Wow that is an awesome pic, you can see just where the edge of the hurricane is. That would be neat to see for real.

No hurricanes let alone rain here in California yet. Ho hum, I wish there was, I like rainy days.

I'd rather have hurricanes than earthquakes.

Earthquakes are better, most of the earthquakes are very weak, and do very little damage.

The major earthquakes are very ****ing bad though.

That's not a picture of Hurricane Isabel and probably not a picture of a hurricane at all.

Its still a real pic of a real storm though, and is still pretty neat. Just not Isabel.

1) Did you read the part after the pictures? It explains that they aren't actually from Isabel.

2) Don't ever do that again

*shrugs and walks away*

*I'll be watching*

Ginkasa · 09-22-2003, 05:54 PM

Yeah... They prove and disprove various urban legends and other such things..

Like this picture which they proved was not Isabel...

I know it is kinda late to reply to this, and that I haven't posted in ages, but Isable hit Virginia beach and North Carolina pretty hard. Only 5% of the south eastern coast of Virginia had power...I was one of those lucky 5%. There were tons of power lines down and whatnot. The people who didn't have power didn't have it for 5-6 days. We were out of school from wednesday to the following thursday, and that was only a half day. So ya, I'd agree with local forcasters and say it was the strongest storm that has hit Virginia Beach in around a decade.

As I said, my family was one of the lucky ones. There was 8 of us and two dogs in the house, and we didn't lose power, cable, or phone once like the rest of the city did. I think we would have gone crazy if we would have lost power for nearly a week. Although, unfortunately a huge tree fell on our van, but the van only ha d a little dent. Besides the tree, a bunch of branches, 2 shutters, and 1-2 shingles, we were safe. As we rode around Virginia Beach afterwards..it was pretty damaged. So, in my opinion, I don't think it was any less than what forecasters said it was, but that's because I live right on the southern coast about 30 minutes from North Carolina.
