Just an update from Central Palm Beach county. Its 510pm and the winds are gusting to about 80 or so with sustained at about 55-60. Not the "torrential downpours" yet, but the brunt of it has yet to arrive. Trees and powerlines are down everywhere and the last update that we got here at the station was that 500,000 without power in PBC. Nothing to do in the station now but eat, as the "program" that I was supposed to start on Wed has obviously taken a back seat. There are 2 shifts worth of FF's in the station right now (about 25) with no cable, no A/C and only some lame ass surfing PS2 game to play. Needless to say I bordering on insanity with at least another 2 days here. Sorry that I havent been providing more updates, but work has been busy. I should be able to give more, as they shut down all the Engines and Rescues, until the wind drops below 45 mph.
OG where in the county are you at???
Anabolic Member

Anabolic Member
Hey bro, good to see u still have power. Im knocking on wood i still have mine! The rain is coming down in sheets now and getting worse. They expect the eye to hit us around midnight (worst part of storm). Hang in there!!

**** i cant belive how long this **** thing is taking to hit...
one question though....what happens if the rain starts flooding the lower grounds???...are houses on stilts in florida, or are they all on hills???
I have no clue...cause here in northern texas with that much rain, everyone would need new carpet!
Anabolic Member
Unless your in the ocean there would be no stilts and there are no hills in florida... its just flat land. Flooding will be an issue
Banned
flooding is a HUGE issue right now bro, we are so close to the coast that its almost common to flood during a hurricane. especially one as big and slow moving as this one.
Senior Member
Juice, where abouts in PBC are you in? In the boynton/lake worth area, wind gusts are up to 90 mph. The EOC has said that we may not even get the chance for the break with the eye as the latest EOC report has it hitting hobe sound area. Either way, we are in for some major clean up. Glad to see that you, OG, and house of pain are still doing ok. Powerloss is upwards of 1 million so far. Hopefully the winds will die down so that FPL can get to work.
Anabolic Member
Ya bro, flooding will be a major issue with this Hurricane. She is moving very slow and dumping a **** load of rain. Its rained all day and im sure it will rain all night, and probably all day tomorrow. Time to get ur row boats out...errrrrrr

Anabolic Member
Ya bro, im going stir crazy now. I wish she would get here and do her thing and leave already. But it looks like shes going to hang around for a few more days atleast...eerrrrrrrrrrrr
Im just glad i still have power!!! Glad u guys do too! I just heard from my parents in Hollywood and they have no power. They are on there way to my sisters in Aventura. Good luck guys!

Yea stir crazy is right. Also i want to workout so bad. Im guessing the gym wont be open for a few days plus im running low on food. Glad you still got power. The wind is crazy now!
Anabolic Member
So it looks like you just might make it to the draft then??
Anabolic Member
Im crossing my fingers bro. The worst of it is supposed to hit us around 2 - 4am. My cable and internet went out for a few hours this morning. Im just hoping i make it through the draft tomorrow.
