Florida and gulf folks, you ready for Gustav ?

[OrlandoMike]

UGH! I am not in the mood for this!

Are you prepared? I think we are pretty set here! Need to check a few things tomorrow like propane and gas, but other than that, I think we have everything we need to make it through a storm.

Are you ready?

[ConcKahuna]

I need batteries for my flashlight, but otherwise we're GTG. I doubt it's going to be much for anyone not on the coast though.

[OrlandoMike]

Ya, remember Charlie?

"You in Orlando are fine, it's gonna hit Tampa!" :laughing:

[ConcKahuna]

Ya, remember Charlie?

"You in Orlando are fine, it's gonna hit Tampa!" :laughing:

Hey, I lost cable for about an hour with Charlie, and that was the extent of my damage. :rotfl:

Of course I was in Ft. Lauderdale for Andrew, so I've seen a real hurricane :scared1:

[rpmdfw]

We moved here in May of 2004, so our first experience with hurricanes was Charlie, Frances, & Jean.

We're still newbies enough that we check and restock the hurricane kit on June 1st each year. I think we're pretty much set. I filled up the gas tank on my car before going in for surgery on Thursday, and having been on pain pills since, haven't driven, so it's still a full tank. I'll just need to remember to hit an ATM for cash and I'm good.

[OrlandoMike]

I need to fill up the water jugs, the water in them is a few months old. We are set on propane, gas, and canned goods. Guess a bottle of bourbon may come in handy! :confused3

Now lets sit back and watch the "unprepared" freak out on Monday and Tuesday when the gas stations run out of gas! :lmao:

[rpmdfw]

Guess a bottle of bourbon may come in handy!

That's not emergency supplies! That's a staple! :rotfl:

The bar at home is always fully stocked, and since we've been stocking up for the Hospitality Suite prior to "Our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding" we've got plenty of booze. (No room left in the wine cabinet. I guess we'll have to drink some soon. ;) )

[rosiep]

You guys stay safe whatever you do.
I'll keep you all in my thoughts.
Rob, you'll be wearing a pink wig and a mini skirt. (hey! it's my thoughts..I can dress you however I want!)

[rpmdfw]

Okay then.

In that case, you'll be dressed in a hot, heavy, restraining nun's outfit. :rotfl2:

[rosiep]

yikes! The nun stuff ok....but please no hot and heavy. It's been over 100 degrees for two days here in Portland (I hate, hate, hate hate hate the heat)

You win, I'll be good. I'll dress you in a nice crisp white tennis outfit...I may even let you wear shorts instead of the skirt

[OrlandoMike]

So ConcK, are you on the ride out crew? I'm not, but I do work on Wednesday, so I'm a little concerned at the possibility that I may get stuck there for a while.pirate:

[ConcKahuna]

I'll just be cancelling and making new reservations all day I am sure.

[orlandomom]

This will be our first bought after moving here June 06, but I believe we are prepared as possible. Picking up cat meds tomorrow :sick: . My biggest conern.. house / cat sitting for friends out in the country near Christmas :scared1: not sure their 4 legged kids will get along with mine and I sure as heck don't won't to ride anything out by myself in someone elses house :scared1:
Gawd I miss So Cal earthquakes, they just happen and no time to think about things :headache:
be safe all!!!

:surfweb:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Oh, I hope you FL folks are all stocked up and ready to weather the storm. Hopefully, it's just going to be more of a rain event than an emergency event.

It's good to know that most of you are stocked up and ready for whatever Fay decides to dish out. Hang in there and let us know how you are. :grouphug:

[rosiep]

I'm signed up for the crew, but dont know if they will be calling one in. We'll see! :hyper:

What's a ride out crew?

[OrlandoMike]

What's a ride out crew?

Baically Disney Cast members who ride out the storm at work.

Those pesky tourists! They actually want to eat every few hours!:confused3

I'm not on the list, but they did ask me what size boot and raincoat I wore tonight!:sad2:

[DVC~OKW~96]

Charley did some real damage to our house, so we no longer dismiss hurricane preparations!

One thing we learned during the hurricanes of 2004 was that we needed WAY more supplies than is recommended. One gallon of water per person per day is completely insufficient for us. (Just watching a hurricane prep spiel and it recommends 17 gallons per person which is probably more likely, but sheesh! storing that is a challenge).

