hurricane rain and vodka over ice ... a rare drink ... got a digital cam? Can u post some pics?

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

yeah, i got some pics and a couple of videos already, but i haven't gotten around to uploading them. i was thinking that i should get a few more before i upload so that i can make a decent sized thread on it. i will also have to load the video on youtube to post it here, so that will take a little time.

Hurricane?? Who said anything about a hurricane??
Well guys, while I'm glad we will not be getting the 100mph winds and 3"s of rain in ten seconds, I also have to say that this has been the most disappointing storm ever.
Here in the Greater Austin area........... days of preparation (not sorry 'bout that though,) prepping at work for 10,000 customer above normal, and preparing for the rain we never got this summer and now NOTHING!!!! [sm=redx.gif]
Nothing but hot, EXTREMELYhumid weather and a 5-10mph breeze, also hot and humid.[sm=smiley19.gif][sm=smiley19.gif][sm=smiley19.gif][sm=smiley19.gif] [sm=smiley17.gif]
WE NEED RAAAAAINNNN!!!!
And my wife wonders why I don't EVER trust weather reports. Billions of $$$ in testing equipment, air craft, computers and satellite gear, great payand they still can't predict a Damned thing. The only profession that pays you well to be wrong all the time.

Wes, I hope you and yours are faring as well, but I kinda' doubt it based on the TV and web reports I've been seeing. It looks like you guys were in for a ride this morning.
Write us back when you can a let us know you are OK...

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

Well, it's floodin' down in Texas.... (hope you're doin' fine Wes)

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

+1!!
I'm guessing we haven't heard from him because of power issues... and hopefully that's all.
According to the news (The Weather Channel/CNN) over 4 million ppl are w/o power in that area now. As hot and humid as it is here in Austin even now @ 6:30 AM, I hope for their sake it gets restored soon. Ya' need A/C 'round here. It's not an option.

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

It looks like Ken is in for some of it too. TWC is talking 50+mph winds in Tennessee today.
Are ya' there, Ken?

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

I feel bad too, we're in the midst of a heat wave here in the NE.

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

hey guys, back for a little while. my internet connection is still out and they said it may be for a while, so i am at the library checking in. the island and the peninsula took a really hard hit and i really feel bad for all of the people in those areas. both of my cars came through without a scratch and the rx7 didn't even get wet (it stayed in the garage). the last house that i lived in took a pretty hard hit, so i guess that i got out while i still could. personally, we are dry, cool, and pretty comfortable over all. gas is still at a high premium here, so the lines are long and everyone is freaking out like this is the end of times. we were really fortunate with all of the things we have just gone through.

RE: Hurricane Ike!
 

Hey Wes!! Glad to have you back and that you (and your family and cars too) are OK. We got nothin' here but a little (re: very little) wind. I/wewere looking forward to getting a little rain out of this at least.
Hope everything is all right and coming back together for you.
