Looks like the leewards are gonna get a taste of a biggun.

Luck.

No way dude, he already did that in 2001. (hurricane Amanda)

If so, I'll let FEMA know I'm available to go and help (again) ...

Haha man, seriously.



He's a cat 4 now but thankfully seems to be heading just NW of us. In fact, there's absolutely no breeze today here in the North of the island, but big swell on the East coast. The surfers all called in sick today.

So I'm glad Bill's staying away for now, but would appreciate getting the breeze back. It's ridiculously hot today.

Holy crap! Your island is scary small next to that huge storm. That's crazy.

I was hoping it would swing up this way.

So wants a blowjob ...

Yep! But hey, at least we're a small target, right?

I'm not liking the logic here ...

This is getting quoteboxed...

I think you might get your wish. It's supposedly now heading for New England.

They can have it. At least they have cooler waters to slow it down a bit!

Oh and FWIW, it was '00, not '01.

i lived on Guam for Typhoon Karen.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Karen

i can't remember the wind speeds and all, but it was the worst typhoon to hit land, ever.

i think.

We lived across the street from the Exchange ~ the WalMart of military bases ~ and it was a Quonset hut building, that blew away...  We were out, after the storm, grabbing ~ well, i grabbed books, but all sorts of stuff was out there.

After that, we used the cement foundation for roller skating.

I thought it was 00, but then I thought it might have been 01. I had a 50-50 shot at least.

What was the over / under on that one anyway?

Guam was a small island, too,

and Karen hit us, full force.

i know what you go through ~ no carpet, furniture with water stains up at least a couple of inches, nothing "good" in the way of furniture...

Smart move on the studio apartment!  Independence, and freedom.

You're my hero ~
