My poor roof…... :(

I’m so sorry.  I hope you don’t get damage from this one… :(

Dammm Hurricanes :evil:

:shock:

It doesn’t bode well. Hang in there.

Wow…..this one is so much stronger than Frances, who hit the same place a few weeks ago.  I can honestly tell you that my area really dodged a bullet!  Areas just an hour or so north of me (Melbourne) are really taking it hard.  The only thing that makes me smile (sort of) is watching these weather reporters blow over on TV.  I am thankful that this time I may not lose power at all as the worst of the storm is moving away from my area.  Trees are down and power is out for many here, though.  My wife and kids stayed at a family member’s home and they lost power several hours ago.  Its ironic that I have not since they are only a few streets away.  It looks like my roof is holding up.  Thanks, guys, for thinking of me.  Hopefully in the morning I can help some people who did not fare so well.  Even now there are some heavy winds howling outside of my home.  Its a little noisy and scary.  I still can’t believe I have power. 

I’ll post again later.  I hope the rest of you are enjoying normal life.  

Did you guys hear that some 2,000 people died in Haiti from this thing?  Thats crazy!  Its like a mini 9/11.

TS-  I am sorry to here that.  I am glad to here that your roof is hanging in there. 

I couldn’t imagine how scary it must be.  I fell so sorry for those family in Haiti…..

:cry:

Families in Haiti have had serious problems long before this hurricane.

Yeah, the really sad part is looking at the people balling their eyes out as they watch a dead family member be rolled into a ditch because they simply cannot give a proper burrial to that many people.  I’m glad that drainage in the States is much better to prevent flooding.  However, I consider it no benefit to watch Mother Nature unleash this kind of fury. 

Its just weird to see the entire state of Florida bunker down and just watch as events unfold.  Part of me wishes you guys could experience this…..but then again…..

I thought there were other forum members from Florida.  I wonder how they have faired?

So what do you mean by that Drachen.  Should I not fell sorry because they are in a thrid world country and have problems that go far beyond death??????? :|

Depends. Are you a US citizen?

Above was me…...

[quote author=“Anonymous”]Chris, I think what Drachen means is that the country of Haiti has had some pretty severe economic and political issues.  The hurricane just adds more to a very volitale situation for people there.

Soon you will get to know Drachen as I have.  Take him with a grain of salt. :wink:

Yeah, I think I am starting to understand that or him.
