He spins for his friends.

Anybody here on the Atlantic Coast going to actually evacuate for these Hurricans if or when they strike?

I live right next to the coast so my family might.

Just don't know how bad they are right now..

I can imagine someone saying "Ike's so powerful, they named a fu***** Hurricane after him."

IDK, there are mixed reports about whether it will hit the coast or not, but if Ike hits then the one behind it is likely to hit as well. I don't live by the coast, but I have some friends near Galveston that are paying close attention to this.

Hurricane Gustav ****ed up my hometown pretty badly. I am still not allowed to enter the state, yet. The prediction as of last night is that it's going straight for the gulf. If it comes near again, I'm leaving again. Oddly enough my cat is named Ike, and he's a badass.

If I wouldda made the thread, I wouldda called it, "WE LIKE IKE!"
Cause seriously, last time Miami was hit with a hurricane hard was before I was even born.
Ike is gonna let me skip a couple of days of school and get a bit of work done.
I don't know its direct path, but at least maybe Hanna will hit us.
Also, dr.mario guy, many of my friends who play Brawl have said that when we first heard it in the morning. :p
Gustav did seem pretty bad though... That's why I like Tropical storms more, as long as they're somewhat quick.

At least if Ike is going to hit hit, you'll see it coming way ahead of time

seriously though, I hope everyone uses their heads with these storms. you can't be too careful when it comes to something like this. Hopefully everyone will be alright

I'm waiting for Hannah to pay me a visit and close public education for a while.

None of your business
I just want those MREs they hand out after hurricanes, mmm!

I see also that there is a tropical storm Josephine, obviously part of an Amish plot to destroy the US, but how would they get a tropical storm to form on their own.

I actually thought of this today in Geography class.

Hurricane Ike: You'll get no sympathy from me!

I need to turn that into a picture...

This is the second year in a row a Smash character's name has made it into the storm name list. Zelda was in it last year but there's very rarely enough storms to get to the end of the list.

*Insert all the transformation into Shiek jokes here (since this was pre-Brawl)*

If Ike is destructive, I will feel so bad because I laugh at the mention of "Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ike".


Now, every Ike combo video will have the song "Rock you like a hurricane" playing in the background, right?

Phew. Ike jumped from tropical storm to category four pretty darn quick. Maybe Tennessee can get a little more rain, as long as it isn't a fully-charged F-Smash kind of rain. (Okay, these Ike jokes are starting to hurt my brain...)

It'll be even worse if Ike skirts around Cuba and the larger islands. If that happens, it'll be Category 5 in no time.

I'm so screwed. Ike is charging up his FSmash toward Florida and I'll probably be pwned. Such a fitting name for such a storm....

We need to host a tournament or something when this bad boy hits Florida!

Anyway, when Fay hit, we had some unlucky damage with a transformer that stood in my backyard. The top started on fire from either lightening or something hitting the top. Pole caught on fire, we were evacuated until, like, 9:00am for repairs and such because they thought the pole would fall on our house or something. Here's hoping Ike doesn't pull off anything worse than that.

New rule for tournies:

Whenever somebody plays Ike 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' must be played.

It's going to be epic. I hope it almost hits us (Florida) that way we can get some decent waves like we did with Gustav. If not, prepare your selfs, lol.

We can get waves with a good category 1-2 hurricane. A category 4-5 just screams that we'll get no sympathy from him.

Yeah, I am without power for the next month. It's really hard to find humor in Hurricane jokes when I am struggling just to not pass out from heat while I sleep, while people cannot even see their houses.

Things like these two posts prove how ironic hurricanes are- needed by many, hated by many...

As for Ike, I'm shocked it isn't a Category Five yet when I last looked (An hour ago, give your take)... But maybe it's a good thing.

..when I heard of Ike, I immediatly thought of Ike from Fire Emblem

...when I heard of Hanna, I immediatly thought of Hanna from Hanna Montana.

..and now Josephine, well I don't know anybody's name with Josephine so it's tough to compare to.

thankfully, Gustav never came to Houston, (not even rain) just a cloudy skies was all.
