Here in the Tampa Bay area, again we dodge a 'bullet'. We've been so fortunate in the past years!
Thanx for your thoughts! |

Well, many got lucky when Fay went basically north instead of west where she would have most certainly had time and the environment to 'spin up' in intensity.
On the other hand, some FL east coasters were complaining about not being warned. They WERE warned with the 'cone of uncertainty' and projected wind field. Too many fixate just on the center track line... Oh well...
Later... |

Location: South of most, North of few | BTW Beal's right. Most of the press and emergency people just wait all year for something to happen like this and then really hype it up. I've been here since 1961 (just after Donna came through) and most of these things aren't any worse than some of the storms they have up north as long as the tidal surge isn't corresponding with high tide. |

Glad you all are safe. You can still send a guitar or two to Beggin and I just in case the next storm is worse. :D |

I agree Beal, but those of us that were in "Charlie" 4 yrs ago remember that the last thing the local tv weather guru said was that it wouldn't much of a problem. Then the power went out! I guess it was a roll of the dice with "Fay". :rolleyes: :D |

Of course that doesn't explain why he was foolish enough to be out there in the first place. |

He had to be going, what.... 35 /40 mph when he hit??? |

That's what SWMBO says about my guitar playing....unfortunately, the results are the same.
Back on topic...hope the "new" variation of the storm comes to Upstate SC...we are in desperate need of a good, long, soaking. |

I believe "Fair & Balanced" is the copyrighted sound bite that they "own".
Whenever you fertilize, y'should make sure you always use the CORRECT BullSh!t. |
