Re: Florence is a monster

I'm sick to death of these scumbag "nasty" hurricanes coming from the right. Why can't there be lovely and fluffy ones coming from the left?

I agree completely . A VERY wise policy. They are the experts.
What I meant that hurricanes are tragic. We live in a tornado zone and got struck by one last year. Luckily we were ok.
I’ve only seen movies with hurricanes at sea but they look bad in those. Does that count?

If they didn’t accept my dog then I’d have to pass.

I was on a 100,000 ton tanker. The waves smashed our 'Bridge' windows several times.

Re: Florence is a monster

Wow! I just watched a destroyer ship bob up and down in the waves from a hurricane. That’s scary stuff. I love the water but you wouldn’t get me volunteering to do that.

Re: Florence is a monster

just for general interest, a mandatory evacuation does NOT MEAN people are forced out of their homes. the police can not, will not arrest people if they refuse to leave. All a mandatory evacuation really means is that if you don't leave. and then need help during the height of the storm, you will be told "Sorry, you were warned. We will not now risk our lives to save yours."

Every year there are always tons of people you refuse to leave. I remember Hurricane Camille. 19 adults held a "hurricane party". None of them survived.
