Just coincidentally, the first hurricane to affect my life was Hurricane Hazel Oct.1954 .
I experienced it in Washington.D.C. . Learned to respect the power of nature.
I am sure many others on this forum remember it's ferocity.
One heck of a storm for spending a lot of it's life over land and not ocean.

An interesting read about Hazel Davey.
My experiences with hurricanes is with the aftermath of hurricane Hazel when we emigrated to Toronto Canada in '57 and it was still in the news.
My next experience was when I was working in Raleigh N.C. with hurricane Hugo in September '89 and I decided to spend the night in a Marriott hotel as the place I was staying in was a small wooden townhouse near a creek:

It blew and rained a lot but its ferocity had waned by traveling overland.
The thunderstorms there were more frightening to me.

In my area of southeast Iowa we only got very heavy rain all day from hurricane Gustav, but that's all we got. It's mostly the thunderstorms we deal with, although there have been allot to tornadoes that have occurred near my city or in surrounding towns that aren't that far away at all in recent years.
Whenever there's a strong storm going on I always look at the skies to see what type of rotation they have such as a supercell thunderstorm as those typically spit out tornadoes.
I wanna hear more about Hurricane Hazelnut!

I remember Hazel. I was a member of the Civil Air Patrol at the time and we were sent to Charleston, SC to help set up radio communications. It was quite an experience for a teenager. At the time the eye had moved north a bit but the peripheral winds were still going through the area. The power was amazing.

That's probably because of this:

You don't have permission to access /forum/images/smilies/weather_rain.gif on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I'm not getting hit by the hurricane but I'm getting screwed over none the less. Gas has gone up 50 cents a gallon just today because of what "might" happen when the storm hits.
That's probably because of this:
Does that mean it is an IE7Pro with Ad Blocker turned on thing ?
I would turn it off again but I seem to not do something right to turn it back on for awhile.
All the other users of this PC cheer when that happens. They get to play at some unknown fun sites until I get it back on.

P.S. I forgot to mention SpywareBlaster also. One of my favorite little protectors and so easy to use.
I don't know as I don't use Ad blocker enabled in IE7Pro.Does that mean it is an IE7Pro with Ad Blocker turned on thing ?I would turn it off again but I seem to not do something right to turn it back on for awhile.

I much prefer to use the HOSTS file I have frequently documented about as they use less system resources that I'm sure you will appreciate.
Don't worry. Be happy.
We are all here to help you to do the right thing and that's the only sound I hear from PC users.
No that's a web server response telling people they don't have permission to use their images elsewhere - many consider it stealing their bandwidth, etc., hence such an error page. That's why many times if I post an image from elsewhere, I'll typically download it to my PC then post it on one of the free image hosting services.

That makes a lot of sense to me. Now that you explained it so well. I will file that away in the "old gray cells".
Wonder if it will stay there.
Now to get back to the real "storm tracking" news.

P.S. I have bookmarked it also, Andavari. My "gray cells can't hold all that much".
Thanks Hazel for an important and interesting site.

Indeed, that Stormpulse site Hazelnut linked to in post #1 now has a permanent home in my bookmarks.
I bookmarked that site too. Pretty neat site.
I am now watching Storm Josephine on that site (link on left hand side of page)
Lets hope it's a lot less destuctive than Ike has been.
