Everyone's calling it a hurricane, but I believe it was downgraded to a tropical storm before it ever got to the east coast...I could be wrong on that though...my point is there's been a lot worse that have came before...Isable is nothing compared to some

Re: Hurricane Isabel
It got downgraded to a tropical storm, and then I believe it got downgraded again to whatever is just a bit less than a tropical storm.

Re: Re: Hurricane Isabel
I was watching some show where they said that the news media is making this seem a lot worse then it really is.
Most of the clips of people being in strong winds are only because the people are standing in areas that create a wind tunnel. For instance I saw a clip on Leno where a news reporter was being blown around, but when he moved about 15 feet to the side, he was able to stand straight and it didn't even look that windy. The reason was he was out of the wind tunnel created by buildings and what not. Guess the news just needs some good footage to get viewers. |
I was watching the movie Earthquake today. Not that it has anything to do with this hurricane. But its a cool movie.

Well, thats just what I heard from the news. Maybe they lied.

I AM SO ****ING PISSED AGAIN. MY POWER WENT OUT AGAIN AT 5:45PM ON FRIDAY AND IT JUST CAME BACK ON AT 10:15 ON SUNDAY MORNING. Ahh......but at least I survived. Twasn't fun though, boring as hell, and very uncomfortable, because of the heat. I'm just glad it's back.
Oh, and sorry about the yelling, I was just venting I guess. I feel much better now. Plus I can eat food that I can actually cook. :burger: |
Yeah...My power was gone from 4 am Friday morning until about now. Pretty crappy with no running water, and all that other stuff, bleh. Three trees fell in our yard alone.

That's not a picture of Hurricane Isabel and probably not a picture of a hurricane at all. http://www.snopes.com/photos/isabel.asp Its still a real pic of a real storm though, and is still pretty neat. Just not Isabel. *shrugs and walks away* |

Re: Hurricane Isabel
Our power just came on... It went out around 5PM on Thursday... There was a wire in a tree going SPARK SPARK BURN BURN SMOKE SMOKE then eventually it went BOOM! And there went the power... 76 hours, no electricity... >_<
"I was watching some show where they said that the news media is making this seem a lot worse then it really is." Well, mastermind, I wasn't able to watch any of the news coverage, but I heard some stuff on the radio... Tons of people without power, some without clean water, worst flooding in DC in at least 30 years... And I don't think it was downgraded to a tropical storm until after it hit land... Of course it's not the worst hurricane to hit the US, but it's the worst storm to hit DC in some time... |

1) Did you read the part after the pictures? It explains that they aren't actually from Isabel. 2) Don't ever do that again :mad2: *shrugs and walks away* *I'll be watching* |
