Ok, electricity was restored to our house last night. 35,000 people in my area lost electricity, but some of them have had it restored. In Florida, 4 million people are still without power, and it's shaping to be quite a cleanup. Of course, Ivan is now on everyone's mind, as it seems to be heading our way now as well. All thanks to that big ridge of high pressure to our north.

Total fatalaties so far are 4 killed, and at least a hundred wounded. Damage estimates are just starting to pour in, but it appears that it shouldn't be as bad as Charley was.

fuck that duck
on the weather channel I saw this guy trying to get a multi mullion dollar yacht secured to a dock. The yacht was bucking so hard that it snapped off one of the dock posts. After like a hour the guy managed to get the yacht secured to the dock, but when he returns to it after the storm, he'll just find that it was beaten all to hell. Boats like that are better off if you take them out to sea *before* the storm arrives.... otherwise they'll just get beaten against the dock to death.
Assuming you want to try and fight the hurricane on the open ocean... boats survive the best on anchor. If you know how to anchor them, that is.

Or, when you here it is coming, you take the boat, and yourself, and go as far away from where the storm is supposed to be as you can.

Or you move to good old Northern Ontario, and just suffer the occassional snowstorm.

Basically it's supposed to take the same exact path as Charley, only a hell of a lot stronger.

Cause you built your house in a known hurricane zone?
