Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm about an hour from the coast so we aren't officially evacuated but still worrying. :/

I'm a little north of West Palm Beach - it's going to be bad. Still have a couple more windows to board up tomorrow morning. Can't believe they are talking about a possible second hit from this storm on Tuesday. Turk has to take a back seat for now.

Hopefully the giant red panda does the same.

I don't know what you're smoking Kerek but those little fox things are not red pandas.

THIS IS A RED PANDA.

imitated but never duplicated

Take care and be safe.

We are about 5 hours northeast of where Katrina hit a few years ago and it was very intense. Are you evacuating?

not sure what this is, or how useful

but the preview of the main hits this qual is for is shown at the end, and doesn't look too hard. not sure how much it'll be - if someone else has prior experience with them...?

qual for this says they arent giving it out anymore....but the qual is still showing up, seems like a waste
