That’s right....depends on many variables from power, to power lines down, trees to remove....and the man power to do it all....some will be waiting awhile for sure....others not so much...time will always do what it does so well...it will tell.

Michael Savage came on about a half hour ago. He seems to believe that the storm blew out to sea, there's nothing to worry about, and that admonitions to take cover or evacuate are coming from alarmists. I turned him off.

Savanna heeding 1st mandatory evacuation since 1999 for Hurricane Floyd ...they've been taking Hurricane Matthew seriously

It takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away a vehicle. This includes pickups and SUVs.

He ight want to check in with these folks and others....More than 38,000 without power in Chatham County

if you resolve the FireFox problem later, please FRmail me with your solution.

I will, but I'm a technical idiot, so it's not likely.

Right click on the “invisible” photo and choose “view image”. You should be able to see the photos, now.

Thanks, TennesseeGirl!

Try reloading Firefox......

I gave up on Fire Fox pretty much....it’s slow and always have to fix something.....I use “SlimJet” now as I can’t use Crome on Vista anymore, which BW is the best IMO.

“SlimJet” is very much like Crome so it was easy for me to switch to that.....seems just like it in fact..it’s as fast as Crome and I’ve no problems yet.

Same with Savannah.

Learning lots of good stuff here—thanks!

I can tell you that that photo has gotten a lot of mileage along with a submarine one, a few other shark pics and the loch nest monster. lol :)

[caww]

I'm back.....it really bothers me when these guys downplay this storm....there are hundreds if not thousands who have homes underwater....no power....and may have to be hold up for days until the water ebbs away..some will wait weeks.....

These talking hosts and tv reporters don't know what to do unless there's hightened drama going on .....Hurricanes are not like Earthquakes and Tornadoes.....but the damage can and often is severe enough.

These people lost parts of their home...and others like them knee deep in water....

Got lights! Out for 4 hours...not bad. Had time for all those existential reflective thoughts about life without electricity..had some nice chats with neighbors. .walked the dog...not bad:)

[caww]

Oh no doubt and not hard to understand why it would....sharks do pop up now and then....

[caww]

Oh good!....I've had more than a share of power outages but there really aren't so difficult if you're prepared to endure the inconvenience of going without for a time...... ..and it's so QUIET without the hum of everything electric!
