Tropical Storm Ike

    Danke, aber wir packen ja schon wieder. Am Donnerstag kommen Freunde aus Deutschland und dann gehts nach Marco Island. Hoffen wir, dass Ike es gnaedig meint mit Florida, dass unsere Plaene durchgehen. Leider haben wir in dem Haus auch keine Internet, also bleibe du mal schoen am Ball. Gruesse in den Sueden,

    Hi Gus , du bist ja nur noch am Urlaub machen :chill:


    Hab grad die letzten Spaghetti Modelle gesehen , Ike zieht wohl ueber die Keys hinweg die Golfkueste hoch , hoffe das versaut dir nicht den Urlaub :cursing:


    Hurricane jetzt im Moment wieder Kat 2 , aber nach Landfall in Kuba wieder Zunahme erwartet, evakuierung der Touris auf den Keys hat bereits begonnen und die Residents folgen dann am So ab 8.00 morgens


    Sag mal Gus kannst du mir mal erklaeren wie ich die Bilder von den Modellen hier auf die Seite rueberkrieg? bekomme das irgendwie nicht auf die Reihe ?(

    Die Verwuestungen auf Kuba sind schon gewaltig. Da moechte ich nicht sehen, was z.B. hier in der Gegend passieren wuerde. Die aeltere Trailorparks wuerden wohl alle platt sein. Aber wir wollen ja nicht spekulieren. Lasst uns hoffen, dass der Landfall in Texas nicht so stark wird, wie vermutet.

    Das ist eine gute Grafik...bei uns ..wie auch sicher bei Dir Gus, regnet es gewaltig....und wir liegen ja nun wirklich am aeussersten Rand von IKE's Wolken. Nichtg auszudenken, was hier los waere, wenn der nur knapp an uns vorbei ziehen wuerde... Hoffen wir mal, dass die Gegend um Corpus Christi (TX) rechtzeitig evakuiert wird.
