Who's Gettin Ready For TS Isacc

[stillin]

Anybody out there gettin supplies together? I'm more west of where it's projected to make landfall but it could turn. If so, the wife and kids are gonna head north to stay with family. I have to stay and work. How bout ya'll?

[heartcut]

I hope you do allright. Out of the path but might end up with some refugees. Still gonna fill up the tanks and check the generator.

Stocked up with generator gas and beer.

[Prairiepiss]

Good luck guys. Hope you all don't need the stuff. Be safe guys.

[rtalbigr]

I was in a hurricane about 10 years ago. It sure ain't any fun.

MM -- looks like you guys are going to get the right hand to the jaw. Hope you guys come through O'k. Looks like we'll be just to the west of the path. We typically fare better when we're on the west. Schools closed tomorrow and we'll hunker down and ride it out. Down in bayou country and rising water is always a big concern.

Best of luck to all in the affected areas.

[Durace11]

Stay safe guys & gals, if you need a place to take a vacation it's sunny out west right now.

Good luck

I've been getting blown by Isaac all day...

... err... uhhh... that came out wrong.

LOL

It's been windy here in Central Florida with on and off rain... but that's about it.

Everyone in the northern part of the Gulf... batten down the hatches and bring out the bottles of hooch from hiding... it's hurricane party time!

I hope it don't get too bad, I live far enough from the coast to not have to worry about the storm surge but wind sure tears up the place....we are predicted to only see 60 to 70 mph winds, so it definately no Katrina, ya'll stay safe down in the bayou.

[fullhouse]

Good luck bayou bros...im just a lil further north of MM .So about the same conditions here for us...got oil for the lamps and a few tanks of propane just in case so i have something to do!

[bentstick]

Hey southren brothers,hunker down and stay safe!!! God speed to you and your families
My son is in the area down by you first hurricane threat he has been through, called tonite I think he is a little worried but won't let Dad know it, but I hear it!!

[blind drunk]

I hate wind. Take care.

[Husker]

and a few tanks of propane just in case so i have something to do!

Thats thinkin. If the internet gets knocked out for half a day, at least you can do a spirit run or 2

Good luck, keep ur head down.

[HookLine]

All the best to those in the path.

[Washashore]

Be safe fellers.... Maybe make some foreshots candles in case of power outage? Ive used a small (100 mL?) ball jelly jar, twisted up a cotton ball to make a wick, poked a hole through the top for the wick, and voila. Great way to use up those foreshots.

Edit: found a pic.

[Bushman]

+1 hope all goes well for our members in that area!

[NcHooch]

Yall take care & keep your heads down and check in from time to time .

[Rivver]

Be safe everyone, and send it north as fast as you can, we really need the rain.

[Mud Mechanik]

I'm at work tonight riding out the storm....currently 50 to 60 MPH winds and raining like all get out, but I'm kinda worried about our bayou brothers.....ya makin it wolfie?

Yea man -- I'm at work myself. We are getting admits to the hospital like crazy. Folks will bring their elderly family members in with "something" wrong with them so as to have them stay overnight for observation. Easier to care for grandma, with all her ailments, when she is in the hospital (paid for by Medicare).

Anyways, everything battened down at home and everyone safe indoors. I will be driving home in about 2 hours -- should be an interesting trip. I think marshwalker is getting the lion's share of this one -- hope they fare O'k there.

[Mud Mechanik]

Be careful driving home, I don't get off until 6 AM, I hope we ain't flooded in

[sinkinskiff]

Well made it through another one in Houma. We caught a break and the eye came right over us so no real flooding .Got a buttload of power poles ripped up or broke down The south end of the parrish down closer to the gulf had some high water but its already draining out but they gonna be out of power for at least two to three weeks in some areas. East and south of new orleans got a lot of flooding from the storm surge .Grand Isle and the Port Sulpher area got winds in excess of 100 mph and in some spots up to ten feet of water from the storm surge .I know some folks over in slidell that didn't get any water from the storm itself then the winds and tidesurge hit em with 5 feet in the leveed neighborhood. Ya'll say a prayer for them and hug your kids tonight and be thankfull that the ones we love are safe.

[Bayou-Ruler]

Sprinkled once and a mild warm breeze was it here.................

[HolyBear]

Sorry ta hear about my southern brothers, hope y'all r safe... but damn, we need it... up here in tha mountains, we need tha huricains ta feed our springs. Damn its been dry... fer a couple years now... Thank you father, for finally letting it rain...my spring has dried up completely, for the first time I can remember... this rain will help with our cattle, hogs, goats, and crops... its raining now, finally, thank-you, I hope those down yonder are safe......

[sinkinskiff]

Has anybody heard from Marshwalker ? If he's located where I think they got hit hard with the surge.

[bentstick]

Last I heard from him was in pm he headed to Ala. to stay with relatives and he had recived a ph call that he had some house damage ( roof) and shit blown all over the yard but nothing since!

[sinkinskiff]

Long as him and the family are ok anything else is fixable. Glad hes ok . Thanks for answering so quick.

[Prairiepiss]

Glad to hear everyone is safe.
I know we ain't getting half the crap you all did down there. Buy damn its been raining all efen day here. I'm tied of using the shop vac to suck the water out my basement. I've filled the little 5 gal thing up must be 15 times now. We needed this bad. Just not this much. Oh and I have another leak in the roof.

[Samohon]

Great to hear everyone is safe.

Cannot imagine what it must be like. Take care guys/gals...

[Mud Mechanik]

I know the fellas in the mid US needed some rain, we even needed a little in the south....but DAMMIT We received over 30 inches in 4 days with this storm. There has been lots of flooding of homes that people thought were safe from flooding. I can only imagine what south LA must look like. I hope everyone made it through ok, sure would be good to hear from our LA members.
