    Left Florida after Andrew...

    Can anyone tell me why they renamed Cutler Ridge? I'm sure I could look this up, but I'm lazy.

    Thankfully, I am inland in western NC - protected by the mountains. I feel for the people in Charleston SC and Savannah GA though. Hope you all are going to be safe and the storm just skims by and drops some rain and nothing else!!

    Central Florida here. Where is the party at guys??? lol

    In Central Florida also. Real Floridians don't even start thinking about hurricanes until we see a few trailers flying overhead. Until then, life goes on as usual.


    Haha, THIS. I'm in Tampa. Looks like it will be a Redbox weekend.

    Southern most point of FL here, and hoping it passes us by as i just moved here in July and am SOOOOOO NOT prepared for a hurrican yet since we're BROKE!!!! It's "supposed" to blow by us (keeping fingers and toes crossed), but i'm a little worried about my inlaws in Charleston :frown:

    We had tornados touch down last week, ridiculous amount of damage all around my house (thankfully nothing too bad on my own property) a hurricane ripping thru the already damaged town is the last thing we need. *fingers crossed*

    I fortunately live in a place protected by what I call a Pocket... I'm very close to kennedy space center (one of many reasons KSC was built here... Good weather!). Anyway, latest track has it not affecting me, just some wind and rain, so im sure i will be stuck at work and the kids in school for it :/
    and for whoever said something of concern about me being excited for a major hurricane... Well, when i made the first post, it was not a "major storm" and showed no indication of it. It was barely a hurricane at the time. It still is not a major storm, although predicitons put it as such when it turns into a cat 3. Cat 3 does not scare me. You may be a weather forecaster, but I am a native Floridian. After the house is secure, we sit on the porch in the eye of the storm and take pictures. However, now that it is a FOUR , I do not like that. Cat 4 IS serious, and I am thankful the path has her going parallel to us, and hope the people in the carolinas who it hits at a 4 are prepared.
    and the person who said we dont worrty til the trailers are flying over head.. SO TRUE! LOL
    Our stores here still have lots of supplies on the shelves... I actually felt silly when i went to buy water (we are out of the bottled water for the baby's bottles!), like "oh no, they think i am freaking out..."

    In St. Petersburg! Not worried at all.. there is an old urban legend around St. Pete saying that because of the ancient indian burial grounds, all the hurricanes stay away. Look it up! St. Pete hasn't been hit directly in the last 100 years! But a hurricane party would be fun to go to :)

    I grew up in FLA and I have immense respect for ANY category of hurricane, especially if you are within 20-30 miles of the coast.
    My place on the beach in Delaware remains in the bullseye.....

    Ugh same here. I'm actually pretty much worried about it. I think i"m more worried that I would be because now i have a 6 month old. =\ I guess Gov Perdue said to be prepared to evacuate or something like that. not fun.

    I have a 6 mo old too :)

    If you are anywhere near where it looks like it may impact , I would get out NOW. Don't wait til the roads are bad if you are in SC. We have it a 3 off of our coast right now and it is WINDY outside, the rain bands are starting up too.... Please be safe.
