Well, my dad just left from helping my put up the shutters over my bedroom window. I've lived in South Florida my entire live, through Andrew and a few others, but I have never really felt like this. Maybe when you are younger you feel safe under the veil of your parents' protection. Or maybe that I've worked so hard to get my new place put together that I can't stand the thought of anything happening -- let alone loosing everything.

I think my gf, my cat, and I will stay with my folks to weather the storm. Advantage of being on the 3rd floor -- no flooding; disadvantage -- bye, bye roof-ie.

Cheers! Drink one for me, because I'll be drinking plenty come Friday night.

I'm in the same boat only a little worse. I live in east Orlando and from the lateset projections Orlando looks screwed.

I live in tampa and it looks like were going to have another near miss. anyone in need of a place to weather the storm, no pun intended, can stay at my place. I have some extra room and beer.

You know the North East is Beautiful this time of year.

Eh, stop worrying. Stiltsville is still standing after all these years, right?

Or maybe... just maybe, it's because you've turned into a complete wuss in your old age.....

And then you get a little older and worry less... my dad slept thru Andrew, tho we weren't near the eye. We had Category 1-2 bands from it.

Are those a step or two above garage bands??

I think they are like Good Charlotte

I think they are like Good Charlotte

Is that a crap band?

Yes...

Yeah, we never even lost power during Andrew. But, after all the prep work toady, I'm spent. Seeing as I did so much today at work, my place, and parents', the stoopid storm probably won't come. [quickly knocking my desk]

Really, you can only worry about it so much...you live in So. Fl. Hurricane playground. Be safe, be responsible and plan ahead. That's all you can really do ( yes, I realize these aren't comforting words, but I've been there...done that and I know what it's like). Good luck...sounds like you are prepared and ahead of time...which is more than I can say for many Floridians!


Edit: aka...that meant have a beer and relax!
