Afternoon all...

Went to bed at 11 or so last night and slept till 1:30 today. Man did I need that...how I slept through Ivan's tropical downpours and winds this am is beyond me but I don't care.

Haven't checked any of the models or read JB...just your posts...this accuweather vs. the nhc and other media bashing is getting out of hand...it's like sides are being taken, lines are being drawn in the sand and it's not good or healthy right now. Most of you have been through hell and those who haven't are lucky. The last thing we need on this board is fighting over whether JBs forecast will verify 6 days down the road. I subscribe to accuwx but I think they're wrong with Jeanne but they may be right and only time will tell...it's as simple as that!

People are going to be in therapy after this season with post traumatic stress disorder! Many who have taken the time to post here don't even have homes to go to or if they do, they can't get to them...save your energy for helping them!!!

Still haven't heard from rickonboat...anyone care about him???

JK and Coop had a twister almost land on their heads DURING a CAT III!

Countless others probably fared even worse!!!

I've been letting everything through with very few exceptions but I'm getting a little tired of what has gone on since yesterday with the personal attacks.

Back to the weather for a moment...

I'm not even going to attempt to predict Jeanne...I'm getting ajida (sp) just thinking about her.

Ivan...his remains blew thru here early this morning...tremendous lightning and winds (considering he's a remnant low) easily gusts to 50 mph...Very windy still...I live on the first floor of a condo and the winds ripped a section from the third floor partially off (I have no idea what material it is...the building was built in the 50's and is primarily concrete, but this is some strange material), and it is now banging into my bedroom window...maybe I'll take a photo for upload later. Lots of limbs down, yadayadayada...

But that's not what I noticed most...popped on twc and the strangest thing I ever saw...this puppy was chugging ne and all of a sudden a piece split off over jersey and started heading south...maybe that piece of energy can do what was predicted and reform and head south...who knows with this system...

A'ight [tm HF], sorry for the rambling, but we all need to support each other not argue over the networks and the models!

PEACE!
