The_Rev Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 The media over here report it is going to hit Florida.
maqroll Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 It just skimmed over the Keys, didn't do much damage at all...now it looks like it'll pick up speed in the Gulf before it hits land...
HolteEndRob Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Wasn't it supposed to be hitting Haiti as well? Or did they get away with it?
brommy Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 The media over here report it is going to hit Florida. I'm in Central Florida now and have just watched the latest update on the storm's progress. Isaac is moving North West into the Gulf and will not have a major impact on Florida. It's been a little breezy and we've had a few showers on Sunday but that's it so far. Still warm though, it's currently 26C at 01:25 in the morning. Today's forecast is similar. Looks like a second chill out day drinking cold beer whilst playing pool and table football in the villa games room. Oh well!
b6bloke Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 The storm chasing nut I share an office with says that the press are making more of this than it is and it is nowhere near a worry as he reckons at most they will get a gust of around 80mph which is nothing compared to anything bad that they have had before. The National Hurricane Centre will release another statement in 10 mins so will see what they say
tonyh29 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Was in New Orleans last week , I'm not sure the city can survive another Katrina like hit so fingers crossed it misses or doesn't go full hurricane
maqroll Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Was in New Orleans last week , I'm not sure the city can survive another Katrina like hit so fingers crossed it misses or doesn't go full hurricane Just declared full hurricane...and it's slowed down, which is bad news too...

3_Penny_Opera Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 What's up mates...I've been mia the past couple years but still following the Villa. Last year brought me down after getting the blue nose's manager and I wrote off the season pretty much. At the moment it's just rainy and windy, I imagine I'll lose power soon so I thought I'd send this shout out. You guys were so supportive of me after Katrina. You even bought me a villa shirt and sent it to me mums:) Anyway, it's just a category 1 so it shouldn't be too bad, but I guess we'll see. It is a direct hit, so here's hoping! I live on Jackson and St Charles avenue if you feel like looking it up. 1721 Jackson Avenue. I bartend at Arnaud's French 75 Bar and we're closed tonight and tomorrow night. Glad you guys are still keeping an eye out. Tonyh29, haven't we messaged before? Stop by my bar next time. Up the Villa, mates! 3po
HolteEndRob Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Welcome back to VT. I've been watching live coverage of it on CNN. They've got Anderson Cooper in New Orleans, looking like a drowned rat, standing by a bridge that goes over the Mississippi river into Downtown New Orleans. It looks pretty bad! Stay safe. All the best!
Tegis Posted August 29, 2012 VT Supporter Posted August 29, 2012 What's up mates... Keep your head down mate, and stay safe.
The_Rev Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 http://hint.fm/wind/ Might put it in the map thread at some point too.
mjmooney Posted August 30, 2012 VT Supporter Posted August 30, 2012 Nebraska/South Dakota region looks a bit blowy, too.
