Nikki Walsh, 24, and Tanner Broadwell, 26, of Colorado, paid $5,000 in April 2017 for a 28-foot 1969 Columbia sailboat they named "Lagniappe," The Tampa Bay Times reported. The couple, which previously drove for Uber but said they had little sailing experience, spent another $5,000 to fix up the vessel. Nikki Walsh, 24, and Tanner Broadwell, 26, of Colorado, paid $5,000 in April 2017 for a 28-foot 1969 Columbia sailboat they named "Lagniappe." (GoFundMe) The couple set sail recently from Tarpon Springs, Florida with only themselves and their pug dog, Remy, on board. They sailed south for about 30 miles before entering a channel of water called John's Pass, near Madeira Beach, Florida, roughly two days after setting sail. It was there they encountered trouble. "We started freaking out because waves were coming, and it was tossing our boat back and forth," Walsh told the Times. The boat struck something under the water and the couple ended up grabbing their dog and jumping overboard with only a few clothes, some important papers and food and toys for Remy. Local boat captains said sandbars often shift in the channel where the couple's boat capsized. It remains there in about 9 feet of water and the couple is seeking to raise about $10,000 to remove it and store it. The GoFundMe campaign has already raised $11,421 in just three days. "We lost every single one of our belongings with no insurance, but we all made it to land alive & we are not giving up on our dreams!" Walsh wrote.

CLASS OF 1991 Jennifer Appel BSLA ’91 is the owner of Landscape & Design, Inc., one of the top ten landscape architecture firms in Houston, according to the “Houston Business Journal.” A registered landscape architect and licensed irrigator, Appel has designed, installed and maintained a 10,500 sq. ft. green roof for the Humble Oil Marriot in Houston. The all-organic green roof utilizes two minutes of water a day supporting 13 trees, over 5,000 flowering plants and the chef’s herbs. Appel also owns Pet Friendly Fertilizer, which designs custom organic fertilizers to reduce water requirements for high profile landscapes. She is a consultant for residential and commercial applications, especially those designed to require little or no maintenance. Appel is particularly interested in native plant green roofs for storm water management. http://archcomm.arch.tamu.edu/archive/news/spring2005/classacts.html

September 12, 20187 yr damn seems like when it hits now there are highs and other shit alll around it and then it just flops right on top of Wilmington for a while, backs out, wobbles south and hits Souf Carolina. Wilmington and the Carolina border there could get 2 to 3 days of this bitch. I would get F out of there. Two time house looser here (Ike and Harvey) like most of you guys and balls to that. Even if your shit isn't F'ed up you may spend the next week eating mosquitoes off your sweaty ballsack.

September 12, 20187 yr Any updates on the development in the gulf? (i.e., is it going to be pouring rain at DKR Sat night)?
September 12, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Mapache said: Don't worry Pats got this.... Pat Robertson Establishes A 'Shield Of Protection' Against Hurricane Florence Why do they believe the media news stories about this? It's just fake news from the MSM, right? This will be about like Rush Limbaugh with Irma. He ranted on the air about the media overplaying the storm and later that day was on a private jet out of the state.
September 12, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Skipper said: Any updates on the development in the gulf? (i.e., is it going to be pouring rain at DKR Sat night)? Last i read it was downgraded to 60% and heading more toward Corpus..
September 12, 20187 yr 35 minutes ago, Skipper said: Any updates on the development in the gulf? (i.e., is it going to be pouring rain at DKR Sat night)? Satellite images and surface observations indicate that a broad area of low pressure has formed in the central Gulf of Mexico. Although the shower activity is still disorganized, upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive for development, and it is likely that a tropical depression will form on Thursday, before the system reaches the western Gulf coast. Another reconnaissance plane is scheduled to investigate the disturbance tomorrow. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected across portions of northeastern Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana late this week, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system, and refer to products from their local weather office. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
September 12, 20187 yr The forecast looks a little more promising than it did yesterday. Arriving earlier and further south. Hope that continues to trend in that direction.
September 12, 20187 yr Just read about this abandoned coast guard lighthouse about 30 miles off shore, that has been converted to an "adventure" b&b. It's called Frying Pan Tower.

A class 4 leaves very few structures if any left standing in it's storm surge zone, which if the tides right can be up to 20' . Google hurricane Hazel and Carolina beach. They did a really good video of that event recently. I caught it on facebook yesterday.

September 12, 20187 yr You think I am going to offer my life in a poorly constructed townhome in the middle of the storm surge? Fuck no.

Yeah no, Those 50 -70' towers probably mean all the glass will be gone from your Mt. Olympus if you're facing the water for sure. The you have all those stairs to go down when the power goes out for days.
September 12, 20187 yr I'd prefer to watch it on an HDTV 500 miles away with my booze, food, woman and ganja.
September 12, 20187 yr Interesting graphic from the National Weather Service. They said on their FB post any alternative meaning to the graphic was unintentional...
