Hurricane Charley did a number to this state. A LOT of things happened. Frist of all, I'd like to say that I and my family, house and car(s) are all fine. However, the whole state is at disarray. This place looks like a warzone. I got power back on Sunday and got Internet back Tuesday. 124mph winds were recordered here in Orlando. This place isn't in bad shape compared to Punta Gorda in southwest Florida, 99% of all buildings were heavily damaged. A lot of people there have no homes and are relying on Red Cross, Fema, and National Guard for all the neccessities and security. 145mph winds were recorded in that area. About 500,000 people in all of Central Florida are without power and about 30% of them won't have any for about a few weeks, maybe months, but the majority will get it back in less than 2 weeks realistically. lots of trees were knocked down, old and big ones mainly. Our old oak tree next to our house barely missed us. 19 people have died because of the Hurricane. oh and my game collection did get destroyed. So I'll need about $5,000 to rebuild it all back to normal. Please PM me for info.
I am glad to hear you are ok. Too bad about your collection, but I think the most important thing is that you and your family all ok. I have a lot family members that live in Florida, Key West, and they are all fine as well. From what I understand, Key West didn't take much damage as usual. I know how bad hurricanes can be; I was still living in Florida when Andrew came around.
Really good news that you and your loved ones all came out unscathed. :smt023 :-D It's a bit sad to hear your game collection is out, but in the end, it is just stuff, which can be replaced, and far better it be gone than you or one of your family members. Maybe we could take up a "Help Madhatter rebuild his collection!" fund?
It's good to hear that you and your falimiy are alright. I assume insureance doesn't cover your game collection. :smt009
with a bit of luck , maybe ill receive a neo-geo from the air. :smt043 only a joke , comrade , im glad to hear that your house and your familly wasn't touched . :smt023 (wtf happen to the smilleys ?? i want the old ones too! )
errr... that's me who just got back from Japan. Anyhow, very sorry to hear about your collection :smt009 If you ever want me to help you in finding something, let me know.
It's good news to see that you're ok but how did your games collection get destroyed if your house and cars were fine? You didn't keep them in a shed did you? Yakumo
NOOOOOOO DAMN YOU CHARLIE! DAMN YOU TO HELL! That sucks man. Seriously, that's relly screwed up. I's like to donate an SNES to you, if you want. Hope you don't mind paying shipping (should only be about 10$ to Flordia.) It works, and I'll give you three games with it, two cheesy sports games and SMB world. I've also got an extra Genesis if you want it, so PM me if you're interested.
talk about this , that's cool from your part! i would love to to donate something too , but i don't have anything in double and my collection is really little.... :smt030 well, compared to somes collections i see here... rayer:
ok ok. The truth comes out, my collection didnt' get "destroyed". I lyed. It was a joke. Hawanja, I'm thankful that you said such a thing but of course, I dont need an SNES as I just bought one, an SNES Model 2. So you can keep it. Assembler's post should've given you the hint and it was his idea to say that.
Oh, I didn't see the "psyche!" part before. Oh well... I guess I'll just Ebay it, unless somebody wants it?
