So, please keep me and the entire gulf coast in your prayers this hurricane season. Currently, Tropical Storm Ernesto is expected to make landfall somewhere in the Tampa Bay area where I live (and also in Vibro's neck of the woods) around Wednesday evening as a strong category 1 or weak category 2 hurricane. As we get closer to the date, if the red line with the silly yellow cone doesn't move from directly across the oak tree in my front yard, I expect to temporarily pass leadership to Derk sometime on Tuesday evening and take it back, violently if necessary, after power is restored.
 
I will pray for you Pastori, Hurricanes are never fun (i would know, i have had some monsters stomp through NC before).
 
Being from Louisiana I understand, trust me. I will pray, maybe we can get it to turn completely out back into the Atlantic.
 
We only dealt with Rita directly, and Katrina...indirectly. Luckily I don't live anywhere that Ray Nagin thinks he is in charge. Between him and his "chocolate city" and his calling the WTC a "hole in the ground" I would have to move for sure. Doesn't he think before speaking? At least a little?.

Anyhow Rita caused us a power outage for like 8 hours or so, but with Katrina...Evacuees moved into our Coliseum, our school gymnasiums, our churches, hotels, we ran out of gas daily, crime jumped tremendously (carjackings, robberies, people got busted at a church with automatic rifles and drugs, etc.). Given the option...I would take the Rita scenario again...even though Katrina didn't drop an ounce of rain on us, or cause any damage here at all.(directly).

Anyway, I'm still praying Ernesto will spin away or disappear.
 
Praying. We've been watching it; they're worried it may rain out Dragon Con's parade.

I'd say Florida not getting hit too hard is more important...

When I was 6 years old, I lived in southern Georgia (not as scenic as MM's Northern Georgia, of course. No waterfalls or forests or whatever. A couple swamps, though.) and Hurricane Floyd went through us like Mexican food through my mom's colon.

EDIT: Just so I don't get banned for some racial slur, the Mexican food reference means that generally Mexican food is spicy (which is a GOOD thing) and my mom doesn't exactly have a cast iron stomach.

Hurricane Opal (1995) actually hit Atlanta as a hurricane. Usually the most we get is a tropical storm! It was only cat 1 or 2, but it was a real-life hurricane!
