Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well keep your eye on it guys, it is great that it has weakened again. There is a high pressure moving down from my area. (Great Lakes) They are saying this is making it very difficult to predict where it will be, how strong it will be and what direction it is going after Wednesday. We all know that what they are really saying is; "We don't have any fricken idea what it is going to do." So... stay alert, and watch out for the flood waters. "If you don't know (how deep it is) don't go." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Well been raining and gusty winds for 4 days now and to be truthfull getting DAM tired of it. Finely this crap storm is moving off today. Its not all that bad but haveing to drive into work in this crap has been a real adventure. I gess the airport director hasent got the hint that its dangerious to drive in this crap. He probley lives on the airport and doesent have to drive in it. Maybe someone should dragg the dummy out side and make him look up to see the storm. They managed to get a few flights in yesterday. So With our best intentions we are sending it away NORTH WEST! Today. Look forward to 4 days of rain and gusty winds. Edited August 22, 2008 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) One of them is a cat 4 and thats nothing to giggle at. This may get ugly Fast. Glade the levys held for ya there Hoss old buddie. The next one is due to go 200 miles off the east coast, north. The next one is the cat 4 and they are not sure where its going yet. So far its suppost to be at the bottom of florida next week. I gess I should get the generatior out and fire it up and test it out. I have 2 brand new window shaker air conditioners in the box still, from the last ordeal. Its not alot of fun after a caine has gone thru the area and power is down for 7 days. The humidy is at 100% and its 90 degrees for days after. NOT alot of fun. Time to start figureing out the load manageing proceedure again.
