We are "celebrating" the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew here this week, and now we have Isaac way out there. Cone of uncertainty goes right over us. Arrgghh.

Wow, it's been 20 years since Andrew? I remember it well...I wasn't in it thankfully, I live in PA, but remember watching the news coverage.
This hurricane Isaac is really far out, way too early to say for sure. Last I heard, they weren't expecting it to be strong anyway.
Down here, saying that we are paranoid is an understatement. I was living in Tampa when Andrew hit, but my kids were in SoFla. My sons lost a few mangoes off there tree in Ft.Lauderdale, my daughter had her house in South Dade disintegrate around her. We got here two days later with a 1 ton Chevy van down on it's springs loaded with supplies. I will never forget what we saw when getting into the "Zone". It was interesting going through military checkpoints with a Taurus .357 on the dashboard of the van.
Joy, another hurricane.
Glad I moved inland. I am so over the Charleston hurricane season hype...
Mmmmmmmm. Hurricanes.
In reply to poopshovel:
Never looks as good coming up as it did going down.
In reply to poopshovel:
TV stations are already doing live shots from Home Depot.
Next, it will be from the grocery stores where all the bread and milk is being horded.
Mmmmmmm, milk sandwiches. 
I always buy the steaks and beer.

Having lived in both Florida and Georgia, I think this is pretty much exclusively a Georgia thing, though I haven't lived in Florida for 15 years or so, so who knows.

It happens in AL and MS too. Also happens in IN in the winter when they forecast 10" or more of snow. Bottled water also disappears in a hurry.
I'm partial to this one, on Pass-A-Grille:
I got hit by some of the rain it's flinging off and it's been raining all day. I took the Samurai for a spin in the fields after work, water was almost up to hood level in some places.

Happens in Texas too.
Yawn, wake me up when it's 12 hours from Charleston.
I'm sure the local new will do a 20 minuet spot about it and reference Hurricane Hugo at least twice. The Weather Channel is probably on 24 hour coverage until the wind stops blowing completely. It makes me glad I don't watch TV.
Good luck guys.
I hope to never go through another Andrew . I still have nightmares
Cone of uncertainty. Is that like the Cone of Silence on Get Smart?
