They are now talking about taking the remaining building down very, very carefully, but quite expeditiously. At minimum, depending on track Elsa takes, we are going to get tropical storm conditions. Wind and rain and that building's instability do not make for a good scenario.

What's really worrisome is all the activity following Elsa, especially the 1 right behind her.

The predictions range from 13 to 20 named storms this year. We're already on number five, and it is early in the season.

The best place to follow what's going on as far as hurricane activity is National Hurricane Center . It's interactive, just touch or click on the storm you are interested in and it takes you to the specific page for that storm and then you can get all kinds of info on it, including the predicted track. NOAA uses a very accurate prediction model. There is also a page for the Pacific side.
 
My favorite thing about the Sims is not playing with the Sims families but actually building houses. I find it a very creative activity and have a ton of fun with it. So after building my family's house I built two other houses. This one here is supposed to be a house on a lake. You can't actually build a house on a lake but you can build a pool around a house which kinda makes it look like the house is in the middle of a lake. Come to think of it if I remove the path between the house and the street the Sims will be isolated in their home and may die :laugh: Hmm I'm having ideas for future houses and I may even build Alcatraz next!

Anyway this house has a cool feature I built which is an underwater basement, the basement walls are glass so you can see underwater from the basement. You can't build glass walls in the Sims but you can build windows that occupy the whole wall which kinda looks like a glass wall.

This one here is a modernistic house, totally not my style but it was so much fun to build. The walls look like glass walls so it almost looks like a glass house.

The bedroom on the 1st floor is on an open floor, kinda like a loft, I love how it looks

Meanwhile, my Sims character is pregnant after woohooing in the bushes outside, so she wakes up every morning and runs to throw up in the garden. This is the part of the game I really don't like, because it looks too much like real life. The characters spend a good deal of time doing mundane stuff like cooking, eating, cleaning, using the bathrom and taking showers. It gets boring really fast. Anyway I'm looking forward to delivering this baby, other players say the husband can get really stressed out when the woman is in labor and he'll start running around the house screaming, that will be fun to watch :roflmao:

They have stopped work at the collapsed building because they have decided to take down the part still standing. Work is supposed to start tomorrow.

I just read about that. Tough decision, but if it falls on its own, it could fall in any direction. The plan is a controlled detonation to bing it straight down in its own footprint. Fingers crossed.

Are you getting your home ready for Elsa?
