Hurricane Frances Report 9/01/04

[bigdave]

Call me ghetto but I couldn't find this image online, my concern is the RAIN the storm will take about 24 hours to pass through so....we're forcasted for 20+ inches...

But they still haven't picked up all the Charley debris so I'm a little worried about that....]But they still haven't picked up all the Charley debris so I'm a little worried about that....

On the positive side, it might all blow into the neighbors yard

And then back through the windows (Or into the boards over them).

Bump!

Good luck, everyone. Living in Houston - 60 miles from the Gulf - I feel your pain. I'm a bit of a weather geek, so here are some links to help you track the storm and monitor the latest updates:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ <-- National Hurricane Center
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.shtml <-- latest satellite imagery
http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ <-- Good coverage of tropical weather
http://www.solar.ifa.hawaii.edu/Tropical/tropical.html <-- extensive info from the University of Hawaii
http://www.hurricanealley.net/
http://www.ih2000.net/ira/bmt-wth.htm <-- personal page from a guy in east Texas - loaded with info and updates

Fortunately, it looks as though Frances is getting hammered pretty hard by wind sheer, but it could still re-intensify a bit, so take every precaution necessary.

Stay safe.

Down here in Ft. Lauderdale the feeder bands have already started - electricity off and on for the past couple of hours.

I think we are going to miss the eye and hopefully when it gets to Orlando it'll have died down a bit (already dropped to cat 2 this morning- but even that is one biiiiig mofo storm).

Put your head between your knees and kiss your servers goodbye... ;o)

OK folks, office is shutting down, phone support non-existent until this thing passses through. Ticket response should be quick as always, and I've asked the people on duty to login to Chat as well.

Everyone here is now working remotely from home.

I'm staying in my house... I'm in Daytona, so we're not looking at a direct hit, but we'll be in the TS winds for 24-36 hours like the rest of Florida. I'm away from flood zones, so storm surge won't be a problem, and there aren't too many trees nearby. House was built last year, so its suppose to be Hurricane ready... so we'll see!

Hang on and good luck guys.

There goes my timeshare in Cocoa Bech
Well maybe not.

Try to keep your humor up, you'll need it.

[cleonard]

Well, sounds from the latest reports, the winds aren't going to be an issue as much as the amount of rain and flooding.

Just curious, NT5 . . . now is that at the top or bottom of the rack?

:tongue: Oh, come on, just trying to break the tension a little.
