JERRY2KONE · **Hurricane eva 1980-84 -** 09.01.2010, 11:40 AM

I was stationed in Hawaii in the early 80's when Hurricane Eva came through. I was on call due to security issues at a top secret command at the time, and I got called in right in the middle of it because the 20' high voltage fence blew down in 140mph winds. I had to drive to work in teh middle of it to hook my truck up to the fence and pull it back up so I could tie it off on a tree until things calmed down, and on the way back home a two car garage blew accross the road right in front of me. It devistated the Haiwaian Islands. Then in 2004 my wife and I were stuck in a resort near Disney World when two seperate hurricanes crossed paths right where we were staying. I have had the pleasure of riding out quite a few storms in my lifetime. All I ever hope for is to get through it safely and without injury.

Things are really begining to whip it up around here now. Nearly 1AM and I am going to try to get a few hours of sleep. Check with you guys in the morning.
