Hurricane Jeanne
 

Here we go again:

Sucks to live in Florida right now.

Y'all can laugh at me when the tornado season rolls around.

Damn, and they all thought this one was going to stay away from the USA. Of course, nobody expected Ivan to do what he did either. Weird weather...

Now there's "Son of Ivan" out there, and he's threatening Louisiana. So, Ivan's spawn is going to hit either us or Texas.

We'll see what happens. He's refusing to die.

Better yet... 'Ivan the Terrible' is now 'Ivan The Resurrected'! :)

Looks like Houston and San Antonio are gonna get pissed on this weekend...

I swear Jeanne is like a hurricane on drugs! Who ever heard of the crazy path she's been following. NE to SW, back NE again, to a loop-de-loop. How nuts. I am glad to not live in Florida right now.

Looks like we're gonna start a pool at work to see how much more of the VAB comes off.

None of this hurricane stuff is helping me make my case against my husband that we should move back to FL. :(

AXiD670, how can you think of leaving NC???? :eek: :p

BetaRose, why would you want to leave sunny Florida to move to dreary, depressing Seattle?

Lol, I know, I know. I think I'll eventually own a summer home here, but NC is just too conservative for me to live here full time! ;)

In all seriousness, I'm just not ready to live in the place where I'm going to live for the rest of my life. And besides, I really miss the beach. :D

:confused: Let me understand. You are using the hurricanes to talk your husband into moving to a place that has more rainy days than anywhere? You must be a really good negotiator! I'm impressed!

(Don't get me wrong. I haven't been there, but I am looking forward to getting out that way and seeing it. I hear it is lovely, even if a bit wet)

It's not unusual for that to happen, since hurricanes rely on upper-level winds to provide their steering. Once in a while you get just the right combination of weather that's giving Jeanne the loop-de-loop and Ivan a new lease on life.

And that's if Jeanne doesn't whack pads 39 (Shuttle), 41 (Atlas V and Titan IV), 37 (Delta IV), 36 (Atlas IV) 17 (Delta II and III) in the process! That would REALLY throw a monkeywrench into the works for America's space programs.

My heart goes out to all of you in Florida.

ugh:( my new favorite day will be november 30th. hurricane season will be over. florida is suffering a serious beat down:(

there goes my tubeing trip this sunday.

Bastard Ivan.

it just doesn't seem to want to end. how sad! between jeanne and ivan's second life, the area's getting buried again.

I'm so sick of this season already. Enough is enough!

Yeah. . . then my husband would be out of a job. . .:(

You guys stay safe in the path of Jeanne...!

Thanks. We'll try. :-) At least it's moving a heck of a lot faster than Frances. 12mph...I like that. :-)

:::Steps on soapbox:::Waves::::
"HI IM SICK OF HURRICANES!!!"
that is all :)
thank you for listening to a just another floridian suffering from "hurricane fatigue" BLAH!

OHHH and one more thing ;)

I am very sick of continuous coverage news on ALL the free channels.. im poor and cant afford cable...but does that mean i have to watch news 24-7 until the end of the weekend.. ???

it is supposedly following nearly the same track as frances:( ugh! this is getting out of hand. florida needs its time to recover. school has been so weird. anything but normal. bascially ever since school started, we had to plan around all these hurricanes. may not be a big deal, but very aggrivating. Duval County (Jacksonville) and many other counties have already had 4 student holidays taken away

Every single school district in the state has had to take at least two days off; luckily Governor Bush has waived the 180-day instruction rule for the counties worst hit by Ivan. Escambia and Santa Rosa counties have no idea when they can get back into school. The University of West Florida is closed indefinitely.

Losing 4 student holidays just doesn't seem so bad in comparison. At least most students have a school to go back to. :(

and no doubt, that is an awful situation to be in and i wish things were better....

but like i said, the situation up here may not be a big deal in comparison, but it is aggrivating


this is something that is changing the lives of everyone

I think Jeanne is following one of my friends. She was in Puerto Rico on vacation when it hit there, and now that she's back in MD she might just get a second dose of it... although it obviously won't be that bad by the time it gets up here. Still, even if it just does what Ivan did to us, that's bad enough!

Yeah, we have to go to school on Saturdays because of Frances. Our campus was so badly damaged that we didn't have class 9/2-9/13. Now here comes the Sunday classes....:mad: :eek:

I'm tired of the hurricanes. Up here in PA, we usually get the remnants (even though I remember in 2000, we got Floyd while it was still a Tropical Storm) and after all of the flooding from Ivan, we need a short break. My heart and prayers go out to all of the Floridians and everyone else dealing with this.

I'll agree that these hurricanes are really frustrating to students. It's interfering with studies and adding onto the already high stress levels. My boyfriend is trying to graduate in May, and oceanphi01 is graduating in December. It makes it hard to study for tests and do homework assignments when you're having to evacuate every other weekend.

Sounds like good news for UWF, from their web site:

Classes at the University of West Florida, campuses and online, will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 5. The fall semester will be extended through Dec. 17, which will allow for two additional weeks of classes during the weeks of Dec. 6 through 10 and Dec. 13 through 17. There will be no separate final examination period. Instead, final projects, examinations or take-home examinations may be given during the final week of classes. There will be a process to address concerns or requests resulting from the revised schedule. It will be posted on the university Web site by Oct. 5. Fall Commencement for both the Pensacola campus and the Fort Walton Beach campus will be held as originally scheduled.

Hopefully Jeanne won't change that again!

I'm sick of hurricanes in FL and I don't even live there...but I do have to deal with it everyday at work...

"Hi, I'm working with the West Orange Chamber of Commerce on their Information Display project and..."

"Ok, I'm all for supporting the Chamber...but can you call me back AFTER the hurricane???"

I was listening (whenever I could get a connection, telephone service is spotty) to the Palm Beach, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach AWOS (Automated Weather Observation Stations) at the airport.
