My PA28-151 is at KFPR. I'm a flight instructor.
Keep me posted. - With any luck it won't be too bad.
This is where my former business was before 05.

Breaking on Fox right now. "The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm could grow by Thursday into a hurricane as strong as Katrina, which struck the city a year ago Tuesday." (Story released earlier, can't find current update)

Not to be a smarta$$, but nontheless. You hardly have to tell Floridians, especially S. Floridians how to deal with a hurricane.
Lecturing us is a bit ridiculous considering how many we get every year.
We're DOOOOOMED!
Hey, Joe, I live in West Port Saint Lucie myself, but I'm in Pa right now.
Hopefully, we will escape the worst of it this time.
Not to mention the tsunami that might follow.....
Well, Katrina was a Cat 1 when it hit Florida, so that is on the surface accurate. And too many people didn't take a "mere" Cat 1 seriously, and 11 died as a result.
On purpose, he thinks he the chosen one.
Treasure Coast Airpark.
I expect the worst and prepare.
Gotta go now, gotta get gas and beer.
In FL they can't even force you to leave your home!
ernesto has a long and unlikely road to a cat 1 hurricane before florida...its barely a tropical storm at this point with no real consistent center of circulation. i would say a decrease to a tropical wave is every bit as likely as an increase to hurricane strength before a south florida hit/brush. that said...the carolinas seem more threatened with the potential of a significant storm should ernesto hold together and get offshore and head that way.
Is he suiting FEMA yet?....
When was the last time a hurricane hit Waco, Texas? Love that parody on Rush.
I just heard thunder in Atlanta, should I evacuate now or wait for lightning strikes?
lol
is it safe to come out yet?
Is this at PIPer? I remember seeing it after the storm...son-in-law works there.
Hurricane Andrew went on to hit Louisiana where the people there hollered louder than the ones in FL. I won't forget them wanting handouts back then.
since when is the approach -- nay, the possibility of an approach -- of a hurricane an emergency?
Does everyone appreciate just what happens to your cherished (and very much taken for granted) civil rights when the executive declares a state of emergency?
Think of the very term: state of emergency. You cease to live in the state of Florida (or wherever) -- you now live in the "state of Emergency." Have you read it's constitution? Did you elect its government, or vote on its laws? Do you know what your rights are in that state?
Do you really want to live in the State of Emergency?
wanton apostrophe alert.
