she has been watching the doppler radar to se what the hurrican was up to. It tore two limbs of a tree in their drievway but otherwise they were unscathed.
I dealt withour earthquake in the same way
log on and ask a friend "was that a quake ?"
Hurricane Rages North to the Nation's Capital:
"Even before nightfall, visibility was no more than 100 yards, but people in pickups and even on foot kept venturing out to look at the beach road, Highway 12, which was a maelstrom of stinging sand and spray, flying two-by-fours and paint buckets, and hidden obstacles of nail-bearing roof and deck debris.
'I'm just watching the morons drive through this,' said Fire Chief Doug Penland of Kill Devil Hills, idling in his four-by-four with another firefighter from a safe distance."
Townies have no idea that weather can kill -- them too
DenverPost.com - NATION/WORLD: "More than 300,000 people in North Carolina and Virginia had been urged to move to higher ground. Even seasoned storm veterans gave in to the five days of warnings that started when Isabel was a Category 5 leviathan with 160 mph wind.
But a few thousand hardy - or foolhardy - souls ignored evacuation orders. Virginia Beach police suggested they write their names in permanent marker on their forearms so they could be identified if they are injured or killed.
At Howard's Pub on the Outer Banks' isolated Ocracoke Island, bartender James Tucker said he and five other employees resolved early today to 'hang out and drink beer until the cable runs out.'
A hurricane warning remained in effect from Cape Fear in southern North Carolina to the Virginia-Maryland line. A tropical storm warning extended northward to New York's Long Island, including parts of New York City.
At 3 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. Colorado time), Isabel was centered about 50 miles east-southeast of Greenville, N.C., the hurricane center said. It had picked up speed, moving northwest at around 20 mph. Isolated tornadoes were possible in eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia." much snipped
