It looks like they are going to be real close to the eye if it stays on the predicted course. I also talked to ADC (Authur) last night and they are also planning on staying in the area. I hope they are going to be ok. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scarylarry Posted August 26, 2011 Share #29 Posted August 26, 2011 Better to leave and be alive and than be looking for you..

This makes identification of the body easier!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarylarry Posted August 26, 2011 Share #31 Posted August 26, 2011 They should too.. These storms are not play time as you know with what we been thru with tornados we didn't have time to leave barley had time take cover.. Had we had the time to pack the death toll would have been less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted August 26, 2011 Share #32 Posted August 26, 2011 I talked to Muffinman about 7:30 and they are planning on riding it out. It looks like they are going to be real close to the eye if it stays on the predicted course. I also talked to ADC (Authur) last night and they are also planning on staying in the area. I hope they are going to be ok. I've been impressed with the "wisdom" Jeff has shown me over the years since I have known him... I just hope he doesn't blow that impression all to **** now by trying to out beat mother nature.. Jeff, think twice my friend.. this storm is NOT one to be playing Russian runlet with....this one is packing a wicked punch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted August 26, 2011 Share #35 Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks folks I have to work on saturday. We got folks needing generator's and getting the ones they have in working order. The wind won't be any worse then when we were hit with Isabel the water will be pushed up but I don't live directly on the water either. If it's gonna be that bad we can just head over a county or so. Plus this one is gonna move faster so it'll be gone by the early morning. The ones really needing to watch are those on the outerbanks. That's where the worst will be. I feel for those folks. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share #36 Posted August 26, 2011 So Bobbie how many people do you have camped out at your house? No one yet! It looks like the storm is going to pass SC and hit more north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted August 26, 2011 Share #37 Posted August 26, 2011 We spent all week securing all of the equipment at work just in case. I rode out Andrew in South Florida (not by choice I was deemed essential personnel) we had a blast till about 4:00 am when it went dark... I would not recommend to anyone riding out anything greater than Cat 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not recommend to anyone riding out anything greater than Cat 1. When it is not by choice all I can say is thank you and may God watch over you, some have to stay behind.. The ones that do have a choice and ride it, I hate to say but they are on there on, we went thru one of the worst tornado season I ever could remember and we didn't have choice to leave all we could do was bunker down and pray...

DragonRider Posted August 26, 2011 Share #39 Posted August 26, 2011 I think I would be out of there, look at what happened in New Orleans, some people didn't evacuate and look what happened to them. Hurricanes are not to be messed with, I lived in S. La. for 55 years and I rode out my fair share, but not one that made a direct hit. People need to realize, material things can be replaced, but your life and loved ones cant............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Psycho Posted August 26, 2011 Share #40 Posted August 26, 2011 I am pretty sure that Arkansa will be fine and since the '83 in my garage needs a bunch of work all are welcome..... Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted August 27, 2011 Share #41 Posted August 27, 2011 I just checked and it looks like the outter edge is just getting into the area that the Muffins and ADC live. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted August 27, 2011 Share #42 Posted August 27, 2011 Looks like Irene might be getting some hot air from GA and SC. Not sure who may be blowing into her, but thanks. She's not going to strengthen and may even weaken some. Still going to get a nice storm surge on the outerbanks and lots of rain for us. Winds won't be near what they had originally said. I'm actually hoping she's gonna fizzle a bit. I think they made way too much out of this in the media, but I guess that's what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEER30 Posted August 27, 2011 Share #43 Posted August 27, 2011 So far so good here in Hubert, 28 miles from Morehead, NC . Steady/Moderate rain with one exception it disrupted satellite TV for about a minute. Winds are not bad for now. BEER30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
