September 8, 200421 yr A Category 4 Hurricane. They are saying that this thing will be 145-150 mph winds with gusts to 185 - hitting Jamaica square in the nuts. This looks eerily similar to what Charley was forecasted...
September 8, 200421 yr The plant in Barbados was hit, but haven't heard yet if there was any (or how much damage).
September 8, 200421 yr I've never seen anything like this. Back, to back, to back Hurricanes? Florida = PWN3D
September 8, 200421 yr Florida = PWN3D If what Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said was true about homosexuals, ACLU, etc. being behind the reasons for 9/11 happening then could one use the same logic to say that these hurricanes are God's revenge on Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris for their voter fraud that gave Florida to Bush?

ROTFLMAO!

That's pretty f***ing stupid and inappropriate.
September 9, 200421 yr That's pretty f***ing stupid and inappropriate. Nuke, it's called a joke. Lighten the f*** up.
September 9, 200421 yr Wow, basically a direct hit on the one part of the state that hadn't been hit too badly. Plus I heard this morning it was now a category 5 hurricane. This is so sad and so incredible at the sametime.
September 9, 200421 yr Ivan killed at least 15 people in Grenada and damaged an estimated 90% of homes there. Now it is taking direct aim on Jamaica. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WEATHER/09/09/hurr...n.ap/index.html
September 9, 200421 yr Interesting article on the changing weather patterns, and the impact on the state of florida http://www.aberdeennews.com/mld/aberdeenne...ion/9603303.htm
September 9, 200421 yr Author Daaaaymmmmm... this is one badass storm, more badass then all the others so far. And the path is EXACTLY Charley's path now...
September 9, 200421 yr Speaking of these hurricanes. I called my travel agent Tuesday night to check up on the hotel for our honeymoon. It's in the Bahamas so I figured i'd make sure everything is ok after Frances camped out over it. He tells me..."Actually, I was gonna call ya as soon as I got a bit more information, but I got a fax about hour and fifteen minutes ago that said they are closing the hotel down till the 25th" I was like WHAT??????? We're suppose to check in the 20th...what are we gonna do. He said "they suffered some superficial damage, but since they were fixing that...they figured they would do some other work too and they didn't want guests dealing with construction so they shut it down." Im like okkkkkkkk...now again...what the hell are we suppose to do? He said we can book at another Sandals or get a full refund...or wait till the 25th and go. Basically we can do whatever we want. Well my fiance was fine with this whole thing. As much as she was dying to go to the bahamas before...even though it was hurrican season...she was gettin kinda freaked out as of recent...so she is kinda happy all this happened. Anyway, I started scrambling to try and find something in mexico. I found this place (Palace Resorts) and have read about 100 reviews from people....Id say 90% had great things to say about it... so I booked it. I hope it all turns out well. Hopefully Ivan doesn't clip this place. To compound that...my fiance sends me this today......"i went to the florist this morning....cross your fingers because they get all their shipments from miami and as of right now the airport is closed and they are not getting any flowers" I'm not that upset about it...It's kinda hard to be mad when these hurricanes have affected so many other people far worse. I mean..my fiance really wasn't upset, she is very laid back...but she couldn't believe that I wasn't fuming. When she asked why I said...People have died, lost their homes, lost their possesions....all we have to do is change our plans. We have no business complaining. Now if all that hurricane did was smash my hotel and then dissipate out to sea without affecting anyone else...I'd be raising all hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 9, 200421 yr Brain and I are thinking about doing our own flowers. After hearing what friends' of ours spent on theirs, we are looking into alternatives. Good luck on the wedding!!!
September 9, 200421 yr We're going there in February on a referral from co-workers that went in April.. they loved it - and they are very pickey people. Oh, it was the Cancun one by the way. I think they have 4 or 5 different ones. We're doing the Cancun one also. Also, CC... did you get the "passport" thing..? It's a thing where you can take tours or golf and some other stuff. We didn't get it yet. Wondering if we should.
