Default South Florida hurricane party.

...in my pants!!!

HAHA ****!!!

lol. Sorry,...i'm sitting in the home depot parking lot right now in the escalade,....waiting on my buddies to buy some hurrricane shutters for there windows,...cause of the several storms heading our way. Kinda sucks, cause the preperation that you gotta go through for one of these things. Like, all the **** outside the house, that has to be put inside,..or strapped down. Plants, statues, grill,..etc. Do I put up shutters,...do you not.....am I gonna loose power.....is it gonna be bad....etc etc.

I'm not complaining,...not scarred, just aware of what one can do and wondering what everyone else in florida is doing right about now. I know I have to take peracutions with my vette. Probably gonna leave it stored at work, since I don't have any room at my brothers house, which is where I live. Anyways,...as long as I have power,...let it come,...I just plan on rubbing the ol ladies vagina,..watching movies,...and more importantly, getting in some HIGH QUALITY XBOX live time.

Wish you ******* the best that are in the path of the storm around the world.

Peace out,..best wishes.

Well, considering the track on Ike has changed with the last 3 updates, theres no telling where this thing is going.
As of 8 AM it was gonna be over Broward at 2 AM Wed, now they say at 8 AM on Wed it will be over the keys....lol.

Load up the cooler, crank the generator and deal with it....just hoping we do not lose power for 17 god damn days again!!!!!

Now they're saying it's heading more southward, and will probably nick the keys.

What a relief... I was just about to move the shutters out of the garage.

Haha, believe me I think there is a big misconception about earthquakes. I live about 2 hrs away from the biggest fault line (the San Andreas) and I have only felt 2 earthquakes in my whole life (im 33) Not saying there hasn't been other's, but Ive either been sleeping, driving etc and haven't felt them. I just think it's funny when people say "hell no Id rather have a tornado or a hurricane" are you crazy!! If you get anywhere close to the middle of that storm, its "guaranteed" damage. We can have earthquakes all day long and it doesnt hurt a thing, unless its a big quake 5.0+ and those dont come around every year like hurricanes.

Haha, oh well enough ranting

There are some parts of the country that don't have to worry about natural disasters as much...I live in KS and out of the 20 yrs I've lived here I've never even seen a tornado.
