[Big Daddy]

This will give you some idea how big this monster is:

 

[tool fan]

Wow Big Daddy....where do you find these space pics? Got your own satallite or somethin. That is just plain Scarry looking. I feel for those people thatgot nailed and are going to be nailed. Looks like Cuba is on the chopping block

WOW!! Cool picture. I'm guessing that it's looking from south to north, so that's Cuba above the 'cane and Florida is just on the horizon.

Ivan is a big storm alright, but smaller than Frances. She was enormous.

You can track the movement of Ivan in somewhat real time with animated satellite data: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/watl-vis-loop.html

 

[Big Daddy]

I get a lot of cool pictures from friends, some I sit and search out while retired and nothing to do.

And to think he could be right on top of me in 2 days...


Edit: I just checked and it looks like it WILL be on top of me in 2 days. I might be gettin the hell out of here and heading to Houston or Lake Charles for the rest of the week. We'll know by tomorrow morning if classes are canceld for the rest of the week. Wish me luck.

I had a tree come down on my house from Frances, I'm NOT looking forward to Ivan, I'm supposed to be leaving for vacation to the outer banks Friday!!

Damn storms, go piss on Mexico or something.. Or sit on Cuba for a week. (ok thats mean, but give Fla/GA a break, we're almost floating as is..)

Ivan seems to be fascinated with me...

 

[Big Daddy]

And now it seems that maybe another is brewing behind Ivan.....

Things that make you go "Huh?" - I just got an EMail from Holiday Inn featuring a promotion for hotel rooms in New Orleans for $129 a night!!!

 

[Big Daddy]

NO deal, I will reserve one for $50.00 per night!

I heard from friends who have families in Pensacola...
they were hit hard. One family of a friend had their 5000sq.ft. house flooded up to waist high. No gasoline in the city, no power, no water....lots of snakes everywhere...and pests.

I've been real lucky here in Fernandina Bch, to have dodged the 3 storms!

 

[Big Daddy]

Glad your all ok. Hang in there!
