Seven to nine hurricanes possible in 2005

[Gan]

Well, the weather gurus have made their prediction and here it is...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/05/16/hurricane.outlook/index.html

"The forecast is slightly higher than 2004's, which predicted six to eight hurricanes, two to four of which would be at least Category 3, which has winds of 111 mph to 130 mph."

"The 2004 season spawned 12 hurricanes, including four that hit Florida directly and one indirectly, leaving scores of deaths in their paths. It is believed the four storms caused more than $40 billion in damage."

"The 2004 season will be remembered for its four hurricanes that hit Florida within just six weeks: Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. Scores of deaths in the United States were blamed on the storms and after Jeanne slammed into Haiti, more than a thousand deaths were reported there."


Better batten down the hatches!

[Vitruvian]

Yay, Thanks for the great news, I live on the intracoastal In Florida, and I can tell you that hurricane shutters fucking blow goats! Every year they evacuate us, but I cant go because of my two dogs. Can you believe they dont allow pets in evacuation centers. There is no way Im leaving my dogs in there alone! So I say , bring it on Hurricane season!

Hurricane party at Vitruvians!

I'm on the Texas gulf coast so we are part of the threat zone but not as bad as Florida and hurricane alley.

[Vitruvian]

Nope, But you do occasionaly get em... Best of luck to ye. Hey hows the fishing there?

[Gan]

Anything 11 miles out or further big enough to gaff into the boat is a keeper. I'd like to take a month off and just sweep the coast from Texas all the way down to the keys on a huge fishing binge... then take another month and do the same down the Mexico coast line.

Of course that would require a bigger boat than the 28 footer we have now, wonder how I can justify that expense. :whistle:

Man my area got FUKED last year. Looking forward to 10 more hurricane parties this season!!!!11!

And that is Xyelin's runestave in his hand not a poop.

[Vitruvian]

Any help for Xyelin? Anyway, I have a 38ft Donzi ZF Open King Fish. I take it to the Keys at least every month. Dont laugh but me and my brother got drunk one time and drove it to the Bahamas. I have 3 engines, But I didnt think it would take 4 hours!! We ended up spending the night there. Gas is expensive as all hell there too! Id die if I couldnt fish!

Are you guys becoming life partners or just rooming up with long time buddy? Sorry it peaked my interest.

[Vitruvian]

Oh, its not so bad! You'll be ok! Jacksonville is pretty hick though! Move to south Florida. Either way, I dont believe youll have a problem in Jacksonville.

Life partners. No need to apologize, it wouldn't be the first person to ask! :)

As to Jacksonville being hick, eh..I don't agree but I live in Oklahoma now so what do I know eh? I've visited Jacksonville several times over the last 2+ years James and I have been together and I didn't find it to be that way at all.

[Vitruvian]

Maybe it was a while ago then, sorry. The city is the biggest in Florida though. I wish you both the best of luck! Lets go fishing, I have yet to meet a player out of game!! And what a better way to do it than go FISHING!!!

[Skirmisher]

Start buying generators, bottled water and peanut butter now all you Florida people!

[Vitruvian]

I just put a new generator on the side of my house. I hope I have to use it or Ill be pissed! Wait, No I wont!

[Jolena]

:wtf: :no:

Let's not start my new life off in Florida with thoughts of generators, bottled water and peanut butter! Kthx!

Although, peanut butter is yummy. :yes2:

[Tromp]

Take me fishing in your Donzi Vitruvian! I just moved to Orlando from Tampa. I'm jonezin!!!!

Welcome to all the humidity Jolena.

Didn't know that many people lived in state.

[Vitruvian]

Ill take anyone who was willing to come down here, just throw down for gas and bait. I have enough poles for 4 heads. Hell we dont even need to fish. Riding the intracoastal is fun too. Though I dont have 3 engines and 850hp to troll. I love speed. Anyone know how to wakeboard?

All about wakeboarding but kinda scared of 850hp.

What part of intracoast?

[Vitruvian]

Well , I obviously wouldnt use it all if someone was on... LOL. Although I did it to my brother. He was more than pissed. And the channels about Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. My Mom has a dock in Lighthouse Point. So I drive there often.

[Tromp]

Cruising Miami in a Donzi... NICE!!! Count me sooo in.

Last time I was in Atlanta there was a big one coming through - and did - two days after I left. This was the one time in my life I will/have ever claimed to live in such a state as Florida. But I did. And I got to keep my room reservation. Go me. :)
