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

[Crazy]

Glad to hear you're alright Les, although I feel bad for the people in Pensacola, if i understand right they got hammered pretty bad...

And now the remains are going to come flying north to visit me *sigh* there's no escape

 

[lesofprimus]

Ty.... Batten down ur hatches, alot of rain is comin ur way.....

 

[trackend]

Glad you and your clan are ok Les last I heard on this mornings UK radio was it had been reduced to tropical storm level.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Great to hear your alright Les.

 

[lesofprimus]

Ty again guys...... I appreciate it...

last I heard on this mornings UK radio was it had been reduced to tropical storm level.

When a Hurricane comes ashore, as it did in Pensacola, the storm loses strength... Usually, once nland, a hurricane will be down graded to a tropical storm, then a tropical depression, and then a low pressure wave...

Well Les I like the states but there are some things about it I'm glad we dont have.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and earthquakes depending what part of the country you're in! Sometimes you get 2 out of the 3!

 

[evangilder]

Yep, it has been an adventure living in LA! In my 17 years here, we've had fires, earthquakes, riots, flooding and a couple of tornadoes. I'll get worried if the hordes of locusts show up!

 

[trackend]

Bugger that for a game of soldiers I'll stick to the odd flood thankyou very much.

I remember the killer wind-storms we had at Lakenheath once a year. That was the first time I saw trees snapped like twigs. Made for one hell of a cleanup job, restringing PA wires, replacing broken antennas and clearing downed trees.

It's not so bad here. The weather is great. And I have to admit, the 5.0 and below earthquakes are kind of fun.

I have to laugh about the winds reported during the hurricane. 90 mph winds! Wow! At Mojave airport we got those about 5 times a year. It is common to see winds 45 gusting to 70 mph in the winter months.

At Mojave I've seen 110 mph. Above 90 727s and DC9s were being moved if not proberly tied down!

That's all nothing, we have this natural disaster called skag-rats. It seems to happen well - all the time these days. What happens is all the scum come out at once - meet up and then there's big fights and innocent by-standers get drawn in sometimes...it's quite sad - and there's always a big clean-up operation afterwards.

My god! Does this eclude soccer games!

 

[plan_D]

Soccer rioting is a whole different natural disaster. It normally involves the same kind of people though.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Chavs.

F*cking chavs...

I think I rather have the Hurricane!

 

[plan_D]

The PC term is 'chav' - the correct term however is scrot.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i hate chavs!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Should get my brother into one - he's the only guy I've ever seen use brass knuckles, a slap jack, and actually throw a knife and hit somebody!

Short for "Scrotum-head"?
