kinda at a break in weather here. calmed down quite a bit. had a gust of 43 earlier. winds probably 20-25. the tornado's are what is getting us. they are finally moving to the north. jason says get ready for round 2 as comes ashore. don't know how much rain we have had but i drained the pool this morning and had to drain it down again about a hour ago. dock is underwater and just about over the seawall and we have high tide at midnight. frank i wish the best you are a whole lot closer than we are.btw was debating on staying home or going to inlaws. they had a tornado go over them. lost trees and have had now power since around 3. city of parker has curfew because of all the damage.glad we stayed home. lights have flickered but still on. tv said beach erosion will be bad. sorry to ramble but thats what is going on in pc

"Like a eagle in the sky of an hurricane that's abandoned, here come's the sandman..." I got that song stuck in my head, can't stop humming the tune. The Eagles rule.

I just spoke with my folks. Power just went out. Some small gusts and the water has risen a bit more in the canal by the house. They are going to check back in at ten.

Phil, it could have just as easily have been a Neil Young reference. Sky just went electric yellow here. Sometimes nearby to late afternoon t-storms or clouds, the sky will turn orange, pink, blue, green, etc. (even when I'm sober). This one's got that yellow tinted sunglasses feel to it.

Ivan the Terrible is pretty cliche but it sure seems appropriate. It's amazing that a storm can effect 4 states at the same time...Hell hath no wrath like Mother Nature in 2004. If the site goes down again it's probably me refreshing every 3rd second or so...I need a psychiatrist..

Here's one I found. Don't know the tune:
>"Hurricane Party" by Paul Sanchez
>from "Loose Parts"
>
>Verses (all verses the same):
> G C
>We had a little party me and my friends
> G D
>a hurricane was coming to New Orleans again
> G C
>somebody brought scotch somebody brought beer
> G D G
>I shoulda' kept the hootch and thrown 'em out of here
>
>Chorus:
> G C
>My hurricane party got out of control
> G D
>I'm lying in the gutter eating tootsie rolls
> G C
>with red-ant bites all over my ass

Might have had something to do with having jalousie windows. Do people still use those? Haven’t seen them in years.
Funny you say that about jalousies. I finally got scared enough to decide to replace the ones on my house. In fact, I am waiting for the dreaded window salesman now.
My thoughts are with everyone affected by . I drove from Miami to Pt. Charlotte two days after to check on my father in laws house. (snowbird) While his house was fine, I'll never forget what I saw at others who weren't so lucky. I even saw a mobile home with it's roof gone, but the insulation and celing still intact...go figure. Of course...so many others weren't so lucky...heartbreaking.
I wasn't here in Miami for Andrew, but will take hurricanes much more seriously. Plan to invest a lot of money in the house, a generator and get fully stocked on supplies each season.

Well, the says to close all windows and shutter them and don't open anything during a storm.
As far as jalousies, I think they fell out of favor because of air conditioning. They leak air like a sieve. In the days of no AC they made a lot of sense, they could be opened wide to allow air to flow through, and they didn't obstruct the view at all when closed because they were all glass.
But with hurricanes I would think they are no more or less safe without shutters than any other windows.

Buoy 42040, back on line. 52.5 ft waves. Surfs Up!
pressure 958mb. Buoy is 19nm North of the last position estimate.
How far will a 50 foot wave go inland?

>>> How far will a 50 foot wave go inland?
On top of a 16-20' storm surge and at high tide? Perish the thought....
