Title: Hurricane Ike.
Post by: Java on September 04, 2008, 01:47:34 PM
Hurricane Ike is on it's way to the United States.

While the course can easily change, it's still predicted to make landfall here.

It's already a Category 4 and it's still got a good ways before it reaches the Caribbean, but this is pretty crazy.

I've never been through hurricane this big.

AHHHHH

At least its not aimed right at you.
Hannah gave me no school tomorrow, and Ike looks to do the same!

And also, change the title before those with impure minds... well....  :D

I was thinking of that before I posted. :P

Anyway, yes it is actually aimed right at me.

And I don't mind having a Category 1 - weak Cat. 3 hurricanes pass by, but this is a big one. :O

Last I saw it was heading for SC/NC.
Need to check again...

It was Cat 4 this morning, did it weaken?

That's the 5 PM advisory apparently.

I don't think it weakened.

Of course it can still easily turn to Cuba, which I don't want to see happen either, but yeah, I'm kinda nervous.

The models around here show a possible follow up to Hannah, but lets just hope neither of us get hit. D:
The bad part is, unlike Hannah, Ike is completely composed of storms.

If it continues on it's current course, it'll go straight to Florida.

Hanna is really nothing compared to hurricanes.
All you get in a Tropical Storm is rain and maybe a little bit of wind.
Obviously, not something you'd wanna be outside during, barely do anything.

You have short-term memory loss. Every now and then we post an old thread just to screw with you.

You see, Ike is going to intercourse  over wherever it hits with it's extreme power, but it'll be reeeeeeeally slow.

Now, if this were Hurricane Roy, that would be a completely different Story!

Hurricane Marth would fall in the middle.

Also, best freaking quote I've seen this month.
