This is why I hate living in Florida.

Tornado alley sucks, I plan on moving to Arizona where it's Sunny and 80+ all year round. Do they even have storms there?

No but my friend showed me a picture of a scorpion hovering over his bed when he woke up one morning.

Fuck.
That.

Not that I've heard of, but I love the weather here. Most of the time you won't even see tornadoes in tornado alley.

Another cool video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-K-bj8YhiQ A&M Grad Students watching it develop, MY GOD ITS A WEDGE. This is while it was F-3/4. It impaled cows killing them with the corn that it ripped up in that field.

[Koyuki]

Fuck, I'd kill for a hurricane or something exciting. Last big storm we had was fucking hugo.

I like how people go OMGHURRICANE over a fucking small shit-ass tropical storm. Like someone else said, unless it's a cat2+ hurricane, it's nothing.

And to whoever said hurricanes are killers, no, the hurricane alone doesn't kill very much, it's the idiocy of the people after the storm has passed that gets them killed.

And hurricanes are fun, imo. Yeah the 1-2 weeks of no electricity (depending on how bad the storm was) sucks ass, and it's fucking hot and humid as hell, and by the end of it you're about to go insane, but looking back they weren't that bad lol. The no school thing is always good though, and usually lasts for another few days-week-maybemore after your electricity is back and life returns to normal (*'-')b

Pretty much this.

Cancelled class for a teeny weeny bit of rain. LOL, didn't even hit us here.

[Pun]

During Wilma I had a FPL light pole fall 2 feet short of my house, lol. One of my bedroom windows broke and I had to stand there for a few hours bracing a giant cardboard poster over it so my room wouldn't be totally destroyed. Downstairs my sliding glass doors were buckling inward due to the wind so the rest of my family basically pushed against them the whole day so they wouldn't cave in and shatter. After the storm I didn't regain electricity for 37 days. At one point my dick nearly fully retracted from taking freezing showers everyday XD. I got the worst sunburn of my life since I just sat outside and read everyday.

The best part of this entire situation was watching some drunk redneck neighbor of mine from Indiana climb up our enormous Banyan tree with a chainsaw that fell over and blocked our road. He fell right off and broke his arm, and the ambulances couldn't drive in because of the tree. They had to put him in a boat in our canal and ferry him over to the street outside our community.

Of course Wilma wasn't nearly as bad as Andrew back in '92.

[ozz]

wilma was awesome, FEMA bought me a generator and a chainsaw and I got power back 3 days later

oh yeah and 3 weeks off of school

[Kobb]

I was only 7 when Andrew hit, but I remember this big tree we had in our front yard got flipped onto our roof. Miraculously nothing was damaged, but we had to use the sliding glass door in the back to get in and out of the house till my dad, grandpas and some neighbors finished chainsawing it down little by little.

The storms that hit South Florida a few years ago knocked out some people's power for months. The worst I ever got was 2 weeks without power.

[Plow]

eh, it's not terrible, I work in Newton lol. Didn't know you live(d) around here, you still do?

Yeah I live right down the road a couple miles from the new WSU west campus.


You ever folf? (frisbee golf) There's a great course in Newton I play at every now and then.

[Dayson]

Well my area got hit by the "full" force of Fay over the past couple days. I live about 10 minutes from the cape where they launch the shuttle. Pretty mild by hurricane standards... I only lost part of my pool screen and a tool shed. Didn't even lose power.

The real problem came from the rain. It began raining at 4am on Tuesday and hasn't stopped until a couple hours ago.

I could've rolled my boat down the drive way, put the motor down, cranked it over and puttered down my street if I had wanted to. My county has been under a flash flood warning for a day or so. Thank god the water didn't come through my front door.

The water will go down in a day or so, and then the real fucking horror of Fay will hit... the mosquito population explosion.
