When I told Naraka of the Hurricane that was heading towards Florida, I was asked to take some pictures of the storm. I got some really good pictures, but the thing is, the pictures make the situation look alot less dangerous. While standing outside to take some pictures and some video of the storm, a large peice of metal from the roof of a car-port, flew about 10 feet from me. Now im aware that 10 feet isnt THAT close, but when its flying by at like 80-95 mph, you get a little freaked sweatdrop , Anyway....Here are the pictures of what the storm looked.

I didnt take many pictures during the storm because the time in which it was "safe" to go outside, was pretty limited. Anyway, I here are some pictures of what my street looked like after the storm had passed.

I'm glad everyone is alright enough. ^ ^ Losing stuff is bad.. but nowhere near as bad as losing people. So I hope you guys get all that aid and things back into running order before too long. heart

It's nice to see people are as crazy as me though. ^ ^; I go out and watch tornadoes.. treck through floods to save fishies.. retrieve horsies and keep them company in thunder and hail storms.. and of course drive to pick up take out in ice storms. sweatdrop

I guess we're all just a very lucky set of people. heart

Maaaan, I wish I was the photographer there. I'd LOVE to get a picture like that. No matter what the consequences. ninja
