I notice there is quite a few stangers on here from Florida. How did you guys make out with the storm? is your car ok? oops..i mean...are u ok?

 

car: fine
me: fine

It was heading straight at us, but then turned south and we got a little rain....I'm sooo blessed.

 

damn the luck

 

I was in the one of the baddest counties hit. I left my car out over night no damage but it looked like a freaking chia pet when I got out in the morning then had to drive back to Orlando in the nasty *** gusts of wind. My home away from home got a little roughed up but nothing a hammer and nails wont fix.

*I drove as fast as I could to get the hell away from the tornado that was about less than a mile away. Scary s*** right there

 

wow....

it must be scary seeing a tornado.. I have never seen one in my lifetime.

 

lol...I live in Volusia country, all I got was 30-40mph winds...but i ordered pizza from pizzahut and i tipped the guy only a 1.20 when i made a 27 dollar order, i think he scratched my car... ...other than that me and my car r fine...

 

It's pretty cool watching it from the top of the bridge I was on driving away on but I saw the damage it did about a few beers later......I mean hours and it ripped the roof off some apartments and there were trucks just hauling a ton of crap away....thats the closest i've ever been to one.

 

Thats the closest i would ever want to be to one

 

LoL yeah Spin text me that after noon and was cryin about the hurricane...I'm up here in Tally, we just got some clouds, not even rain, but down in Pompano where my family is, my uncles condo got trucked...windows out, furniture destoryed, building might be condemed...

As for tornados my father is in charge of all the observing systems for the National Weather Service...aka the guyz that go chasin tornados work under him...he's got some crazy pictures in the office. You DO NOT wana be near one of those things, the wind power is worse then being in the eye of most hurricaines...!

 

Here is my parents house its in sattelitte beach which is right off of melburne.
this is from saturday and sunday.

 

Well, at least it stopped before it came in the house I guess...

 

Yeah driving back to Orlando from Melbourne really sucked on Monday I should have left right after work. Damn hurricane party.....lol

 

I live in Jupiter, FLorida and it sucked. The eye of the hurricane went right over us. Mustang is good, just reallll dirty and has a bunch of dried up grass and dirt on it, a nice car wash will get rid of it. The worst thing about these hurricanes for u guys who dont have to experience them is not the hurricane itself, but the days after. You really dont notice how much you depend on power until you live without it for a couple days in hot weather. Luckily for us, the past couple of days has been some nice, cool weather and it hasn't been hot out. We just got power about 30 minutes ago. Best thing about Hurricanes - NO SCHOOL!!!! Im missing about 5 days of school for this thing.

 

Is it me, or is standing in that water during/after a hurricane a stupid thing to do?

Ive got family in marco island and my dads condo is being built currently on the edge of the everglades in naples.

 

ps thats my dock my sister is standing on in the 2nd pic which is normaly 4 feet above the water line...

 

why is a big fish gonan come and eat you lol. there is no power so it doenst matter. plus its the ocean, i wanted to boogie board in the canal. if i lived there that is.

 

big fish gonna jump over them poles and dive down on your sister, head first...

 

...do you have no shame! LoL...

 

hey grimmz, there is no wind in the eye of a hurricane. it's dead calm no rain or wind. the eye was over us for about an hour. my house is still without power. we just got power back here at work last night. my car is fine (it was in the garage) my truck has a couple dents, my friends car had the front bumper ripped off and it was right behind my truck. another friends roof was ripped off of his house. my fridge, my tv, cable box, water pump and water heater all burned up. from either surges or from the generator. all have been replaced except the tv. temperatures were nice out for about a week but its starting to get hot out again. i hope we get power back soon.

 

That sucks - I got power back about a day after the storm hit so I was one of the first to get it back. Great thing with these hurricanes - Havn't had school for about a week and 3 days and dont have it tomrrow! School still does not have power!

 

you might not have school now but you'll be making it up later. they take away your days off and add on a couple days at the end of the year.

 

Actually with our school its a private school so they do it a bit different. Instead of having a day off of school , they will give us a half day instead, and the days we would normally have a half-day they make a full day. It reallly aint that bad. Plus seniors graduate about a month before everyone else in our HS so we might not have to make up some days.

 

well my car is all scratched up called my insurance company still waiting for the adjuster to call me. beside that traffic in miami is out of hand. it is almost like the hurricane blew away peoples common sense

 

lol its the same up here. With the intersections still not having traffic lights, people act like they have never drove before.

 

LoL sry bro but they've been doin that before the hurricaine...LoL...thats bad being that i'm used to terrible DC drivers....
