Coco Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Hurricane Ivan is schedruled to hit florida on monday right now. Frances missed miami by a string, but maybe this one hits us harder? Its a category 4 now, but so was frances till it got 1-2 days away from coming. Thoughts on this one? Will it hit? Shito Ryu (3rd kyu) RETIRED - 2002-2003Now studying BJJ(2006)
gcav Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 I wish all our FL friends good fortune during this huricane season. Train like your life depends on it....Because it does.
Kicks Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) This is incredible, 1 tropical storm and 3 hurricanes in a month's time! As much as I don't want to see Ivan hit FL, I do hope it stays east of us (New Orleans). Hey, nobody's using Alabama and Mississippi right now, that might be a good place. Just joking ya'll!!!!

DLopez Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 It's been so long since a major hurricane has hit Texas, I get really nervous with each coming hurricane season. We're due. The last hurricane to hit the greater Houston area was Alicia. We did get dumped on by Tropical Storm Allison a few years back, but that was mostly flood damage. There was really no wind damage to speak of. We have gone relatively unscathed since then. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

Red J Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Kicks, watch it carefully and be prepared. After getting smacked around by Frances for 3 days, I can tell you it was not fun, especially sitting in a hot house with no electricity. It is supposed to be downgraded to a 3 when it hits. Hopefully it stays clear of you. Good luck. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Kicks Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Red J, Thanks. I lived through Betsy, Camille, Andrew, and many more. They are no fun. I won't be messing around with this one. when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes
Red J Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 That's a few. I've seen David, Erin, Mitch, Irene and now Frances. Andrew was only 60 miles south and had hardly a breeze in Palm Beach but it sure leveled Homestead. Camille was a beast back in '69. I hope that Ivan backs down. We don't need another catastrophic storm. I just talked to my brother in Panama City Beach and they are getting the evacuation order tomorrow morning. Stay safe. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Red J Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Kicks, have you evacuated yet? I heard that 1 million people in the New Orleans area just got the order to move. Good luck and keep us posted if you have internet access. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
