Your time is comming. You might not have to deal with Hurricanes, but your state WILL drop into the deep blue that is the Pacific Ocean.

Me and you should find a bunker, get a generator, and post on massassi all through the hurricane, Spiral! I think I'm going outside during this one to see all the cool destruction. If I do, I'm taking a rope with me so I can tie myself to something relatively stable.

Crimson and Spiral:

Yeah I heard central florida is going to get 80-100 mph winds. Last time I got 110 being over by the airport. Which sux.

But being that it's slower it's going to probably cause more damage. And on tv the electricity companies were saying the fixes they did for Charley were temporary so if people lose power it will be for a longer amount of time this time, bleh that sux :\

Well, tommorrow, we are going to do the same procedures: Filling the tubs with water. Getting blocks of ice frozen. Filling different things with water to last us for however long we need it. My parents already bought canned foods, non parishable foods etc, batteries of all sorts, and I have this electric powered mini fan I bought at disney so that will be my savior! lol

Anyways, I hope they do fix the electricity quick, I think that's the worse part of this stuff. And hopefully everyone comes out of it alright. I have lots of friends back towards melbourne and all of that, blah. I'm not going to think about it cuz i'm going to start stressing. I think I tend to worry about everyone else during these things more then I do myself. Anyways u all stay safe, and Crimson, Dont go outside! lol

Laterz fellas lol

Bah.. it's going slower so it'll have more time to die down before it gets to us. it just said on the news it's gonna be 73 mph winds at max by the time it gets to Orlando... which is barely even concidered a hurricane.. granted this one is like 3 times as big as charly, but bucause it's so slow it'll probably shrink conciderably before it hits Orlando also. I for one am not worried. I just don't understand these people getting canned food and bath tubs full of water. Last hurricane NO ONE lost water.. cause the pipes are under ground... and how long to you plan on being trapped in your house to where you need canned food... a human can last a few days with out food. It's not a nucular fall out, it's just going to be windy... It does kinda suck that there won't be power though.. it's gonna get hot.. damn

Not to be entirely inconsiderate.. but what do you expect from living in coastal swamplands that are known to have an extreme instance of hurricanes and such. I live in Colorado, and i've never ever been in a hurricane here, just some major blizzards.

Though then again Hawai'i is incredibly volcanic and people still live /there/.. shrug.

Not to be unfeeling, but Hurricane are one of those things that whining will not help. You can't do anything aginst a hurricane but get out of the way.

Dormouse, I know that hurricanes happen here allt he time, but seriously.. if you take the last hurricane's path, and this one, and lay them both on the map, u'll see them intersect over Orlando.... where I live.. the frist one came fromt he south west and crossed over ue. the very next one came fromt he south east and it's gonna "cross" over us.. in a very literall way. BTW, now it says winds of 60 mph, and gusts up to 70... this is the dumbest hurricane ever...it won't even scare dogs

well now that it's died down it's not as bad, but hurricanes are unpredictable so personally i'd rather be safe then sorry.

Last time only certain areas were having to "boil water" because of pollutants etc. and the canned foods isn't because of "nuclear" this or that. It aint that dramatic. It's as simple as not having electricity to cook raw foods, so you get ones you dont have to cook and dont go bad without the electricity of a fridge.

It's the common sense of having lived in FL for a while and having been through lots of hurricanes to where it's happened in the past,that the other food have become unedible etc. And it's not about "staying in the house," but my family hardly eats out at restaraunts, unless for an occasion of some sort, it's cheaper to cook at home.

anyways though, I was worried, because it is supposed to make landfall back home where I grew up. and I have lots of friends down there that I have grown up with. Whatever though, hopefully it'll stay at a category 3. even if it is just 70mph winds it still sucks somewhat. O well luckily NOW it has died down (and as you put u wont get killed now that the winds are slower)whatever though, hopefully it'll stay that way. if not, o well at least I know my family is prepared

Well, I havn't lived in FL for very long, but I know my room mate Sean has lived here his whole life, and he seems to think it's a tad rediculas too... Anyway, Disney has generators, and they had power right after the first hurricane passes, I would expect them to do the same this time... Pleasure Island has plenty of resturants including a mcdonald's... also, most canned food tastes like a** if it isn't microwaved... like chefboyardi [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

no, it's very loosely based on Miami... I don't think it even has 1 building that's the same.. i think they just based the game's over all feel on Miami... just bright colors, palm trees and sunshine for the most part

Eh, personal tastes then. Sean is a sweetheart though so I wont debate his logic. I still say you should make his skin more improved. Add to his superiority since everybody loves him. The guy is cool Guess everyone just goes about things differently. But yeah, like you were asking about if you have to work, u're right about the power so they will prob. have you all scheduled, eh life I guess. And dunno i'd personally rather stick to sandwiches at home, then hamburgers, but again difference in tastes right [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Strange, theres a place in Newport Beach, CA. that looks like it was transplanted directly out of the game-- it has palm trees, pastel colored buildings, and even the wierd white traffic lights.
