How are you supposed to buy bottled water, order pizzas and chinese food, and use the internet if the fucking power goes out? I also wonder - does he think people from Toronto should go to Florida?

Fantastic

HEY mods please pin this.. Thanks

Suggesting *PIN* please, for info and development of Isaac the next 48 hours as it heads towards Florida.

Bitchin"! Surf's up, schools out!!!

Its zeroing in eastward, so, it could pound Florida West coast.

Isn't it strange its not a hurricane yet?

Schools have been closed for Monday in the Florida Keys. Hope it's not too bad, my boat is down there.

Latest on Isacc...friday 24th

COme on guys this heavy rain storm is still making news??

IT is still HYPE HYPE HYPE!!

Maybe it IS hyped up a bit yes, but a lot of rain can cause damage too:

Thread: Tropical Storm Isaac - think its not a threat just because it's not a hurricane?

yeah, if you're made of sugar...rain is deadly.

I have a boat in Key Largo, I hate these storms! Hurry and get past Isaac!

I am less then a mile from a bay close maybe 3 miles from the gulf coast.

I went to aldies today and really stocked up.
I don't normally buy canned food but I have a few months worth now.

I am freezing water containers in case the electric goes out I'll have extra ice.

I am moving everything inside and I am going to help my old neighbor move his stuff inside.

I just moved here but know the area and have many friends near by. Everyone will stick together we already do.
Living in Florida it's part of life.

I don't think the eye will hit here but we could be without electric for a few days. Or it could flood and we might not be able to leave.

Better to be safe than sorry.
Isaac looks almost as big as the state of Florida.
Stay safe

Yeah, it does look impressive, they always do! I think they look worse on radar than what they are. I have a home in Orlando but just recently moved to Savannah. But they are saying it might curve over and come thru Savannah! Just my luck, get my boat, my house, and then me. LOL I had storm supplies when I was in Orlando but since I moved to Savannah I've got no back up food or anything. I may need to go out and get a few things. These storms can cause power outrages way inland.

Generator- check
Water- check
Weeks worth of food- check
Weeks worth of Beer - ................??


I gotta go to the store BRB
