Hurricane Ivan

---

... Is anyone payign attention to it? It's level has ben upgraded to an F5.

Yeah, I've been lookin' at it. The last hurricane swept over my home town as a tropical storm... I heard Ivan wiped out about 90% of barbados.

Picture shows the latest damage caused...

Yeah my poor grandma is being evacuated again. It's terrible.

I wonder how long Florida will last.

go down and find out for us

I'd love to. You'll get the bill with the travel expenses by mail.

probably cost more to send it to the uk lol

I will go :grin: I will make a list of military gear I will need, a capable vehicle, and a pack of Black & Milds. Will also need: Smith and Wesson .45, to get those damn looters. Teach them to fuck with people when there at there low :angry:

In reply to:Yeah, I've been lookin' at it. The last hurricane swept over my home town as a tropical storm... I heard Ivan wiped out about 90% of barbados.Terribly, but it was 90% of Grenada..i feel so bad for those people..they must rebuild everything

im so damn lucky, its probly headed my way actually, i live in NC

Not it's not headed your way, it's most likely going to hit GA or LA

i bet you 20 dollars were gonna get hit, nothing major in 5 years, were way over due for a load of shit

@Panda: Where exactly are you? I'm in Raleigh.

And I doubt were going to get hit... the last 5 (estimation) times they'd say we have something major (i.e. Isabelle(sp)) or a bunch of these other storms, we've only gotten rain and wind. I for one don't believe the weather forecasts anymore as everything they've said has been false during this whole hurricane season, obviously they don't know how to predict hurricanes.

Wilmington; but um were seriously WAY over due for something major, last thing was floyd 5 years ago which was just alot of water, and the only MAJOR storm while i lived here was Frances

I agree, it will be hard for them to rebuild. But if they persevere it will be done. It was hard here in Nova Scotia last Sept after hurricane Juan hit. Worst thing to hit us in a long time. We had plenty of help though, and I hope that the places hit by hurricanes this year will have plenty of aid given.

I doubt the hurricane up there wasn't anything like Ivan will be! Hurricanes derive in warm water and for a strong one to make it up there would be unlikely. Ivan, as of this morning was upgraded to a F5 with 160mph winds. Making it the fifth strongest hurricane ever.

yes i know but by the time it got to us it wouldnt even be a three, unless coming of floridas coast it got caught by a heat front and strengthened a bit, and fran was a very high 4, it was like 150 at some point

Just because we haven't gotten anything in 5 years (I've only lived here for 2 years) doesn't mean we have to get something now.

Hmm, just trying to relate and give my best to others with the hurricane worries. Didn't mean for it to become; "who has had a worse hurricane." (I believe ours was only a Category 2 hurricane (as compared to the F5 Ivan), with 100mph winds) Glad I wasn't in the path of it, seeing as I had gone out of town.
