All of us in Florida would appreciate your prayers. But, if I loose the house, my coins are safely tucked away.

Mother nature will win out every time. Florida should be evacuated and considered off limits on which to live. As each natural disaster comes through and destroys property and lives, it is costly beyond that to all those paying into insurance that ends up paying time and time again to rebuild in areas that will become devastated over again and again. Why do humans insist on living where disaster strikes repeatedly?
The message is NOT getting through.
I am sorry but that is just the way it IS! Same as if you lived next to a river that floods year after year after year. Hell, MOVE UP THE HILL and get away from the rising water!
It may not be easy to relocate but how many times are you going to rebuild in an area that is not safe or economical for humans to inhabit?

<< <i>That "storm" is about the size of Florida. That picture is crazy. >>
That storm is now larger than the state of Fl.
Hopefully everyone will come out ok.......
Our hearts are out to you!
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
I do have my own opinions about people living in areas that are constantly hit by "Natural Disasters". I think, to a point, some people like it. I know it sounds crazy but consider this, you buy insurance, and every few years, you have a new home, a new car, all new stuff. Done right, you can make sure everyone is safe and sound, and get new stuff every few years.
I know your all going to think I'm nuts right, well let me tell you this, I once knew a guy that liked prison better than being free (Not in prison). This guy did stuff on purpose to get into jail.
Some people do some crazy things.
Above all, I hope everyone in Florida is safe and everyone pulls out of this without an injury.
Good luck<

Thank you all on behalf of "all Floridians". Yep, she is one big girl...actually the size of Texas!!! I'm 30 miles from the coast and about 60 miles north of where she is expected to make land fall. I have no worries as I know who holds me in HIS Hands!
Thanks again,
Jim
So........ are you sure the bank will survive and the safe boxes will remain intact? I mean , sure the door is tough-looking metal, but what if the whole bank is demolished - will the safe boxes survive?

In my humble opinion... why do people keep living in California and suffering through Earthquakes? Why do people keep living in the Midwest and suffering through Tornados? Why do people keep living in the North, suffering through blizzards? Give me a break... in my 18 years of living in the Florida... this is no more than the 4th or 5th storm that has majorly impacted my area... even look at Miami... how many devastaing hurricanes have hit there in the last 20 years? How many devastaging hurricanes have hit Tampa in the last 50 years? That I know for certain, there has only been 1 direct hit to Tampa Bay in the last 50 years, I believe it was only 2 maybe 3 direct hits to Tampa in the last 100 years... yes Florida gets hit quite often by hurricanes, but it's rarely in the same places over and over and over... I'd be thinkin more about the people in the Barrier Islands that continously get hit by hurricanes out on the edge of the Carribean, like Trinidad, Tobago, St. Lucia, Dominica, etc. etc.... and that they are the crazy ones!!

Maybe some of that is about who foots the bill?
How much do Floridians have to pay to support insurance claims from Penn. blizzards and Okla. tornados?
<< <i>I have no worries as I know who holds me in HIS Hands! >>
So what do you tell him when tells you he gave you plenty of time to get out when you had a chance.

<< <i>Looks like it's breaking up.Hopefully. >>
It's not breaking up, but it is becoming weaker, down to a Category 2. Don't any of you let your guard down, we got hit by Isabel last year and it was a Category 1/Tropical storm when it came through here and still caused catastrophic damage.
Good luck everyone "up North".
It now looks like land fall is to be West Palm Beach, then it'll cut a path towards Tampa Bay area. Considering that the storm is the size of Texas, noone will be spared from this miserable weather.

George Thanks for saving me the time to answer him........seems you handled it very well.....Maybe he lives under a rock........California here, and if I die in an earthquake well then that's what's the big guy wanted! but I sure as hell won't live somewhere just because there is some sort of mother nature going on.....
You the man........hang in there and stay safe all of you

North Texas get tornados all the time, should we move too? If you are so concerned maybe you have a extra room in your safe house for us all.
Point is no place is truly safe as S@@t happens every where.

It recounts stories of people who were late for work at the World Trade Center on September 11 for obscure reasons. One fellows car wouldn't start. One persons kids were late for the bus and he had to drive them to school, etc.
The small delays saved the lives recounted in the email.
If some natural disaster is going to take your life, that's what the plan was for that moment in time.
If you are impacted but spared, there's a message there.
If you weren't impacted but saw the suffering of others, there's a message there too.
Everything happens for a reason. Reasons we don't know or can ever understand, but most assuredly for a reason.
They're talking major power outages lasting weeks I saw on television.
So if I don't post for a while, that's why.
Hang in there everybody!

<< <i>I just heard on the TV that the storm is expected to "last" thru 2 high tides.......... A 15 ft storm surge is predicted which will mean TOTAL DISASTER for the area since most of South Florida and the East Coast of Fla is LESS than 10 ft above sea level........... I'd be heading north in a BIG HURRY !!!!!!!!! >>
No you wouldn't. You'd be stuck just like millions of us are stuck.
Here's a couple more links. Power has gone on and off at least 5 times in the last hour here. Water suddenly has a strong smell of bleach. I have no idea why that is.
