Lol... Im glad that monster didnt hit Puerto Rico, most of my family lives there and it wouldnt be good for the island with all the problems it has already. With winds of 140+ mphs Fabian has, I would gladly take a plane and go to another place until that hurricane past. Ive been in about 5 hurricanes, my worst experience in 1998 with George with winds of 130+ mph, and none were really a thrill. I guess you could say it was interested but not fun, considering the 1 month wihtout electricity and the 3 weeks without water, and the worst.... 3 months without cable!

When your in a hurricane with winds of over 120 mph, everything around you seems to explode like in a nuclear bomb. Good news, none of my coins were harmed in any of the hurricanes.

I have yet to experience a hurricane - I think I can wait.

I've been through six hurricanes, and I didn't like any of them. Hurricane Opal in 1995 was probably the scariest for me, and also the most expensive being that I had to replace my roof. In any case, I don't hang around and wait for them any more. I'm a big scardy cat!!

Lol bob... I think Ive been in 6 too or 7... lol! I probably couldnt name them all, just too many of them.

Most hurricanes are just a little group of clouds that just pore water for hours non end, but some really scare the cr*p out of you. I cant imagine what would happen if this hurricane Isabela hits us now with the power that thing has.

[Bob P]

You certainly don't need Isabella running crazy down there Gabe. I haven't been watching it lately, but how does PR look as far as the hurricane goes? Gonna go to the North?

Puerto Rico is clear from the hurricane, but will get nice surfing waves on the north. I know that the Bahamas are going to get hit hard, and Florida, still dont know.

[Robert]

Look out Florida!

Looks like about a week away though...

Here's a wetherunderground link because I got fed up w/ the Weather Channel's pop ups.

Apparently its not going to hit us... wow, with 160 mph winds, its enough to take my house, and all the stuff with it and much, much more. I think its going to go north, like many other hurricanes do, but wherever it its, I hope it doesnt cause too much harm.
