not the case. This is the peak of the season. I know, that's little consolation for anyone. I've been listening to my NOAA weather radio the past few days and at first we were being warned about high winds, flooding, etc. starting tonight. Now they're calling for it Thurs. night to Saturday - and I'm in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileyboy Posted September 14, 2004 #420 Share Posted September 14, 2004 As of this morning's news in Tampa, Jeanne was thought to be heading just north of the bahamas, then out into the Atlantic with no major threat to the US coast. She's not expected to exceed cat 1 hurricane, if she even strengthens that much. Hope that's some consolation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileyboy Posted September 14, 2004 #424 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah, I saw a guy interviewed (a Brit I think) who lives in panhandle, said "if it's a 4, we'll leave, but not if it's a 3"... does he have *any* idea??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintstone Posted September 14, 2004 #425 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sue..that graphic looks incredibly close to Cape Coral!! My husband's step mother lives there also...so we keep especially glued to your reports when we can't get thru to her! Thankfully...it looks like Cancun has been spared (again) and we're set to go this weekend. Still keeping our fingers (and toes) crossed for those in Ivan's path. I see the sink holes in FLA are starting to open up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
