mobile homeless Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Ok.... Here is an MP3 file of the sound of Isabel at around 10:10am or so. To give you an idea, the rather sorry mic is a good five feet from the window and the outer wall of the room. You need to turn your volume up VERY loud to hear this to get the effect of what it's like in person. What you hear is a pelting rain on the one window in the corner. The very LOW RUMBLE is the actual sound of the wind on the corner of the house. It's a mediocre recording but better than nothing (perhaps not...heh). The .wav file has a lower extension of wind rumble which gets lost via the .mp3 conversion. Regardless, the volume on your side has to be VERY high to get the effect of what it's like here and still, it doesnt catch it. Hurricane Isabel - 10:10am - Turn up to full volume to get effect - .MP3 Yeah, it's rather lame but what the hell... kh ps- I just listened to this again... it's worthless. heh... I'll try to get something else a bit more representative. Lordy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I just got off the phone with my sister in Va. Beach. They are a bit inland. They have water coming down their chimney, have already lost about half their trees (the oaks will be the only ones left, probably), and the fence is already gone. They seem ready, though. The bathtubs are full of water for toilet flushing, and there's chicken marinating in Chiavetta's (good ole Western NY girl!! makes me proud!!) so they can grill it up when it all blows through. They are hoping the boat in drydock doesn't get flooded out and float off into the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you won't take offense of this but I do prefer the delicacy of my "Sounds of Canadian Nature" by Andrew Marshall (the genius behind Audio Idea Guide). Soundstaging is much better. Be sure to have two microphones in function when your beach facing siding will fly over your roof. It might give some impressive results. You know me, I am always looking for new reference recordings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reel 2 reel Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 My god that must be a big storm!!!!the outflow from it is here into central mich already. I can see the high clouds from the comp room here.....sorry I tried to make it a little smaller for those with dial up... one of these days I'll figure how to put the pict in the post here .......gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 HEh.... you froot. I will try to "do a remix" and get Audrus in here as another pair of ears. These h/k reference speakers are proving worth their weight in gold! They make my CW sound like two hens in a bathtub playing Crazy 8s! I hope that ole Beneteau is still upright after this. Too bad about the trees down in the Va Beach area. We have about 5700 without power now in New Hanover county. Meanwhile, I am right on the coast with the worst of the winds here lit up like a roman candle! Chris, I am getting ready to crack that bottle of red you sent for the special occasion! kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a cruise in the St-Lawrence river next year. I'm waiting for the remix and the poems... Any chance for a direct to metal mastering?

mobile homeless Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Since you are the only one reading this thread, I dont know if I can justify the expense. btw, the bands passing over right now are definitely the most intense. This place is rocking like a doomed cradle! There are a gaggle of drunken college students renting a house behind me and one of the clowns was out in this mess on his skateboard using the wind to propel him down the road.... These are the kind of good ole froots we have down here. I just saw some poor sap on the pier attempting to shoot some video as well. Cant wait to see how that turns out...you can barely see 30 ft! I am feeling writers block with this latest band. Besides, it's just you and me in this thread which has taken a turn for the worst, just like ole Isabel. Some of the Weather Channel footage is pretty impressive. Think of what you Quebec freaks miss out on up there. All you get are bad US tourists lumbering about. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey Kelly: Make sure to use your peripheral vision while typing and earsounds, plus gut feeling. Stay safe, as all love to see damage, we don't want to see you damaged. There's na person that is a pain and is not the most reputable that will be on later tonight, so I deleted the list and made it sound like not a fun place to come to. But my main feeling is for all to be safe, after all, who are we going to pick on or is going to pick on us but our family! Besides, we all post together well, what one may not know the other does. I found an advantage to webtv, pip while I'm on. Got the weather (whether?) channel. Glad you're physically alright, staying there? Well....... Just stay safe.

dodger Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey, I resemble that remark! Just wait until I go to Quebec, I have Diplomatic Flags, they will look appropriate on a 1985 Toyota Pickup won't they? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile homeless Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Send the Diplomatic Flags down this way! I need all the help I can get the next time I wander up that way. The last time I was in Quebec City, it was overrun by overweight Americans looking in all the wrong places... The lower city really is a tourist hell now - journey down there at your own risk. Frankly, I dont know how ole Jeffus puts up with it. Saturday night in the historic district reminds me of some bad frat party with better beer. We had to hunker down on his rooftop and stare at the horizon in an attempt to ignore the mutants below. On our way home, I actually mugged myself to end the misery. Thanks goodness for the fine food and beverage. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pretty much at peace rest of the year. Septembre is the best time around (to Chris... Heh!). BTW, Is it mandatory for all US citizen to wear Dr Scholl shoes when they leave home? Worst time to come here is during the February Break with the Ontarian teenage mutants on a rampage in bare shirt at minus 35 oC. I'd trade anything with anything with Dr Scholl shoes against those drunken puking mutants. Especially since I live 20 m from a bar...

Mallette Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'm still with you, too. Looks like Hatteras is going to get the eye. Hope the ol' lighthouse is well moored. Also, it's probably almost tornado time. Keep your head down. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
