Anyone know how Jim Phelps is doing? I seem to recall he said he lived in Florida(?). I haven't seen any of his posts in several days, and with the weather being what it is recently, I just was a little concerned... frown


EDIT: Anyone else living in the Florida area, I'm curious as to how you are doing as well and extend my best wishes to you.

I didn't know if he'd had to evacuate. Haven't seen any of his posts for several days, and he usually chimes in with *something*....

Your concern is appreciated, jenk. It's nice to know somebody at this forum cares enough to ask. smile

I'm between Fort Lauderdale and Miami (would not have had to evacuate) and there will be CAT 1-hurricane-level winds by tomorrow; we will no doubt have power outages and some hot, uncomfortable days ahead. It was originally supposed to be a *lot* worse.

However, fellow FSMer Onya lives on the west coast of Florida and looks to be in the path of Hurricane Irma; he and I have been in touch so I'll try to pass along any news I get if I have a way to do so.

Don't recall Jim's location. Was it Orlando or South Florida? Either way I'm guessing he's been understandably busy....

Florida is seriously fucked! And I don't say that lightly. frown

If it goes up the center of the state both east and west coast will get serious storm surge. Keys are done for. As of now it's shifted to the west. East coast maybe spared, now the west coast is about to be decimated.

And Jim posts right before me!

You needn't worry about Jim - he returns with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.

I never looked at Jim and Onya's profile and did not realize they were both in Florida. Yikes. This "somebody" cares and wishes you both the best and total safety.

Fivehouse quotes always lift the olde spirits. wink

Anyone wishing to monitor the storm, I recommend reading meteorologist John Morales' Twitter page. He (largely) avoids media hyperbole and is an even-keeled fellow.

He also supports Liverpool FC. wink

Having just survived Harvey here in Houston I can sympathize with your predicament. Harvey basically just parked itself over Houston and dumped up to 50 in. of rain in some places. Irma is a completely different beast that is dangerous in other ways. Please stay safe.

I think of JP as James Thurber thought of his editor (at the New Yorker), Harold Ross:

The sort of man who would be in the middle of a hurricane, thumbing through a dictionary, looking up the word "hurricane." big grin

A small portion of the west coast will get hit with bad winds if it doesn't move any further west as of the predictions today.

I'm in a part slated as of today to get tropical winds. Nothing we can't take care; we've had worse. The scare isn't hurricane-strength winds, it's the tornados is spawns -- that's the real fear.

However, if it moves further west too much, I'll get hit. My car can't take a trip and I don't have the money, so we'll see what happens to me then. I live in it, so I have to find a place to park where I can hopefully be safe and not have my car flooded, should it get that bad.

Glad to know you're alive and kickin' Phelps! Of course I care. ALL "FSM"-types care. smile

Stay strong... and be safe.



EDIT: I didn't know there was another thread at the time I made this one. Oh well, maybe you deserve two! big grin

Funny that actor Michael Caine used to live in Florida decades ago because he thought it was the only sunny place in America.

Have you met looters?
Are there any civil militia groups to maintain order and to fight delinquency?
Do the local authorities declare a curfew or a state of martial law?

In Saint-Martin, the aftermaths of Irma caused massive looting, the robbing of a gun dump and the imprisonment of the local authorities. The robbers were organized as an irregular army. The population was shocked…

could care less since the dickweed started attacking me for no reason on FSM ("regulars" like him are never called out by other members, another reason to dislike this site). Btw, there are OTHER people who live in Florida.
