Hurricane Earl...

I've gone thru what was called a cat 3 once ......the hell it was ....it was a full blown cat four that was a very scary place to be as a kid we lived on the top of St.Thomas about 1490 feet up and we had a south east exposure and could see to the west a bit too...that sucker came up thru the chute between St.Thomas and St.Croix the "house " we lived in at that time was a circa 1950's trailer, it was anchored but we felt the trailer lifiting off the pad
Ithink I was 12 or 13. SInce then I have weathered quite a few different storms of various degrees.......I don't fear them but I do RESPECT them deeply

 

That is the scariest place to be wether it is a full on cane or even a severe thunderstorm

 

Yeah that definitely sounds like a Storm Stories show waiting to happen

 

Yeah sometime the "experts" are so wrong and sometimes it costs people their lives because they are too trusting in these people

 

2115 hours...........

pressure down to 912mb.

Earl is gaining strength !!!!!!!

 

Not good not good at all

 

No worry for you at home though.

But, I was wondering why they were trying to get me to go SE when I checked on loads when I got back in the states and had not been on the computer to check weather yet.
