Not Crazy, just some numb-nut screwed up on the wind speeds, and this was just a minimal category 3 hurricane, then jumped to 145 mph winds in minutes. No longer any time to do anything except hope for the best. Its enough that we have had 3 bands pass over, and I'm still online which means I have power and telephone still B)
how bout now?Quote:

Nope, didn't have crap when you sent that reply. I just got my power back 10 minutes ago. Damage to my house was cosmetic, just a few missing shingles, a tree in my backyard that fell, and a few sections of our privacy fence. I ventured out and about the community here as soon as the winds died down, and considered to most, we were extremely lucky. The whole county of Osceola looks like a tornado hit it. There are areas that will be without power for several more days. :(
how do you muster the strength to survive this ordeal?Quote:

Glad to hear you and your familly are safe!
Now is the time for the dumb "I-don't-live-in-North-America" question...
Why is it that concrete houses are so scarce in the regions regularly ravaged by storm, tornadoes and suchlike? I mean its not the first time tha states aroung the gulf are hit pretty bad... :unsure:
I would imagine it is about ones income. Because I grew up in St. Petersburg, I am all too familiar with hurricanes. with certainty, I can tell you I will never live in a manufactured home. I have seen no damage at all to the structures of the cinder block homes we have out here, only damage to the wooden roofs, and metal sidings.Quote:

the quote should have been " only just" which was showing that the storm was begining to take its toll :P Besides, I heard some women on the radio yesterday, when most of 5 counties were without power, complaining cause she didn't have internet. ( she hadn't lost power at all )
good to know youre safe, now we need pics :01:
