Law of Averages says we are due anyway - I could predict that

If they wanted to be helpful.....tell us which month, week and day it will happen.

Bring it on! I'm bored anyway.

I used to live about 30 miles inland and hurricanes never really bothered me, in fact most years I was wishing for one. I have to admit being on the coast now hurricanes make me a little nervous especially after New Orleans this past year.

I agree. That and we simply are in a very similar weather pattern to what was taking place both in the late 30's and 50's and it's a pretty safe bet something is headed our way sooner rather then later.

I'm glad we moved the Edge to higher ground. The land it used to sit on was thoroughly underwater in the '38...

Well if it does hit let it hit right before fall so it can take all the mung away from the back beaches, and make some nice rips and bars to hold some cows

Well, I'm 76' above sea level but according to the %^&*(%$ insurance companies, I'm in a high risk coastal area

I think they are preparing for the West African Eartquake induced Atlantic Tsunami... I'm about 20 something feet up and 1000 feet away from the Bay and don't need flood ins

Not talkin' about flood ins--I'm talkin' about regular homeowners

Gotta go thru FAIR. Maybe they're worried about the fire hydrant right across the street, which is the only water around for 3 miles.

Why bother regulating the effers---they do what they want, anyway

I watched a special on Discovery a few months back about a volcanic island in the eastern Atlantic,the name at the moment escapes me.Anyways about half this island WILL slide into the ocean.Its not a matter of if but when.The resulting wave will make the recent tsunami look like a ripple.Once it happens there is absolutely nothing you could do to get away from this short of being in a airplane or helicopter.The damage to the eastcoast of the US will be unimaginable.Scary stuff.

if we do get a big storm (which i hope we don't) let it come in early sept. then everyone will pull there boats out , most won't go back in and there will be plenty of elbow room during the fall run
