Title: GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on September 14, 2004, 01:24:54 am Well, as some of you may know, I live on the beach on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Hurricane Ivan is currently a Category 5 (the most destructive category) and is heading my way. I will be leaving Mississippi tomorrow night for North Louisiana (my wife's sister has a house there) and may not be back for a while depending on the power/devestation situation. If it misses us or does little damage then I will be right back, but if it is really bad and actually strikes us as a Category 5 then I may not be back for weeks. So anyhow, if you don't see me for a while, that is why.
P.S. Many people don't leave the area for Hurricanes. I find that to be rather stupid personally. You don't really get any warning for earthquakes, volcanos, and tornados (I have lived in places with all 3 of those), but you do know when a Hurricane is coming, and you are able to leave its path. So I'm doing the smart thing and packing up my Wife, my 5-year-old Daughter, and my Macintosh and heading out of town. Hope none of the rest of you are in the way of this Hurricane (the only one I know of for sure is former BTs_Tosh, who lives in New Orleans, LA...about an hour drive from me). Peace. -GhostSniper Out. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Typhy on September 14, 2004, 02:00:09 am I couldn't agree more about people who don't leave their houses for hurricanes. My grandparents used to live in Florida, and I helped them prepare their house for hurricanes several times, before leaving it. It's the sensible thing to do.
Best of luck, look forward to seeing you back soon. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: spike on September 14, 2004, 02:02:21 am Yeah good luck, I hope your family and your house survives intact.
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: *DAMN Bondo on September 14, 2004, 02:59:10 am I don't know if I'd leave town for a hurricane. I'd volunteer to help with officials. As an Environmental Scientist who has done some climate/meteorology study I very much would want to stay and witness it, but keep safe, just like all the media people and such.
Anyway, I hope the hurricane manages not to cause much damage and everyone in the region gets out as best they can. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Maniac on September 14, 2004, 04:42:33 am Get out of their those 160 plus winds will destroy a lot shit. Good luck to you and you're house and any extra cars you might have. Also to any one in a mobil home that is stupid enough to stay. I'll call you from Texas and tell you to come pick you're house up.
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on September 14, 2004, 06:29:11 am I too am the type person who would stay to help out.. But thats also b/c I used to be a firefighter and I still have my EMT cert. Plus I'm also a emergency comunicator with the HAM radio group in my area.
My grandmother and all my mom side of the family lives right in the past of the storm. They are leaving to go to alabama to miss the strong part of the storm, Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on September 14, 2004, 03:16:10 pm I don't know if I'd leave town for a hurricane. I'd volunteer to help with officials. As an Environmental Scientist who has done some climate/meteorology study I very much would want to stay and witness it, but keep safe, just like all the media people and such. Um, guys, if this thing hits as a Category 5 you may not survive TO help out. I'll be back right after it hits to help out....but there is no way I'm staying in my house on the beach waiting for a 20 foot storm surge to roll over me. Peace. -GhostSniper Out. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: crypt on September 14, 2004, 09:26:43 pm Best of luck, look forward to seeing you back soon. I think Typhy just wished you good luck, GS. Instead of him saying I hope you die on the way out of town, he wished you good luck and hoped to see you soon! Lets see you come back with something nice! Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Maniac on September 14, 2004, 11:10:52 pm Typhy wants someone to argue with, and if GS is gone then i'll take his place. ;D

I think God is angry at us. Wonder why... Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Brutha on September 14, 2004, 11:21:56 pm Hey GS...good luck, and nice to see your priorities are in order:
Wife, kid and mac. Thats the correct order. And yeah, three tornadoes in a month...i wonder when those conspiracy theorist are going to come up with Mr X on the moon with a weather control ray ;) Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Mr. Lothario on September 14, 2004, 11:52:06 pm It's obvious God is destroying Florida so that Bush doesn't win.
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: "Sixhits" on September 15, 2004, 02:58:57 am It's obvious God is destroying Florida so that Bush doesn't win. I was actually going to blame Gay's and Liberals for God's wraith, but that's just me. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on September 15, 2004, 07:01:54 am And yeah, three tornadoes in a month...i wonder when those conspiracy theorist are going to come up with Mr X on the moon with a weather control ray ;) No not tornados...... Huricanes... alot bigger then tornados AND. I just found out that my family in florida (1 grandmother, 4 aunts, and 7 cusins) are going to ride out the storm in a shelter near Panama City, Fl.. Plz keep them in your prayers. Thx Harv. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Brutha on September 15, 2004, 08:13:34 am ooops...my mistake...of course i meant hurricane ;D
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BFG on September 16, 2004, 07:26:13 pm Its a good job there is no such thing as environmental change and global warning isn't it! Otherwise we might end up getting nasty extream weather conditions with Hurracanes and flooding... doughts and killer heat waves...
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: Mr. Lothario on September 16, 2004, 07:33:30 pm Don't be silly, BFG. Everybody knows global warming is just left-wing junk science!
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BFG on September 16, 2004, 07:57:42 pm Oh Im sorry i know, i mean DUH... its not like the weather patterns have changed at all - or that the gulf stream has changed, or that we are getting more and more extreame weather conditions. Shit thoses commy lefty weather men probably made up the whole idea of the gulf stream.....
Well i better get back to building our flood shelter on top of this big hill...... Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: seth on September 16, 2004, 08:50:47 pm bah i think for once GS is right. Better take care of yourself and your family first, and then if you wanna help people out, do it.
Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: |MP|Cringe on September 16, 2004, 10:18:36 pm GS, Best of luck to you, your family, and hopefully, your house.
I hope to see you around again soon. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on September 17, 2004, 04:26:22 am Looks like the south is about to get spanked again, a fourth hurricane is brewing in the Atlantic.
Good luck to you GS (granted, late, since its just a storm now) but, hope the next one doesnt hit you. Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on September 17, 2004, 09:03:28 pm GhostSniper is BACK.
Glad to see not too many FFA's were performed while I was gone (thanks BTs!). I am happy to report that the only damage to my property is an uprooted tree (that did not land on the house!). I have my G5 back up and running at my house (power is back on and all), and I should be ready for some FFA action tonight! w00t! P.S. Harvey, have you heard from your family in Florida yet?[/size] Title: Re:GhostSniper Going Out of Town... Post by: crypt on September 17, 2004, 09:30:31 pm Great to have you back, GS.
Well, I'm off to play some more Fable. (been waiting for this game for 4 years) |
