Mantralord's LIVE HURRICANE COVERAGE thread.

[Mantralord]

I will be covering the hurricane in detail as often as I can until the power goes out, or until I die. I will edit my post with details. So here I go:

12:00 PM: Winds at 35 mph, who knows what happened, but the fuse box blew a fuse, so half of the house is without power.

12:30 PM: Fuse replaced, winds at 35 mph. The first outer band is making it's way across the city.

12:32 PM: Just found out that Al Roker is in the city and will be going through the hurricane too for some odd reason.

12:51 PM: Got third place in a game of CS. Winds probably still at 35 mph.

2:40 PM: Kagom showed up for some "stormchasing."

2:42 PM: Winds up to 38 mph. Expecting big storms in like an hour as the outer bands come in.

7:22 PM: I felt like playing D2 for 5 hours. Winds up to 45 mph.

9:51 PM: We were all bracing for impact, and then the hurricane suddenly stalled and is going at 4 mph now. Winds have dropped completely too. I think it's teasing us. It's only like 150 miles off the coast.

11:52 PM: It's started moving again...It's supposed to hit tomorrow at 2 pm.

Next day...

9:52 AM: Windy!

2:25 PM: Sitting at the eye wall, winds at 100 mph. Hurricane stationary on top of us.

7:58 PM: Power went out at around 2:30, so I went to sleep for 5 hours and woke up at 7:30. Power just came back on again; hurricane is now moving towards land, in 3 hours it will be at maximum. I will post pics soon!

Sept 7, 1:46 PM: Coming to you live off a generator. Power is out, flooding everywhere (except my house), and trees blown down!

EDIT: Attached pic of me standing in the eye of the hurricane! Although it doesn't look like it, winds do gust at like 90 mph in there, and it was very windy at the moment of the pic.

Gfg it's been 12 minutes since an update... Maybe he died?

[Grav]

Or Kagom showed up for some "stormchasing."

[Vollstrecker]

Apparently, Abby's father got 14 inches of rain in 2 hours on Monday in Richmond, VA.

The whole place is flooded. The bar he likes to visit has 8 feet of water in the basement, and 1.5 feet of water in the bar itself. He had a tree fall on his truck while he was actually in it, and his driveway is ruined (not like it was tha great before).

Glad I'm not out there. :x

[Mantralord]

3:51 PM: Rain! It has begun...it will only go downhill from here. Winds at 40 mph.

[tokill.ace]

Are you in your basement?

[wilma]

it must suck down there. Glad i'm all the way up here in Canada :D

[Silverjinx18]

Are you in your basement?

Aren't you supposed to stand in a doorway when there's a hurricane?

[`Insolence`]

Under your tub, in your closet, basically where stuff can't fall on your head.

[Medieval Bob]

You stand in a doorway for an earthquake.

I think for hurricanes, you just get somewhere sturdy... A basement or storm shelter would pwn because you're underground. Other than that, anywhere that you think the walls won't blow off... Generally, only the roof goes from what I've seen.

[Mantralord]

Bob, shut the fuck up.


No, seriously.... if the town starts going to shit, you could do some serious looting. I'd be camping outside of Fry's for the walls to start flying away.

[Mantralord]

They already arrested some people for looting.

Anyway, the hurricane is now stationary, and I'm sitting right on the eye wall at 100 mph.

[Penny_Bags]

holy fuck shit..... aaaand you are gonna die?

[D3V]

I live Near Jax, so I haven't gotten any rain or wind for that matter yet, but I just got back from the beach, and holy shit its rough out there. I went surfin' yesterday too and the waves were great. But now i'm waitin for the storm to pass and we'll get some great sets.

As of now the Hurricane has 'stopped' off the coast and isn't doing too much. Hopefully it'll reform, move north, and wipe out Jacksonville.

[Mantralord]

New Update!

[PureRebel]

GG! Hurry and post pics!! im pissin myself here! this is almost as fun as the time the cyclone was like 30-50 meters from my house out in the water! it was raining fish! and i was getting thrown around, and belted by water!

[timmay1113]

lol how are you entertained by the near destruction of your own body

[PureRebel]

lol how are you entertained by the near destruction of your own body


i would call it destruction, its more like severe bruising to almost everypart of your body, but an easier way to put it is being Tenderized!

[Mantralord]

I attached pic to thread!

[timmay1113]

Tenderizing ... You could just call it being a crazy mofo

[PureRebel]

well, if u knew me, it would probably be a normal thing-Eg. ive been off a cliff with an umbrella, but it only made me fall faster XD

[timmay1113]

and you didnt die why??

[Randuin]

Because he's gay like that

[yuna-rikku-pain]

i need advice

[PureRebel]

Because he's gay like that

me Gay? wow, i didnt know.. u wanna know why i didnt die? it wasnt too far down only like 5-6 metres.. and i broke 1 knee and both my ankles

[Randuin]

That's nice, close your browser, and slit your throat.

[PureRebel]

[Randuin]

Why do you even bother

[PureRebel]

i know.. my life>yours so i dunno how u live either

[Mantralord]

Omg, everyone got pwnd.

[Randuin]

So like you lived?

[Sovereign]

Appears so. But it looks like there is yet another hurricane headed towards florida.

[DaFrigginDoctah]

We can only hope.

[D3V]

Hey, that's not funny, I live in the hellhole elderly residing state known as florida. Hopefully we'll get smashed by Ivan and we'll have more time off school :D

[DaFrigginDoctah]

Hopefully you'll just get smashed by "Ivan."

[osmoses-jones]

ivan will hit florida in coming monday.

[Mantralord]

Oooh, maybe I'll do an Ivan live coverage thread!

[tokill.ace]

Mantra lives. D3V dies. Good exchange.

[Hades-Knight]

Mantra did you try to loot houses for people's motherboards and video cards? sent me card seks k?

[KagomJack]

dude, Ivan's already a Category 5 hurricane.

[osmoses-jones]

yah it supposed to be a bad one good luck d3v and mantra

[KagomJack]

keep you two in my prayers.

Hopefully they'll be alright...

[PureRebel]

maybe you could pray before you go out looting, just incase a few houses might decide to collapse on themselves.

[sheerx]

yes they say Ivan will be the strongest hurricane yet. It will in sometime between monday and tuesday of next week. It is currently a category 4 with winds up to 145 mph. Forecast says it is probable that it will get stronger on its way to florida. Terrible entertainment

[PureRebel]

i cant wait till its on tv.. *gets popcorn ready*

[tokill.ace]

On the news last night, they showed Cuba. Every fucking house was demolished. The winds were at 170. Mantra, if I were you, I'd get the fuck out.

[w00t.ace]

I dont want a FULL explanation to this, but why and how do hurricanes work, and what is the major danger of them?

[tokill.ace]

Them blowing everything apart.
