Here Comes Katrina
 

Here we go again. Doesn't look too bad though, shouldn't be much more than a week storm by time it hit FL.

Re: Here Comes Katrina

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

By all indications, we'll be seeing some offshore wind, coming from the southeast...will make for some hairy inlet entrances. :D

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

God Bless Texas :D

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

...and a weak storm too

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Thanks.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

This is what my street looks like when we get sustained hurricane winds coming north up Tampa Bay and a high tide

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Tell me about it, we are on the Alifia River. :eek:
Dave where are you, that can get bad.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Shore Acres, St. Petersburg, Were on the news every hurricane. I've been interviewed twice.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

I just got to ft lauderdale,
damnit, i need a bigger boat... again.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

I just went to the National Data Buoy site and checked the wave heights for the Eastern Caribbean, Florida and Gulf of Mexico, and Western Caribbean. Waves are no more than 5' anyplace. I figured they'd be higher than that.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Dave, Your in Shore Acres? Me too. This was Frances from last year:
:eek:

One of your pics looks like "lake Overlook" :D

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Yea Shore Acres is nice most of the time other than being in an A-1 flood zone. Frances put about 4 inches of water in my whole house. Good thing we have flood insurance. Amazingly our property values are still going way up too. Nice Cig, I have a 28SS.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

No doubt, property values are out of control. My place has about doubled in 3 years. We've been lucky so far, water came close, but never came in. From what I know my place has never been flooded, knock on wood. Thanks, we should hook up sometime.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

I know exactly where you are. My mom was in
S A Rehab Nursing Home. They had to evacuate
alot.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Remember this band? Kind of fitting now. Glad it's not looking like too big of a storm.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Projected path puts it right down Hillsboro Blvd.(main street Deerfield Beach) and squarely to my back door. :eek:

Got all shutters up and the dog and I are buckled in. Cat 1, but we will see longer and stronger winds than from any of the storms last year. :(

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Cash, you guys stay safe over there. Good luck.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Here is our canal :eek: :eek:

Re: Here Comes Katrina

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Lucky, how far are u from lighthouse point?

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Be safe Bobby, and if you go outside make sure that you put some rocks in your pockets to keep from blowing away!

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Hope my boat fairs well in Miami. My family is down in Orlando also. Any word on the storms latest projected path ??

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

All you guys/girls south of me (Altamonte Springs) stay safe.. Reports state lottsa rain east and west coast the up to the panhandle again..

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Otis, just a little wind and scattered rain in Otown. Nothing heavy. The path of the storm looks like it moved a little farther south than they had expected.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Lucky, what kind of tidal surge did you get? What phase is the tide in?

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

I'll let ya know if any of your chit comes floating(or flying) by my house :eek:

Just Joking, not too bad out here in West Boca right now, it is raining sideways, gusting winds, but my boat is still on the trailer alongside the house, at last it was last time I looked :drink:

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Oh boy, is it blowing hard now....lights are flickering...may not be on for long........everyone be safe

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Cuda's probably hunkered down in "the Hollar"....

Don't think we're gonna get a lot out of this one, maybe some rain.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Nothing going on here at all right now.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Blow it out in the Gulf :blaster:

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Be safe people!! Keep us posted. ;)

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Woke up this morning and it was already gone. Gonna miss us completely by the looks of things. Wasn't originally projected to come through until tonight. Went much farther south than thought. Already out in the Gulf and heading away.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Lets hope it keeps headed that way. I feel for those with damage and no prower in South Florida. My father in-law is retired FPL guy and he keep gong back to work every summer. He likes the extra coin but we hope this trend stops/slows down.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

All gone, no more worries.
I hope everyone made it through okay in South FL!


Now, it's going to gain strength and hit the poor folks in the panhandle again. :( :( They just can't catch a break.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

I am told our power stayed on...........but my roof blew off! :eek: this is according to our isle's security guard, with whom I spoke last night during the peak of the storm!
Unfortunately I am up in Michigan!

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

The panhandle is having a rough time with erosion. I was in Destin last week and the beach was literally washed away. Heres a pic of what used to be a parking lot.
CigDaze, we should definately hook up, if you like beers and boats were already like family.

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Looks like Key West is getting pounded.....

Re: Here Comes Katrina
 

Hey Poo..

Glad to see you still have power....Charge up the batteries..

News as we speak.. Katrina returning to Keys and will hit Panhandle again later....

6 inches of rain in Marathon .. :(

and a family of 5 in a 24 "pleasure craft" missing out at sea... :(

Take care all...
