Hurricane Earl

[Chickerdoodle13]

So far we just have gray skies. No wind or anything. The way the warnings were yesterday, it sounded like we were going to have strong winds early in the morning! I'll have to check the forecasts again and see. Interestingly, North Jersey wasn't supposed to get hit at all, at least not where I live! South Jersey was under a tropical storm warning.

Take it easy, will ya? Downgraded to cat. 2 and moving further off the coast as expected. Bet it'll give us a little wind and rain.

Looking the same on Long Island today. Gray, but no wind. The wildlife is looking a little uneasy. It's quieter than usual out there.

Well, I'd rather be in a Hurricane than an earthquake or tornado.
I've been through Hurricane Hugo, Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Bertha, Hurricane Fran, Hurricane Floyd, Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Alex (my car actually ran out of gas while I was 7mo pregnant, I had to walk a mile in the storm before someone would help me, where I was, it was noting more than winds with a sprinkle, in between the rain.), Hurricane Frances (tropical storm when it hit us), Hurricane. Hurricane Ivan (tropical storm conditions), and alot of other lesser known storms. Y'all will be just fine up there.
Just put some paper tape * and X's on you windows, get some Ice, candles, and other stuff just in case of a power outage.
We used to have hurricane parties, but when you seldom get them, they're kinda scary

We got thru just fine, didn't loose power or anything. I wish they would all be that smooth. It was still raining this morning and a little windy. That is moving out now. I hope everbody else has it so easy!!!!!!!!!! Good luck

I've been through Hurricane Hugo, Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Bertha, Hurricane Fran, Hurricane Floyd, Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Alex

We aren't too far apart since I had the pleasure of riding out all those storms too

Bertha, Fran and Floyd caused me the most trouble personally

We all got lucky with Earl

Maybe it's Karma?​
