Okay, now you "edited" it, and I can't follow this at all.
"when someone says they you about every thing..." Tell? Is this what you first asked?

"whats the difference between i tell you every thing and i will......" I will what? huh

Oooohhhh don't worry, sweets! Florida is only getting rain bands from Gustav. The hurricane itself is heading directly for Louisiana, about 400 miles or so from the Gulf Coast of Florida. Depending on where in Florida, that is. I think he's just fine! =)


Yep, thanks. By the way he is in Ft. Myers


Oh then no worries! Fort Myers is south of me, and a LONG way from Gustav! =)

It means they probably don't know how to shutup, and that they confide in me because they must feel safe talking to me about everything.

Beyond that, I dunno about some deep-seeded meaning....

I'd just go with: It means they like you. ::shrug::

The storm surge is expected of 10-14 feet above normal tidal levels near the center of Gustav when it crosses land.

As of 2:00 EST, the center of Gustav was located 25.9 North Latitude and 86.6 West Longitude. 270 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi. Gustav is moving northwest near 17 MPH, and is expected to slowdown in forward speed during the next 24-36 hours. Landfall is expected in the next 18-24 hours.

Reports from Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate maximum sustained winds are 115MPH, indicating a Category 3 onthe Saffir-Simpson Scale. Re-intensification is forecast for the next 12 hours, likely to regain Category 4 strength in that time. Hurricane warning has been issued from the Florida/Alabama border to the Texas/Louisiana border.

I was working with FEMA through, Charley, and Hugo.
The effects were very bad in florida.
Katrina, I only seen the aftermath of its terror.
And now with this one. It looks like the government and the states are trying to be very careful to warn early and to get everyone out before it hits.
If it does build as it crosses the gulf it could be even worse than Katrina was? And that would destroy all the rebuilding and the hearts of many who lived through Katrina.
Thank you for posting this so as everyone can see, be aware, and to maybe find some nice folks here who might have room to share for the ones needing to find shelter.
As "ALL" the motel's and Hotel's with-in 500 miles out are BOOKED.:cry: :heart: :heart:


Thanks for working with FEMA during Charley and Hugo. Those were NOT fun to go through!

I'd like to thank Ray Nagin for his swift work and dedication to his city in getting everyone prepared in NOLA. Nagin was criticized for his handling of Katrina, and rightly so, and this time around it seems everyone's learned a lesson.
