Holy cow, it's category 5! Good luck guys, and I suggest getting out of there while you still can.
And I hope that band room and everyone that uses it for its proper purpose (like a band) will be alright.

I supose I should post in this topic:
If Ivan Hits the panhandle(It probubly will; We didn't get any of Francis or Charlie)...I'm leaving; there's a mandatory evacuation for everyone within 5-10 miles of the water.
So you may not be seeing me for a while(due to power-outages ect.).
We've already bought plywood and some storm shutters, filled up gas tanks, got papers in order etc.
So send some luck our way will ya?

Even though all these hurricanes don't affect me cuz I don't even live where hurricanes can hit it's still kinda scary. Who knows how weird weather is gonna get. It was really rainy and cold all summer in Michigan anyways. I never should have watched The Day After Tommorow STUPID ME!!!!!! 
Cuz now I freak out about every little weather thing.
Good Luck to all you people that have to deal with hurricanes though.

That makes me feel slightly better for making fun of Jeanne. Because... my RP name is Jeanne. I started calling myself a hurricane because of that XD

And Now Jeanne looks like it'll head right over me. 
Well it's been about 3 weeks we're due for another one

The remnants of Ivan caused some really bad flooding here last weekend. Of course it was nothing compared to the areas that were hit when it was still a hurricane, but it was the worst storm damage I've ever seen.
There's a drainage basin right outside my dorm window, and when I woke up on Saturday morning, it looked like my roommate and I had chosen a room with a view of our own private pond.
My university is right on a river, and that was where most of the flooding came from. My roommate and I went on a shopping trip on Saturday (the rain was over by then), and we saw a car almost completely submerged and a backhoe about halfway submerged.
The flooding reached its worst stage on Sunday. One of my friends was trying to get home for his grandmother's birthday, and he ended up having to turn around and come back because so many bridges were closed.
A bunch of the schools in this area were closed on Monday. A lot of schools back home were closed too, because I live close to yet another river.

Ivan is an immortal hurricane if there ever was one.
First, it ravaged Barbados, Trinidad, Granada, Jamaica and Cuba as a Category 4/5 storm.
Then it blasted northern Florida, Alabama, and Georgia.
After, it swept through Virginia causing severe flooding and 40+ tornados.
Then it pounded D.C., pounded Maryland, killed a few people in Pennsylvania and caused major power outages in Connecticut.
And now, NOW, Ivan's tropical storm remnants are in the gulf, about to hit Texas.
And everyone in Florida is running around trying to make last-minute preparations for Category 3 Jeanne. Luckily for me (I live in Miami), Jeanne is supposed to take a sharp turn north soon, so I should come out unscathed.
