Huricane in FL
check this out
Bush declares major disaster....
est 15 billion in damage.....
winds to 140-145 mph....
lots of people killed in Cuba.....
sorm surges of 10-15 ft of water off the coastline....
I can tell you this....The NOPI race should have been canceled WED!
I know people who flew in today....waiting for the transports to show up with the race cars....
Gary seems to be one of the smart ones!
Just so you guys know Florida is sea level.....storm surges of 10-15ft can put that much water around 20-25miles inland! Moroso is pretty close to the coastline.....Even if the Huricane was off the coastline by 150-200 miles the whole state would be affected.....
WED I tell you!

Re: Huricane in FL (A train)
Thats kinda what I thought....How about the familys that did get affected that planned on going to spectate or race that will not show up to the race so they can help support their community......If its clear I do not think the moral is gonna be high at this event...I might be wrong though...

Re: Huricane in FL (AR Fab)
I am down here now, hanging out with some friends. I was at the track earlier today.
who is there already?
Effantis, Arslanian, Kubo, Feehely, Norris, Ten, Nass', Titan, Callos, Demerae, Saul, Brain Ballard, Jeff, Abacus, and a few others I don't know. There was actually a lot of racers there already.
We didn't see any rain here at all today. Weather should be good the rest of the weekend with a few of the regular southern florida afternoon thunderstorms.
I have a brother and a lot of friends who live around Tampa and St. Pete, they did not fair to well from this storm.
Bad thing is, Tropical depression 5 is right behind Charlie. Danielle is heading to the SC/NC coast probably over Bermuda: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/gr...253W5. TS 5 is heading right behind Charlie, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/gr...5.gif. There are a few more storms just coming out of Africa now that will also effect the east coast severly in the next few weeks. These will also be bigger then Charlie. I hope I am wrong but it is not looking good for the East coast the next few weeks.
Well, I am here in Florida and so are many others. I can tell you that the locals here are ready for this race and those in the immediate area are still coming.
God Bless all those affected by this storm! I pray loss of life is at a minimum!

100% die hard.....Just be careful I believe the route you choose will affect you getting there on time or not.....
Good luck guys

Re: Huricane in FL (AR Fab)
Think about it guys....Is this really worth losing lives over?? It pretty dangerous when this kind of mother nature stuff occurs...
For those that are "so" die hard and still on the way down, becareful of the down power lines, no traffic lights and other stuff caused by mother nature
