Hurricane Dennis is Bearing Down on Me......

[lesofprimus]

Here we go again... Hopefully this one will miss us as well, like Ivan did.... Supposed to hit tomorrow (Sunday) evening/night....

Heres a pic of my house boarded up.. Just got done doin it... This sucks ass!!! 92 degrees right now with 100% humidity... MAN I STINK!!!!!

We'll see how things go tonight and tomorrow... Its projected to make landfall about 80 miles east of me so......

[cheddar cheese]

Hope things stay well and safe...

Like the kill list, is your house officially a Hurricane ace then?

 

[lesofprimus]

I've been through alot more hurricanes than those there, but yea this is the 6th one for this house..... Wish it was the last....

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Move...

 

[lesofprimus]

Problem is, I like living near the ocean, so theres a certain price to pay... I hate the hot weather more than I do the hurricanes... LOL.

 

[Erich]

pack up you and your familie Les and get up north and east........NOW !

"Was ist Geschwindigkeit der Schwärzung ?"

 

[lesofprimus]

Nah man we'll be alright... Storm surge isnt a problem at my house, as Im on high ground about 1/4 mile from the ocean... The wind is a concern, and if this was a catagory 5 storm, we would leave... But it wont be more than a catagory 3 so.........

Thanks for the concern brother....

Les what is it rated now ? a 2 Plus ? we just don't get much here in my platonic sphere of southern Oregon. Fox news and CNN which are always broadcasting the end of the world ........... on a daily basis

 

[lesofprimus]

Les, how's things doing now. It's 20:37 here in Denver. Drop us a line and let us know that you're safe!

 

[evangilder]

Depending on where that thing hits, he may not have power for awhile. I hope it isn't too bad for him.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Yep!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Good Luck Les, Hold on and let us know how everything goes.

 

[lesofprimus]

Everything is cool... The storm veered to the north and slammed into Pensacola.... We lost power for awhile and had some branches come down, but everything is back to normal...

Thx fellas...
