South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Morning all. It seems like a great day for everyone to FREAK out about this Hurricane.

 

Mornin fellas and the Daria. ^and yea I hate the weather channel for making people lose their shit over stuff that may not come close to us.

 

pretty sure its coming. of course it can change but all indicators point to it being stronger than Matthew when it does get here.

 

Yup, all we are gonna her about this week for sure

 

@EddyRRT Can I add a cab mount chop when I come pickup my bumper?

 

yea I know, but just say be prepared, don't say we're all going to die and incite fear and mayhem just for views. been seeing things pop up that say oh its going to be cat 6 by the time it gets here! (theres no such thing as a cat 6) and people go crazy. maybe im just in a bad mood today and not wanting to deal with all the stupid bs that happens all around.

 

Yikes.

 

but but but, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

 

Everybody prepared for the hurricane? I got my Hurricane Brownies, Hurricane steaks, Hurricane pizza, Hurricane Salad fixins, Hurricane Coke Hurricane Wood chips for the smoker... Still need to get some Hurricane Ice cream

 

Not a good nite at work. Boss threatened to call security and walk me out because I didnt jump when he snapped his fingers.
Turns out some ass came in and worked doubletime and a half yesterday....on my machine and I was never called.

 

also, NHC has moved the projected path now.

 

so glad I dont live in Ft Lauderdale anymore

 

yea florida get too many of them storms for my fancy.

 

yep. the last year we were there, late summer 2005, we had 2 come through, close, lived up near west palm beach. lost power for a week, twice. with a newborn, hot and shitty for a week, blah. no bueno.

edit, maybe it was 2004, IDFK

 

That was the last year I lived in New Smyrna Beach. I seem to remember there were three back to back to back. We lost power for over a month, partially because they had to replace the pole the fed my house.

 

Yep, was these 2

• August 13, 2004 – Hurricane Charley makes landfall on Cayo Costa with winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and hours later hits the mainland portion of the state at Punta Gorda, becoming the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The winds damage or destroy thousands of homes, knock down tens of thousands of trees, and leave more than 2 million Floridians without power. Charley results in eight direct fatalities, 20 indirect casualties, and 792 reported injuries. Throughout the state, damage is estimated at $13.5 billion (2004 USD, $15.4 billion 2008 USD), at the time the second costliest hurricane in United States history; it has since dropped to fifth.[5][37][38]
• September 5, 2004 – Hurricane Frances strikes the southern end of Hutchinson Island as a slow-moving Category 2 hurricane, producing heavy rainfall peaking at 15.84 inches (402 mm) at High Springs. The hurricane damages 15,000 homes and 2,400 businesses in Palm Beach County alone, with damage across the state totaling $8.32 billion (2004 USD, $9.5 billion 2008 USD). Hurricane Frances kills five people directly in the state and is indirectly responsible for 32 deaths.[39]

edit ... and this one

• September 25, 2004 – Hurricane Jeanne hits the southern portion of the state very near where Frances struck three weeks prior, producing moderate winds and rainfall reaching 11.97 inches (304 mm) at Kenansville. Jeanne produces hurricane-force winds across an area previously affected by one or two other hurricanes,[41] causing about $3.5 billion in damage (2004 USD, $4 billion 2008 USD).[42] The passage of Hurricane Jeanne results in three deaths; two due to winds and one from flooding.[41]

 

I remember they really tore the beaches up at NSB. They had to bring sand in from other states to repair it. Despite dealing with the hurricanes and tropical storms every year it seemed like, I would still live there again.
