winds are 160 mph !!!!!!!!!!!!!!perfect defined eye , projected path scares me , looks like she could hit mid atlantic!

 

[neuman]

isabel

it scares me as well and i dont think its going to hit mid atlntic i would almost bet on that one ZOOM

 

[sand flea]

You never know which way these things'll turn, but I have a very bad feeling about this one. It would be devastating if it hit the coast.

Pucker Factor

is way too high on this one. Even if it comes close and does not hit, its going to do a lot of damage.

I'm headed to the store shortly for some extra gas cans for the generator and some canned goods. i got caught with my pants down after Fran, not this time.

This weekend will be spent retreiving stuff from the place at Topsail and tying down items here inland. Better safe than sorry. Get your plywood and items and store somewhere before they run out or double in price.

That and pray is about the best we can do.

 

[Topsailbum]

yea this one's gonna suck no matter where it goes

 

[Topsailbum]

good luck fish hunter. i just got back from boarding up... this oneis gonna be ugly

 

[flistell]

I am hoping this one goes to N. Korea!

 

[Fish Hunter]

N Korea

ROFLMAO, now that is too funny. But, that is now my wish.:jawdrop:

 

[sand flea]

Ha flistell! I wonder how long it'll be before bin Laden and company claim the storm is God's wrath against the U.S. and Pat Robertson responds by claiming he'll pray it away (he claimed to have talked God into steering a couple of hurricanes away from Va. Beach in the 80s).

You never know; this thing could turn out to sea and leave us all alone. I hope so, because it's now got sustained winds over 160 mph and is a Category 5. The AP has some pretty sobering stuff on this storm:

The last hurricane to develop into a Category 5 in the Atlantic was Mitch, which killed about 11,000 people in Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala in 1998.

The last two Category 5 hurricanes to strike the U.S. coast were Andrew in 1992 and Camille in 1969.

The last few years have been lucky for those of us on the Atlantic coast; we've had very few hurricanes. Our luck's going to run out eventually, but that doesn't mean you don't dread it.

Well, lets hope Pat is praying to send this thing out to sea. I might even send him some money if I thought he had that much pull with the Man upstairs.

 

[Kajun]

oh boy...isabel isnt looking good.....i know i wont be stayin here during it lol willoughby spit was created by a hurricane in the 1800's....something of this size could erase it......and my dumb azz didnt get renters insurance lol

 

[emanuel]

When Pat Robertson makes Isabel do a U-turn, gets me a new car, and allows me to catch a 50"+ red drum while accompanied by the Atlanta Falcons cheerleaders, I'll send him a couple bucks. Until then, I wouldn't urinate on him if he was on fire.

 

[Topsailbum]

amen on that one emanual. if all that happens in next few days give me a hollar......

 

[emanuel]

No promises on that one. I may have my hands full.

 

[flistell]

I'll take help from Pat-Hussein-Bin Laden, hell even Bill and Hillary--that is how low I'll stoop on this one. Live on the beach, actually a big sandbar. Just ordered 27 sheets of plywood for the house and a pair of pliers to control my sphincter. What in the hell is a poor boy from Michigan doing on the ocean???

 

[Digger]

fistell I hope they are Visegrips!!!
:jawdrop:









sorry I could not resist.

 

[Thrifty Angler]

well

I guess that depends on what needs to be controlled.

 

[shaggy]

Guys and gals, south of the Chesapeake Bay, be cautious, and be safe, those in the Bay area keepan eye, cause if it comes into the mouth, who knows what? Be safe, and kiss the kids (just in case). Heck, we lost Warren Zevon, Johnny Cash and (for my wife (John Ritter), don't need to lose any P&S'

GBAK

 

[nevercatchany]

i wish it would hit near where i fish and tear a hole in the ocean 25 yards from shore i want it to be 100 yards long and 60 feet deep so i can have a nice personal hole

 

[sand flea]

My grandparents live three blocks from Chick's. I hope the latest projected path is wrong... This thing is a real nail-biter.
