Robash Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Yup, this place is used to hurricane force winds in the winter and its definately nothing like Katrina was...local weather at the base is forcasting 70-100 mph winds and the storm is supposed to travel 31 miles north of us. i got waters and stuff like that but im going into work 9 hours after its on top of us so, i dont think we have to much to worry about...but thanks for the concern weigie, i appreciate it Edited September 19, 2006 by Robash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robash Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 that was kind of dissappointing...didnt even wake us up. the hurricane passed us 30 miles to the south of the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robash Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Azores, literaly this place wasnt scared...it was kind of funny. alot of portuguese people i knew were still going to work at night, going to soccer practice...all after the sustained 65mph wind warning went into effect. the only differance bettwen a tropical storm and the winter here is no rain :P the base shut down and prepped for the worse, my portuguese friends laughed at me when i asked them about it...one said thunderstorms dont scare me :P thats really when i wasnt worried about it anymore...but it ended up missing us anyway...i thought it was funny when helene took a u-turn right for us. but it even isnt gonna come close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
