Re: [RC] [RC] Hurricane Charley - Truman Prevatt

At 11 AM it was predicted to roll right over the top of my house. About 1PM it took a big right turn and its now headed over the top of your house. That's why I never move in these things - they can track you down.

We've had one very small shower and it's very calm outside. Of course it is a category 4 ( sustained winds of 145 mph) so it is going to hammer the hell out of someone. Tampa is sending people home from the emergency shelters. The people that ran over to Orlando to excape the hurricane are stuck.

All the naked riders can come on over to my house and we'll finish the party.

Be safe.

All weathermen must die!  Shit!  I'm really pissed.  You consider running at Category 3; a 4 or 5, if you don't hit the road, you're road kill!

Well, I guess the good news is we're the exit point; not the entry.  But, well, I'm sorry to inform ya'll at such short notice, the ride scheduled at my place, the ones with all the drunks and nakid people (or, combine the two), will not take place as previously scheduled.  I'm sorry, but, things have changed for the downside (damn, Friday the 13th, I should have known).

I was gonna cancel that nakid thing anyway, cause, well, truth be told, my mother in law, who lives in a mobile home down the road a few miles, was ordered by the county to evacuate  (Hear Ye, Hear Ye, all residents who reside in a mobile home are hereby and herewith ordered to evacuate thier mobile home of residence herewith and here now, and, so beith"), and, well, she's at my place.  SO, I WAS GONNA CANCEL THAT NAKID IDEA OF MINE altogether, when she show'd up, cause, well, if she got the idea to join us, my heart, it just could not handle the visual.  Damnit, I'm too young to die!

Sorry, but now that reality has kicked in, we gotta cancel all of it now; everything.  The shit has hit the fan.  We're all gonna die down here.  This is not a drill!  The thunder to my southwest sounds like some sort of Civil War reenactment.  And, since I'm not really sure if Florid is a Southern state, I have no idea which side I'm on.

Ashley, return to Tennessee, with that valuable, illegal, moonshine (it's to die for), and, save yourself.  If I survive, I only ask, you save me a swig.  I'll be back there soon, in my new home state (which, btw, has a verly low death rate due to hurricanes).

Those of you who were actually considering coming down, from out of state, God love ya, and, yea, I love a good party as well, but, please, do not.  Like my good friend, Ashely Wilkes (from "Gone With the Wind"), "SAVE YOURSELVES.  LIVE TO RIDE ANOTHER DAY."

cya,
I hope.  Howard (oh, God, she does have a very deep sense of humor; just when you think you're safe or something, damn, if it all don't change, lickety split, quicker than a Wal-Mart run for water and batteries)
