REMOVE THE COCONUTS!!......

#1 Postby dixiebreeze » Thu Sep 02, 2004 12:39 pm

From the Miami latest update:

...WIND IMPACTS...
WINDS WILL BEGIN INCREASING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY ON FRIDAY WITH TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS ARRIVING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HURRICANE
FORCE WINDS WOULD AFFECT THE PALM BEACH AND NORTHEAST BROWARD METRO AREAS
BEGINNING AROUND MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT AND LASTING INTO SATURDAY. ACROSS SOUTH
BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WOULD ARRIVE LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON LASTING INTO SATURDAY. THIS WOULD BE A VERY LONG TIME FOR SUCH STRONG
WINDS...WHICH MEANS A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE...INCLUDING
DESTRUCTION OF MOBILE HOMES AND EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO WEAKER STRUCTURES LIKE
GAS STATION ROOFS. BE SURE TO STORE ALL LAWN FURNITURE AND SECURE SWING SETS AND
LOOSE YARD ITEMS. REMOVE COCONUTS FROM PALM TREES BECAUSE THEY CAN BECOME DEADLY
MISSILES IN HURRICANE FORCE WINDS. THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EXACT
FORECAST TRACK OF FRANCES...AND SHOULD THE TRACK BE SHIFTED...THE WIND IMPACT
WOULD CHANGE GREATLY.

Makes sense to me. 8-) :)

When I come back to my place, if I find one campaign sign in there, or my parents' house... well... somebody's not getting my vote. Pick up your crap!

Coconuts can also be used as missiles to hurl at looters after the storm has passed.
