Yeah, we lost power for like 17 days with Frances, had it 3 days and got nailed by Jeanne for 9 more days, but now we live on the emergency grids too and they say we'll be back up in a matter of hours too. Frances was like 24 hrs for this house and Jeanne was like 14 hrs.
Bring them on!! Party at the castle for the next one!

How do you find out if you're on an emergency grid? I'm pretty sure we're not because they are terrible about our power. If I ever get my own place, I want it to be on a hospital grid. gonk

We live near the school that is a major evac center for us. But we got lucky mostly. The peeps across the street are on a seperate grid as well as the peeps behind us on the next block. Like I said we got lucky. 3nodding

Ugh, the power outage situation when I was living at my parents house was terrible. We would sometimes go 2 weeks without power. Stupid old part of town. stressed

Anyway, I'm hoping that the place where I moved to gets power back quicker. I'm not too concerned about it since my parents bought a generator and have their camper in the yard - but still. Living out of a trailer for 2 weeks doesnt sound like my idea of fun.

I lived in my office for a week after one storm, cos the office is next to a hospital grid. It's hilarious cos my boss bought a generator and everything and every time, by the time she gets it all hooked up, we've got power.

Anyway. I know this storm could be devastating but MAN I wanna get hit close enough that I have to stay home. xDDDD  

[Miss-Abba]

yay! doesn't look like the storm is going to hit us anymore!

i mean, granted it's still too early to tell for sure where it's going to hit but at least we're not in the direct path anymore. whee

I hope not. It seems everyone else wants it to hit. XD But I really don't. I've had my birthday plans messed up by hurricanes other years... Maybe we'll get lucky and one will come later and everyone will get to stay home from school/work. I just don't want one coming now. D=

Wasn't this topic a sticky before? ninja

When you edit a post as a regular member, it takes away stickyness apparently. ..

I just forgot to come back and sticky it after I was re-modded xD

We're not in the direct path either, so I'm not too worried about it. As with most Floridians, we tend to brush them off as nothing.

Good luck all you Floridians! It looks liek this one is going to fly right up Texas' a** and maybe Oklahoma is going to feel it a bit.

It's been raining like the 80s around here lately, time to dig the ditches out again! gonk

Has Disney/Universal Studios ever been severly damaged by Hurricanes? I made a joke with my friend the other day over the internet and phone about Orlando being protected under the Magical Disney Barrier, since I have never heard of Disney being severly damaged by hurricanes. It's Mostly us in South Flodira who seem to get severly pwned by hurricanes/tropical storms >.< ....at least from what I've heard of surprised

I don't think severely, lol. But actually about two years ago my stepbrother had his wedding there and one went right through disney. A tornado hit, you can actually see a clearing of trees somewhere when you are on the monorail of where it was. (I was in NJ at the time though, so I don't know exactly where.)
