garymd Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'll be shutting down shortly. I'm not as bold as Kelly. I've got all my cords running to my generator along with my submersible pump and tarps where my basement sometimes leaks. It's starting to rain pretty hard now and the wind is picking up quickly. We've got plenty of food and water and probably my brother and his family coming over soon. I just spoke to my son and he and all his friends are sitting around getting trashed while waiting for the worst. As expected. Good luck to everyone in the path of Isabel and I'll be back when I can. Am I over-reacting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodog Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 My thoughts are with you and your family. Here's hoping there's no damage. Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I am watching live coverage of it, but the coverage is not so good. Not to mention it's nothing but beach shots which don't give you a good feel for how bad it is. Again Gary, your son is a young buck! He is having a blast I bet. No fear for him.

mobile homeless Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 REO Speedwagon? Another one comes out of the closet! heh.... Gary, you can take solice in the fact that this beast is now moving over 25mph which will make it a lot better for you as it wont sit too long. Hey Moon, you watching the Weather Channel and the shots of the Outer Banks? Looks pretty hairy to me as the storm surge went over the island in many places. MAny parts of 12 are underwater and 158 is also covered many places. There are reports that it's the worst flooding there in over 50 years. CBS has some good footage as well. AGain, our beach had hurricane force winds at times but since it was OFFSHORE, we were spared much of the water damage. It was a great show here but the loons a few miles to the north werent as lucky. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 mobile homeless Na... i am watching live coverage over the internet here at work. Actually what I am watching/listening to while I work appears to be more of live behind the scenes of the reporters themselves... I have heard them curse, whistle and chat amungst themselves and do pre recording of bits for various different news channels. I wish I could find something more interesting. However I did know of the one death in Virgina before they even reported it... The news anchor was talking to one of his informants about it. That was about 30 minutes ago, they JUST now reported the death in a pre recorded news bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Well, I, for one, have absolutely no plans to yield so much as an inch to this storm. I'm staying put; I'm leaving all of my equipment connected; I plan to use my equipment as if there are no hurricanes anywhere; in other words, thumb my nose at nature's fury and conduct business as usual. BTW, I'm in southern Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnsonhp Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 "Golden Country" - REO I like the live version I recall naming them "Air-E-O" after the Hi Infidelity lp. It's hard to be cool talking about REO...thinking about the Vanilla Pepsi commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 My guess is Gary has no power. Let's hope he dosn't have any water in the basement and that there is no other significant damage. Positive thoughts & prayers are in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
