Even if you don't have a credit card, paypal, or a checking account, you can get a money order at 7-11 and put it in the mail. Skip one movie, Starbucks visit, or new DVD and send in what you would have spent!

(For those still recovering from last year's storms... we really appreciate you just BEING here with us!!!)

I already made my donation this season. $25.00 isn't much but I guess I will help. I agree bvigal, it is the only rank that really counts. Please help support this great site.

I started to donate last week but saw that the monthy goals was already more than doubled by the donations, so I decided to wait until next month. Or is it like your Christmas season? (kinda like the retailers and Black Friday...you get the money during Hurricane season to keep the doors open year round)

drezee, I'm not qualified to answer that question. Maybe Marshall or Chad will pop in here and reply. I have seen months where it didn't look like the goal was being reached, probably off season. Certainly the busiest time is hurricane season, which translates to more bandwidth, thus higher costs at those times. :wink:

Yarrah
you could send a check to Marshall at the address bvigal listed above.
you would need to get an international bank check though.
otheriwse, it would take weeks for a foreign check to clear and would cost some bank charges too

I really appreciate all of the information Storm2K provides. I LOVE all the opinions and have learned so much about tropical weather. The links to other weather sites and satellite data are fabulous and you get an analysis to go along with it. I don't know of any other site that provides the depth of knowledge from such a wide variety of experts and wanna-be weather forecasters.

To all of you posters, keep up the good work! Thank you Storm2K for providing the forum and keeping it on track! We are really going to need you in the coming months!

Ok, it's not much, but I hope it helps. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have Storm2K during Hurricane season.

Thanks for all you guys do!
