4. It is a big ass storm. The rain bans have been hitting FL and GA since
Friday.

When they say 300 miles away they are saying the CENTRE the EYE is 300 miles away.

14. Oh yeah...
...when Katrina went thru Miami (mind you it was Cat. 1 then, STILL NO PICNIC!) I got rain 150 miles north of it. And I've been getting this crap from Wilma for a few days now! AND I'M IN CENTRAL FL! Oh man, let the party begin!!!!! And the weather tonight was LOOOOUSY. Anyone in this area notice something?! Notice there was virtually NO animal activiy?! All I saw today were 2 deer and 2 small birds. THAT WAS IT. And there's usually a HELLUVALOT more than that. Uh, folks, THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN! This is however another sign: If you are in South FL or Central FL: PUT YOUR HEAD BETWEEN YOUR LEGS, AND KISS YOUR ASS BUH-BYE!!!!!!!

5. Got it, LuCifer.
We all know that FPL can't keep the juice on when a slight breeze blows. And my ISP has been down most of the week -- must be "practicing" for Wilma or something.

Stay safe!

8. I know right!
We get a power-flicker out here every time a squire farts! FPL, FloriDUH Plunder and Loot!

And having cocksmoker Jeb!® BUSHitler (still a douche-mokney: Jeb.Bush@MyFlorida.com ) as gov'r ALONE qualifies this state as a disaster zone...hurricane or NO hurricane!

So, before my power goes out here in Okeechobee Bumblefuck Egypt, I have to ask, SO HOW BAD IS Jeb!® GOING TO FUKU UP THE HURRICANE RESPONSE
*THIS* GODDAMN TIME AROUND??!??!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!

My co-worker was right, Wilma IS a bitch with PMS cuz she don't know what she's doing! Hey, Wilma...got a suggestion fer ya partner...EITHER GO BACK TO BEDROCK, OR, GO TO TALLAHASSEE AND WIPE OUT THE PRICKASS's GOV. MANSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lu Cifer, time to get out my "HURRICANE GO TO TALLAHASSEE" VOODOO DOLLY!!!!!!!!!

12. As of now...
I don't have much choice, cuz my stupid job (I'll give you a hint, you pay to ride a certain road...) as dicks and tho they are lifting tolls (another hint!) at 6 AM Sunday morning, we STILL gotta go to work! What the hell!? My place made it thru Francis AND Jeanie last year, AND, in both case, the EYE WAS RIGHT OVER FT. DRUM, HERE, GROUND ZERO! I was like OH CRAP! (I was out of town for both, go figure!) So, I think stuff should be ok...but it's the AFTERMATH that's the REAL problem! I feel a cough coming on *COUGH*FEMA!*COUGH* and another *COUGH*JEBTHEASSHOLE*COUTH*

Lu Cifer, remember Jeb BUSHitler's quote from last year? "BUT WE DIDN'T EXPECT A HURRICANE..." you MORON! HEY JEB! WHAT STATE YOU IN?! Idiot...sorry to be redundant, since he's a Bush after all!

16. How do you suppose the Fundamentalists explain the fact
that Wilma hit Yucatan and is headed for Florida, but circled around and avoided Cuba.
