Just read an interesting article about how the US had a ten year hiatus from serious hurricanes....which scientists say happens twice every hundred years. I think we've had enough for the next fifty...go away, Maria!
Hurricane Irma chat for those in the path
- Thread starter frick&frack
- Start date
Irma and Maria were both names of my grandmothers and great-grandmothers... I don't believe in ghosts or spirits but s**t is getting weird.

Um, what did you do to hack off the honored ancestors??? *whatever she did Honored Ancestors we are all so sorry! Don't take it out on the rest of us, go visit her house [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]*
This is such an active season that we're keeping our shutters up for maybe another month or so or until the storms stop rolling off Africa.
^thank you
^so glad you're home safe! I know @Vlad is way more happy about that than I am. [emoji6]
Very good news that you didn't have significant damage. I hope you'll have everything repaired & back to normal soon.
^ugh. I don't want Maria to come here or go in the Gulf. She just needs to follow Jose out to sea. Please don't let this hurricane season be like '04 & '05. [emoji1317]
^[emoji23][emoji33] I'm gonna need you to leave the area [emoji23]Irma and Maria were both names of my grandmothers and great-grandmothers... I don't believe in ghosts or spirits but s**t is getting weird.
^I thought about doing that. Wish I had now.
I think the ones on the left should be Harvey & Irma (not Matthew from last year), but I didn't make this. It's still funny though.

Agree, family names here too.
I hope this current batch doesn't hit anyone. I am nervous though. They do seem to arrive in groups.

[emoji484]I just want to repeat that my mom & dad have power, so I've been staying with them for a week. I'm very grateful that I had someplace to go.
My outage status still says it'll be fixed by midnight Monday. I hope that holds. My neighbor called this afternoon to say she'd seen power company trucks (from out of state) on the next street. That's a very good sign. If it was a local truck, they could be only assessing the problem.
Stop it with Hurricane Jose, Tropical Depression Lee, & Hurricane Maria.

I'm hoping Maria doesn't come this way, the waiting and watching game is hard.
Frick - lots of people that I know that were without power and weren't supposed to be restored until Monday got it back yesterday/today. Any luck?!

I can't face the thought of Maria.
Not yet. It's GOT to be some time tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
I don't want to seem like I'm complaining; I'm not. I'm lucky that I've had somewhere to stay that has power. I just want to sleep in my own bed.
