Pixies CD ~ Hurricane Ivan
 

With the blessing of modern metrological forecasting, comes the redundancy of many days of preparation and familiarity with something VERY serious and dangerous. Today is likely to bring events that will NOT be casually. Our thoughts are with you all in the area.

It appears this will have grave effects on more than one state. I am posting a map of the southeastern US with pixie location. While we know of members in the area that are not shown, this is current as of this posting. This area has 4 states with members that will be immediately effected. We look for the reports from those that have asked to be shown, but also hope to hear from the others we know are likely to be visited by Ivan.

Keep your heads down and your panties dry ………………………. from the outside. ;)

So you're all fucked?

OMG:eek: Are you sending the flying monkeys too?

Be safe everyone!

*hugs*

Just to you, love.

Is that the logo for the dating service?

My prayers are with everyone in the way of this terrible monster. Be safe!!

^^^^ is still doing the naked anti-hurricane dance

LOL wyndhy....a watermelon......honey.....naked dancing......hope it works!!

Thank you PF for all your hard work on the maps, they're Great!!

Sending good thoughts and prayers to all peeps in Ivan's way. Take care and be safe!!

Yesterday most of the area evacuated saying that Interstate 65 was bumper to bumper, taking 5 hours to get 3 hours away...and an aunt in law left here yesterday to Orlando which should have been a 6 hour drive, took her 13 hours. But they are saying they are glad everyone is hitting the road taking precautions. I am north of the Gulf.....we're home and waiting on midnight when it's supose to be worse for us. The power company says if we loose power, we could be out for 3 weeks.

This is so aggrevating to just sit and wait and wonder......

Ya'll take care!

I am so fortunate...after 2 days of being the X marking the intended spot, I should get some bad wind gusts but be fine.

PF TY for putting together visuals at a moment's notice!

Yikes 3 weeks!! You'll need a Hampster and wheel to run your PC!! Take IWM.

I know exactly what you mean, IWM. One of the girls in my building called me and said that it took her 22 hours to get to Houston from New Orleans (normally a 6-7 hour drive). I personally am sticking it out and hoping for the best. My empathy goes out to all the other affected pixies. :hug:

Yeah, will I be craving an air conditioner or pixies..... hhmmm????

I will find a way to check in tho....even if I have to text message someone to tell them to let ya'll know ;)

The tornado warning system is going off constantly alerting of twisters.

Yep here too! I hate thisssssssssss

Lil? Do you know any details about the alert equipment system? Is this by chance something new happening under conditions you have witnessed before? Have you heard anything about new equipment being installed, used or tested?

I know NOTHING about ANTHING!, but as I read your note, it struck me,… rapid, isolated barometric pressure differentials would be VERY difficult to monitor or isolate during high velocity, massive air movements. Could the sudden, random, small but violent pressures differences accruing that produces the tornado effect, be used to automatically activate a self powered alert system for the immediate area?

I’m thinking out loud and probably out of my ass, (as usual) but the two simultaneous posts from different locations just shorted a synapse. :shock:



Heah! If nothing else, the 10 seconds you spent reading this gave you a mental brake from the lashing wind. ;)

We are not having high winds yet. Supposedly sensors have picked up several small weather anomalies that are symbolic of tornadoes. They are just using the typical emergency broadcast system stuff on the radio etc to warn us when those small movements have been detected. We are in a watch or warning til about 3 am here but they expect it to be extended.

So far a couple of small limbs for me but it's the Alabama peeps and IWM and dick that are about to have a bad night.

In an area close to me, three people were killed by tornados..... :( The wind is picking up.
I'll check in as I can.

Yay!!! Morning and I have power and cable so far! The trees are just all over the place, whipping in circles. Trees are down all over the town and 7 are dead in Florida (5 near me) from the tornadoes.

Glad to hear from you Lilith and that you can get on line and have power is good news.

I just got an IM from Joe (#10 on the map) Their power is down but he still has phone so he could hook up on his laptop. He says the winds are still pretty bad and a tree is down in the neighbors yard. He ask me to post here and let everyone at least know that he is OK.

Now we just have to hear from IWM.

300,000 in her area are without power, hopefully she will call someone.

As a side note, Music City hotels are filling up with I-65 refugees, & we are already getting some rains with much more expected...some of the hotels are offering hurricane discounts, we like to be hospitible here...

Woke up today and it was sunny. :confused: Am not asking questions...just relieved New Orleans is ok.

Still hoping that IWM and other pixies are out of harm's way. :grope:

Just hope all our Pixie family is okay. Glad you've got power, Lil. Been a lot of prayers up here for everyone down there. ;)

Thanks again for thinking about us everyone, and thanks PF for putting up the maps.
We just got power back last night. Still no TV cable. Several good friends lost their boats. The main east/west highway (US-98) is washed out in fort walton beach and just west of there a barge is parked on the highway that washed in off the intercoastal waterway. Don't know what the beach looks like yet, but heard they had 40 ft waves, so I don't imagine it looks very pretty. Still have not heard from IWM. Hope she's OK.
Joe

Power went out yesterday just after I posted I still had it....Jinxed myself!!!!!!


The cell towers and phone poles are all out in IWM's area. May be up to 3 weeks.

nikki

DOH didnt realize jeeping had been on LMAO spose ill go change the nick now hehehe

~nikki~

We just heard from IWM. She and her husband are fine. They have no power. She said it was the scariest thing she has ever gone through and that she will never do that again.

Let's hope she gets her power back on soon so our little Pixie perv come back to us. :)

Ty for letting us know...

That accounts for all that wanted to be accounted for. :jump:

Now we only have to hope our other members faired well. :(

have we heard from Bardog? I was AWOL...has he checked in?

He is ONE of the Pixies I was thinking about.

Hi everyone. Thanks for asking about us. We're alive. We lost power about midnight Wednesday night and had the most horrid night of my life. The noise was terrible. My sister and I slept in the hall way sitting on go to run to the bathroom for cover. Needless to say, we didn't sleep at all. We still have no power, my families house just got power, so we came for a hot shower. Our privacy fence was blown over, we have water damage to our dining room ceiling, gutters are gone and the fence hit my husband's truck and have lost all our frozen food.

This was such a horrid thing to go thru. But, I am very thankful we are alive. Could've been so much worse.

Take care and I'll check in as I can.

So glad you are safe.

Thank you so much. I just went to my grandmothers house and the ceiling of her bedroom and living room caved in, insulation is everywhere and the house is basically ruined.

Ok...let's see...where is IWM moving to????

very thrilled to see all who checked in are pretty much okay. if anyone needs anything, even if it's just a care pakage of toothpaste and campells soup, please let me know. good luck getting it all back together. :)
