Xaious, Master of Time Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Yeah. For any who've been noting it on the news, there's a rather strong hurricane in the gulf. And it's headed towards the general vicinity of...um....me...and the rest of southern Louisiana. Yup. Bring it on! We can take it. On a much greater note, I hope it destroys New Orleans...Not to be mean, but (as I've heard) N.O. is a money pit, and the tourism only brings in enough money for it to break even, and then (once more as I've heard) that 'they' are talking about not rebuilding it for this reason. Granted, that's easily doubtable, and doubted, but you know, oh my, the loting! (really, I don't want for that city to be destroyed...just flooded a bit. You know, to show them people they really should live somewhere..better....that Louisiana is NOT that great a state.) So yeah. A good chunk of family's coming stay at my house. Live in the highest part of this parish of Terrebonne (for the hell of it [i love these little sidethoughts] that means good earth), a greatly unmazing three feet above sea level. And because of this, my grandparents are coming over from further south (let's say about 15 miles away from here), even one of my brothre's friends is coming stay. Let's say that we'll have about 10 people staying in my not too large (not large at all) house. On a plus note, all my classes today were cancelled. Heh. Teacher had to board his windows. Then noon classes were cancelled. You know, I LOVE hurricane season! The rain, the wind, the possible danger even! Heck, last hurricane we had, me, my brother, and a couple of the neighbors were 'riding the winds'. We put on rollerblades and stood in the street holding flattened out cardboard boxes, as such to catch wind. Have you ever travelled at 20 miles an hour on skates without putting forth any effort? I have. And it is fun. (This rant brought to you by Me.) Now, also, I have another character that I made, ready for use on here... Him a planeswalker...(yeah..er...Wait til I post his back story before telling me how not good an idea that is.)

Lady Celes Crusader Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Since I'll probably never know the joys of hurricane season, unless I'll go there, I wish you luck and keep up that good spirit of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrfalcon Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Good luck with the hurricane coming your way, Xaious! I'll take a pass at wind-surfing with rollerblades though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptomancer Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 New Zealand gets cyclones now and then..... i would love to experence the raw power of a good hurricane though.... as to the roller blades thing... In school i had a mate that wind surfed, did the kite and rollerblade thing as well, but he also raced land yachts. A land yacht is a small hull of fiberglass, on three wheels with a big sail, and they are built for speed, *grins* now that in a hurricane would be fun.....

Xaious, Master of Time Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hmm...You may have a point, but I prefer the vast amounts of woods and trees and water....The Nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaious, Master of Time Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 But htis year, an upgrade to our skating doomajig. Bedsheets. They catch a lot more wind than cardboard boxes. Granted, it was enough wind to push me just standing there on them, didn't really need a sheet or anything else to catch wind. With gusts of over 35 miles an hour, oh god that was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptomancer Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 You may like surfing using a big parafoil kite for additional speed... or ... if you ever windsurfed (sailboards).... put a wind surf sail on a skateboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaeha Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 But there's a certain level of relaxation that can only be attained by playing Melee in the forest, rather than your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnius Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Well, Ivan has come (sort of) and gone here, in ye olde South Carolina. We got rain, wind, and heat lightning. Man, we haven't gotten a really good hurricane since Hugo... maybe I should move closer to a coastline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