So, we're as ready as we can be. Vehicles filled with gas. Some cash, propane, charcoal... unfortunately a full freezer, so if power goes and is gone for any length of time we'll be having the Mother of all Cook Outs! :lol:

I don't much trust the forecast paths any longer either. Charley taught us that, one eh?

The intensity of Fay is not as strong as Charley, but the path could drop huge amounts of rain on our area, eh? We've had so much rain that that could end up a real problem.

What does Disney do for hurricane preparations? Hoe is it determined if the parks will close or not. Is there a system for making that decision or is the call left to one person?

[OrlandoMike]

Disney has stages, from 1 to 5.

1 (and I would think they would be at stage 1 by now) is pretty much watch the weather.

Around stage 3 they evacuate Fort Wilderness, start tying things down and getting things ready. By stage 5 the parks are closed and guests are asked to remain in their rooms.

Just watched the update on Channel 9, and Tom Terry still has his suit jacket on, so we are fine for now!:rotfl2:

[Maxamuus]

Just watched the update on Channel 9, and Tom Terry still has his suit jacket on, so we are fine for now!:rotfl2:

Im guessing this is the Florida equal to our weather man wearing a white sport jacket? You dont even need to watch the report, if he is wearing a white coat its off to get gas for the snow blower.

[OrlandoMike]

Ya Tom Terry does a little strip tease! :lmao: If the jacket comes off its gonna rain, the tie goes, your gonna get some wind, and if the sleeves on the shirt get rolled up, start praying!

We also have a local guy on the cable channel 13, he drinks, if he slurs his words its gonna be bad, if he is weaving, head for the hills!:lmao:

[rpmdfw]

Which one is that Danny Treanor? Or Dave Cocchiarella?

[OrlandoMike]

Danny Trainer.....we love watching him during the afternoon storms!

Well I just dropped $70 at the gas station, but I got enough gas to run a generator for a week!

Lets just hope that gas ends up in the lawn mower instead!

Gas station not bad yet, drove past Publix, what a nightmare!

Glad I don't have to stop there, then! :thumbsup2

[DVC~OKW~96]

LOLOL! Yeah, as long as Tom Terry doesn't start undressing we're ok!

IS THAT the problem with the channel 13 guy? LOL! He drives me batty.

Publix up here was mobbed. My favorite water was all gone. We didn't really need any more, but I was going to get some just for reserve.

Still have to get some gas. Probably will do that tomorrow when I am headed out.

[OrlandoMike]

Well I think we are set, maybe one more run to Publix for some junk food!

Canned goods are good and all, but heck when your roof blows off sometimes ya just need a hand full of Chee-to's!

An a bad note Tom Terry has taken his jacket off! :scared1:

For us it's brownies and Reece's peanut butter cups (The minatures that you can down a handful at a time)

[DVC~OKW~96]

LOL! I thought of you this morning OrlandoMike when I saw him with his jacket off! LOL!

Rain and gray skies here. Light breeze. You know, that sinister ominous sort. :scared:

[OrlandoMike]

Just took the trash out, eire how calm it is, not good! The sky has "that" look!

Although the weather reports are saying "just rain" for Orlando.

We should have a contest tomorrow!

Who can find the following....

Tom Terry getting undressed!

Danny Trainer drinking!

Clair Metz blowing away on the pier!

Gail Paschal Brown in the hood for some price gouging story!

And 100 bonus points for a pic of Gretta covering the "Casey Anthony gets out of jail" story! :rotfl2:

[SLK1]

I love preparing for the severe weather (strange, I know...), but it seems they hype us all up and then we get some wind and a few rain drops. I know 2004 was bad, but since then, I think the forecasters just like to scare us. School is closed tomorrow (just started today!) and I'm thrilled, but I'm not sure we will see much of a "hurricane". I really am thankful though!

[SLK1]

Just read the Tom Terry posts...that guy cracks us up. He is truly the voice of doom.

[wallyb]

Hope Fay was kind 2 U.

Nah, it's not going to be much more than our normal afternoon thunderstorms. :laughing:

Of course, I am keeping an eye on that "disturbance" over in the Atlantic. When things develop way out there, it's rarely good news.

