Yeah, I've got one.
Yeah, I hear you Stormy. I haven't stressed over a hurricane like this since Andrew. It is not looking good. Currently showing as a CAT 4 hit with a bulls eye on my back yard. :eek
My GT is already staged in PHX but my flight back is uncertain at this point. Pray to the weather Gods! :frown

Hey Mike,
Yes ,the storms are lined up and coming down the pipeline,, I guess this year we in Florida have been lucky but it may be our turn..
I have been looking at the National Huricane center projections and they show a high chance of Ike hitting South Florida.. In this case you need to make preperations early. As you know by the time you really know where these things are going it's too late to start preparing !!
The only positive outcome if the storm hits Florida is the Gulf will be spared. Gas prices will continue to drop and you should be able to burn up some reasonably priced high octane fuel at the rally !! :biggrin
Not looking good for us Brian. I am really hopping we get lucky. Is your car already in Vegas? I just finished a customers black car wednessday so he could make his transporter out to Vegas. I am sure this is going to effect a few peoples decisions to go or not.
Mike, My car is here.. I have my own trailer and was going to leave on Sunday.. Tomorrow I will need to decide !! But it is not looking good..:frown

If you have to evacuate anyway, what safer place than Vegas?
You're not thinking about riding it out are you??
It's the prep work that will do me in .. My brother and I would need to prep 3 houses and my business.. And I need to go help Manny to pick some fruit from the trees !!! :biggrin

Watch out for the wind radius. As you know it's always worse on the north east side. That is where the most damage occurs.

Amen to that. We have been getting hit with rain bands from Hanna all day today.

Time to live up to your name. Make the name Stormcat a legend (living legend).
Hope it all works out and sorry to hear about the conditions.

Hanna
Just in (soaked) from securing potential "flying debris". Deck stuff, yard stuff, etc. Couple of extra lines on the boat...and we wait for Hanna. Fortunately, (for us) it looks like she's going North...but we're still looking at 50 - 60 mph winds and a whole lot of rain... and a whole lot of clean up tomorrow morning.
Now we wait for Ike...I hope all our South Florida members are safe. Rally III and Carolina Trophy look iffy.
