How is that James?

I'm flying out of Washington DC on Friday morning, so I should be able to miss the storm… It looks like Irene won't be a Huge Hurricane at this time… My brother who works in Miami is going to fly his Cessna 182 North early this week as he only has a Tee Hanger in South Florida… Too bad this storm is not headed for Texas as they need the Rain!! My other brother lives in Jacksonville Florida and has never risen out a Hurricane before.

Being from California, I'd never experienced any hurricanes or typhoons until I moved to Okinawa. We had one back in May that ripped down half the trees in the forest adjacent to our house, and rattled our walls so hard I thought for sure our windows would break. While we were in the States earlier this month, there was another one that lasted almost 3 days! Glad to have missed it. It cleared out some more trees and left us with a clearer view of the Pacific!

I hope you and your brothers stay safe, AG!

I was stationed in Norfolk VA and we’ve had a couple Hurricanes back in the 1990‘s.. This persuaded me to invest in a good ole Honda Generator which I still own. I rode out Hugo on an Aircraft Carrier a good distance from the eye, but we did some Rockin N Rolling... Also rode out a very large one while serving on the USS Enterprise in the South Pacific... The winds were so strong we were breaking chains on one of our F14 Tomcats on the flight deck... LOL... I also deployed a couple of times for the Feds in Texas to repair damage after Katrina, etc.... So, I respect their power...

I was going back into Stocks Aug 22^nd, but changed my mind at the last minute due to concerns over Hurricane Irene. I don’t think it will turn into a major storm, but when I seen the Weather channel post it could be a CAT 2 or 3, that was just a little too much risk for my account, especially since I have a negative 5.3 YTD!!!... I still have one IFT left and I’m ready to pull the trigger later this month...

I'm going to wish it out into the mid Atlantic. handpoint.gif

Looks like the track is shifting slightly to the right, more out to sea.

Keep it up there Nnuut!
