She e-mailed you and not me?

I'm shattered.

I dunno about Ivan. Still way too early to tell if it'll even threaten Florida or how big it'll be.

Boo for having one of our best users away from here. Heaven knows we are short around here as it is.

Yeah but it's something that's unavoidable. If a hurricane's going to hit, it's going to hit... taking care of yourself is the most important thing.

THEN when the power comes back on you're expected to talk about it.

Colleen, I e-mailed you. Maybe I have an old addy, I'm not sure. I e-mailed a few here, but only two people e-mailed me back (you rock!!!).

Anyway, I don't feel like repeating myself, so I'm going to post my journal about the hurricane soon.

This was one of the slowest hurricanes in history, and you thought getting hit by two hurricanes within three weeks was bad....Ivan is set to hit us and it's going to be worse than the other two.

I'm highlt thinking about going to Ohio or Atlanta for this one. Mentally, I don't think I could take this one.

Hey Sion, if you don't think a hurricane is bad, you should do a google search and look at some pictures.

This hurricane, West Palm Beach, which is north of me, got hit. We here got some damage aswell, but nothing that major, since we were to the left of the storm, which is the weak side.

I just hope that Ivan doesn't hit us...if it does, I'll be MIA this next weekend as well.

Edit: Lost power for four days, BTW and within those four days, I got about six hours of sleep.

The first time, yes. I didn't know if Neko was talking about a more recent (like yesterday) e-mail. If so, I didn't get it.

The odds of you guys getting hit with three in a month are pretty slim, so try not to worry about it.

Yea, but the odds of getting hit by two haven't happened since the 1950's, and that just happened.

Images from Frances

Aftermath pics
On this set, make sure you look at picture number 17. I've seen that before with another hurricane that I went through when I was 12.

Early part of Frances

Central Florida which is Kirbynite's area.

Ivan

And Colleen, the only ones that got any other e-mails after that, were the ones who e-mailed me back the 1st time.

Ivan... You know.. I can take a wild guess that school children are enjoying every moment of this Though.. at this rate.. I think summer vacation may be coming in a wee bit late thanks to the loss of classes.

*jabs in the air* C'mon... I'll take you on, Ivan.... *watches a tree fly by* Nevermind *runs*

Crazy Ivan...

Picture 17 is a classical picture showing the power of hurricanes. I'm glad your here in a one piece now, and I really hope the next one dosen't hit you people.

This is just sad:

~~

More Than 170 Items Listed On e-Bay

POSTED: 6:32 am EDT September 7, 2004

For anyone who didn't get enough of Hurricane Frances, remnants of the storm are for sale.

More than 170 items are listed on e-Bay's Internet auction site after the eye of the Category Two storm came ashore.

The starting bid for Tupperware filled with wind was a penny. Photos show Broward County residents running around catching the wind. A $10 bid is in.

Somebody had bid $6.99 for beach sand collected by a Broward County surfer.

Three Frances survivors bid 15 cents each to have a woman pray for them.

One-cent vials of rain that fell in Orlando drew no bids, and nobody was looking for the T-shirt a woman wore through the storm.

~~

I could make a lot of money....let me just go to the beach really fast...anyone want to buy some sand? XD

Also, about 1.3 million people are still without power, and about 3 million people in total were in the dark at some point during the hurricane.

I'm really sorry to hear you guys are getting hit so hard down there. Three hurricanes in 1 months time get really get to ya. Good luck with everything down there Anya. I would suggest you head out of the state for the next one....

Whoa, that looks really bad, I suppose inthe Karmic nature of things, you lot DESERVE all that Sunshine I'm so jealous of.

I'm sorry for not replying to your E-mail, but as I heard that powerlines were going down everywhere I assmued you wouldn't get it, nor be able to get near a comp. I guess I was wrong - I'm sorry

I'm so glad you'#re OK, the images on the news have been catastrophic and I've been worried sick.... so.. when ARE you going to enter the undies comp then (J/K!!!)

Ivan sounds ltough, you know if I was religious, I'd say this is god's wrath for all the innocents who've lost their lives recently, both in Iraw and in Russia.....

But hey,. I'm not. Weather sucks.

Well let's see here... *does math* Hurricane Andrew?! Am I thinking of the right storm?

Growing up watching the weather channel, I've seen the damage a hurricane can cause. Why do people still underestimate that force? Pick your fights, but never go against nature's wrath.

Track Ivan. From the looks of this map (updated 9-8-04 at 4:30 am) Ivan will pass under Florida and hit Lousiana instead. Hopefully you are in the clear this time around.