Couldn't agree more, I keep thinking that all those "storms" we had in Calif were really more hurricane'ish then they let on and they never closed schools or went into a tizzy like they are doing here! :laughing: And try going thru Santa Ana winds for weeks at a time :confused:
I will however, head to Publix and get more "supplies" (darn you Mike and your Cheetos) :cool1: and wait to put the patio back together.

Glad to hear you folks are all doing OK. My boys and I left for home the day before Charley hit and I felt SO awful for the lady who drove us to the airport. She was on the phone trying to get her elderly dad to come and stay with her (I think he was from around Panama City somewhere -- well quite a bit north of Tampa anyway) because "hurricanes NEVER come as far inland as Orlando". She would have been tons better off to have gone north and stay with him...

[OrlandoMike]

Our cable goes out at the drop of a hat! And that means no phone or TV either!

And you had better watch it! Some of the computers have it going out into the Atlantic, going to a Cat 1 hurricane, and comming on shore in North Florida or South Georgia again! :eek:

[jlewisinsyr]

Hope all is well with everyone, at least so far, things have been fairly low key in terms of how bad it could have been.

Just a little wind right now, no rain for awhile, streets are drying up :confused3 no palm fronds down as far as I can see, Tom Terry put his jacket back on, Casey is still in jail and Cayley hasn't been found ..... grrrrrrr no cocktails for me this morning :scared1: :scared1:

We'll think happy thoughts for you. Keep us posted! :thumbsup2

This is nice. I got a phone call from our legal administrator last night at 10:35 telling me that the office would be open until noon today and for us to wear casual stuff since we would be packing up the window offices. I get here and pack up 90% of my boss' office, and then NOW the partners in the firm have decided that in addition to a law degree, they are now meteorologists too and even though our local weather guy is saying that, yes the prior track had the storm coming on shore around Jax at about 75 mph winds (Cat-1), the current track has it coming somewhere around St. Augustine at about 70 mph winds (strong TS). The actual damage will be about the same. BUT, since lawyers know better, the office will remain open here until 5pm and that we should stop packing stuff up. I don't see such a big difference between 70 and 75 mph winds, but then again, I'm not a lawyer.

They might be... You never know around this place. JTA (our bus system here) is suspending service beginning at 5pm today. Do you maybe think that they feel that road conditions will not be safe after that time? And yet, we are going to be leaving at 5pm.

And I'm sure we could find other things that need your immediate attention!

Yeah there are several half-empty liquor bottles in the cabinet that I'm afraid may not be "storm sturdy". I'll take care of those. Too bad "Tropical Storm Party" just doesn't have the same ring....

Main Entry:
fey
Pronunciation:
\ˈfā\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English feye, from Old English fǣge; akin to Old High German feigi doomed and perhaps to Old English fāh hostile, outlawed — more at foe
Date:
before 12th century

1 a : fated to die : doomed b: marked by a foreboding of death or calamity

It's amazing the difference one vowel can make!!:scared:

[rpmdfw]

Oh, I was thinking more along the lines of this usage:

5. whimsical; strange; otherworldly: a strange child with a mysterious smile and a fey manner. ;)

Commonly meaning "nelly" or "too girly". I've known lots of guys who desperately tried not to be "too fey". Not always with much success.

Fay is like one of those bad college dates!

Enough already!

Go away!:rotfl2:

:headache:

Okay, so the Tropical Storm Fay drinking game probably wasn't the best idea.

On the way to work, I saw 17 palm fronds on the ground, 4 rather large limbs, and about a dozen trash cans on their sides. After finishing off the fifth of Jack Daniels that I keep under the passenger seat for emergencies, I was swerving too much in the rain. The nice police officer was very understanding when I explained about the drinking game, but he was a bit upset when I hit on him.:scared:

And now my boss is angry at me because, when I finaly made it into the office, I started drinking the last 7 shots out of my emergency Crown Royal bottle in my desk(two trash cans and a palm frond I'd seen on the way, but couldn't drink to, because I'd run out of booze). He actually took my bottle away from me! :scared1:

What am I supposed to do on the way home, now? :confused3 I guess I'll have to stop at the liquor store again. :upsidedow









I am, of course, only kidding about the drinking and driving, kids. I don't really drink in the car.:thumbsup2

[OrlandoMike]

Well it finally stopped raining, so I guess the drinking game is over! :guilty:


Wait!

Casey Anthony just got sprung!

