VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 26, 2003 Thanks, the Towncar and Ram actually belong to my neighbor. They have a lot of older trees in their yard and the cars would have sustained A LOT of damage had they stayed in their driveway. The Town Car might end up mine though because Norm, my neighbor has very bad eyes and can no longer drive. I've been debating on if I want to buy it or not. I currently have a '90 Chevy Caviler and a '97 Ford Escort so I'm more used to a compact car. The Generator held out for about a day and a half before it started spitting oil everywhere, so for 4 of the 5 1/2 days I was pretty much in the dark. I did have a 5" TV hooked up to my car though so I was able to watch a little TV and most important I got to watch Football on Sunday lol. Here's another video I shot today, video quality isn't great but you can see it. http://www.startrekfans.net/isabel/isabel2.ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy them too, I of course don't want to see anyone hurt or killed. Nor do I want to see anyone homeless because of a storm but I enjoyed watching it. It was amazing to sit on the front porch and watch what nature can do. THe winds were incredible. Many parts of Norfolk were under water and they came on the radio at the high point of the storm and announced that Area Fire, Police and EMT services were all suspended until further notice. Meaning that if you dial 911 someone would answer but no one would come to your aid. It's odd but I actually found myself disappointed when the storm was over, I look forward to the next.

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted February 28, 2008 I enjoy a good hurricane, as long as no one is hurt and the power isn't out too long they can be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted February 28, 2008 Yeah, I like the snow too. Don't get much of it here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Hurricanes have always scared me to death, I hope I am never in one, Pittsburgh got hit with the tropical storm remnants of Hurricane Hugo when I was like 9, that was bad enough plus I was in 4 Tornadoes......no I dont like anything that involves high wind, scares the crap out of me! I hope you get prepared and if one hits you good luck! Edited February 28, 2008 by Itchygomba69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
