i just wanna say good luck to any1 that is gonna button down and wait out the storm, hope nothin happens to u or your property:) ...i think the scariest thing to me with the big cat.3+ hurricanes is all the tornadoes that they spawn off b4 and after the storm... I've heard that theres already been a number with Frances.... so anyways, good lcuk guys.

Good luck guys. I saw that the storm is getting stronger as the eye gets smaller. We learned about how hurricanes are formed and how little of a pressure drop you need to cause the winds your seeing in my Thermo II class this past week. Take some pics if you guys can and a pic of the eye with the walls around you would be cool. My thermo prof said the eye is just amazing to be in.....calm, blue sky above you, with huge black walls all around you.

Waiting for it to come already getting wind and a few bands have been over us. About every 10-15 minutes. Got clouds circling my house right now and criss-crossing. Lot of tornadoes happening and almost had one form here 2 weeks ago.

Well my house is flooded! The roof was leaking so badly because 85% of the shingles are gone along with the tar paper exposing the raw wood. I used a 20 gallon wet vac and dumped it 4 times just from my room so thats about 80 gallons of water and there is still more. The ceiling caved in from the inside causing even more of a mess and the agency I rent from is not returning any of my calls. I spent 400 dollars on supplies tar paper and blue tarp just to cover the entire roof so normal everyday rain storms will not come inside the house. I guess this is one of lifes challenges and ill be ok but this rental agency needs to call me back because Im not living in this mess! This house has about 30k worth of damage and will need to be remodeled and everyday that goes by the worse it gets.On the bright side my 240 is still looking good!