Mai Tai anyone? :cool1:

Back from WDW where Fay rained on us the whole week. Pros and cons to it though, but now she is causing some rain up here in the Atlanta area. We need the rain, but I am Fay-tigued by this point.

[rpmdfw]

"fay-tigued"


:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

I love it!

It's so "on the nose". ::yes::

Btw: It was nice seeing you on Wednesday night. I was shocked that someone knew who I was based on my picture. Especially since I was water logged and wearing glasses :-)

You looked just like the pictures you've posted (well, not the Robin costume).

It was nice seeing you too. Hope you enjoyed your adventure at my favorite little doomed corner of the world.

[OrlandoMike]

You didn't get the Robin costume.....

Hmmmmm :confused3

No, he was at the Adventurers Club in his "non-crime fighting attire"

[OrlandoMike]

Guess Robin doesn't travel well in the rain! :lmao:

And here we go again, folks. Another TS on the way. :sad2:

We all know women get all clingy, hopefully Gustav will be like your typical gay man. A few hours of fun then gone.

[minicoopercraig]

Just because I'm totally oblivious to anything hurricane related, how has Disney World "weathered" this storm? If Gustav makes land on Saturday, do you think everything would be okay by the 4th? Am I panicking for no apparent reason about my trip on the 4th?! ;)

HAHAHA...HAHAHA...I cannot stop laughing...and the word Uhaul just keeps running through my head...

[DVC~OKW~96]

ConcKahuna that is wicked! :lmao:

The 4th should be ok. Depends on whether ConcK's estimation of Gustav is correct! :teeth:

Some flannel clad ladies with pool cues
will be over to smack the crap out of you.

Put on some Indigo Girls and run. :eek:

oh and the flannel clad ladies will also be bringing a Uhaul.

[minicoopercraig]

Don't forget the power tools and Amstel Light! I'm sure if you have those out you'll be able to evacuate! LOL.

[ConcKahuna]

Ohh, I just noticed that picture I posted automatically updates when the National Hurricane Center releases the updates.

I was like, "WTH?? That's not what it looked like last night!"

[wallyb]

I was like, "WTH?? That's not what it looked like last night!"

I've said that before - "Gee that's not what he looked like last night!" :eek:

[minicoopercraig]

Or at least remember it looking like that last night! ;)

[OrlandoMike]

While Gustav is not tracked to hit Florida, it looks like it may hit the gulf region. Are you guys out there keeping an eye on this? Anyone out there in the "cone" area?

Interesting side note....the RNC convention starts the day Gustav is scheduled to hit......could get interesting!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I just hope that when the warnings go out, that the people listen and ACT on those warnings this time. I don't know that LA can handle another disaster like Katrina.

[jlewisinsyr]

There is a new storm forming out in the Atlantic now...should be named by tomorrow if the weather continues to degrade.

[minicoopercraig]

Which it has, it's now going by the name Hanna. GREAT! Just what I wanted to hear for my trip on Thursday of next week, a storm could be over land by then in Florida.....grr.

[minicoopercraig]

BTW, how do they know the projected path that well. I mean I was just looking at the "track" of Hanna, and she's going to make a sharp left after monday towards the Gulf (well towards the islands in the Caribbean anyway). How do they know that? Are they that good? Or do they make it turn that way? LOL.

[turkygurl]

You can go to http://media.myfoxtampabay.com/myfoxhurricane/ and see the different models they use. JaxPiper can explain it better than me (he's the scientist, after all) but they look at different high and low pressure systems that could affect the track, possible wind shear, the gulf stream, etc.

Alternatively, they could be letting a 3 yr old color on the map with a crayon and see what they wind up with. I think that's what happened with Fay???

[OrlandoMike]

Truth be told, they are getting better at predicting where they will go, but they still dont know.

Your best bet is to keep an eye on the news, and to be prepared!

If your staying at a Disney reosrt, honestly, you have little or nothing to worry about other than getting wet! Bring a poncho!

[OrlandoMike]

Or do they make it turn that way? LOL.

If by "they" you mean Wally...Hmmmm....it does make one wonder!pirate:

[minicoopercraig]

I don't know if Wally controls the weather, I know he can make fire, but that's about it. And that's only if it involves goats and Louie for some strange reason.

A few weeks ago Mike and Rob made me a bit cranky -
