Condor Posted August 26, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2012 Well its time to button things up caveman seabeetom and myself are in the path I haven't talked to seabeetom or caveman to see what they are doing but I'm stuck here thinking about sending my family north not sure yet so may not be on for a few days so after Issac hit whoever is in its path y'all be careful and stay safe I wouldn't start running just yet. Isaac isn't producing the big winds like some in the past. Cat 1 huricanes are 50-60 knots. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted August 26, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 26, 2012 Stay safe. Doesn't matter what cat it is and this one is going to be cat 2 so far. Irene was only a cat 1 when she tore open three breaches in the outer banks and caused a huge mess out there. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted August 27, 2012 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2012 Just talked with my younger brother who is in Rotunda West just south of Tampa and they are getting a lot of rain. I know folks in NOLA are a bit edgy with this one as it could take a path towards them. Y'all be safe and do what you have to do, hell it may swing far west and hit Houston for all we know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake Pad Posted August 27, 2012 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2012 3:35 am, winds @ 40+ and very heavy down pours. I closed the front hurricane panel on the house when we wen't into tornado warning last night ( I don't think there is any paint left on the front door) winds hammered the front of the house. As I type I can here stuff hitting the panels. ( no work per say today) just clean up phase. going back to:draming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted August 27, 2012 Share #13 Posted August 27, 2012 Well they moved the hit zone further west, looks like New Orleans is the center now. Heck by the time it hits it just may be the Houston area. Just don't want to be on that north east side. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted August 28, 2012 Share #18 Posted August 28, 2012 Stay safe. Doesn't matter what cat it is and this one is going to be cat 2 so far. Irene was only a cat 1 when she tore open three breaches in the outer banks and caused a huge mess out there. Margaret Just let the dogs loose they will take care of them cats. I know what you mean. When Irene tore my Breaches open it was a big mess. But, she did it in the Inner Bank. Them bank gaurds weren't amuzed and we can't bank there no more. Seriously, stay safe.
