Sunday September 12th 1999 10:00 PM Tonight on the news in the Miami area, the topic was HURRICANE FLOYD. Floyd is now a massive near category 5 hurricane with winds over 150 MPH It is larger than the state of Texas in size. It is about 500 miles from Miami, the city that Sollog a modern seer I write about says will be destroyed by a hurricane by the year 2001! On the news they say that hurricane Floyd is about to turn north, due to computer models. If it doesn't turn north by tomorrow morning, I will take my family north. I refuse to sit in Southern Florida with a 600 Mile wide hurricane only a few hundred miles away, waiting for it to turn because some computer program says it will!
Monday September 13th 1999 8:00 AM The news is still all about Floyd this morning, it hasn't turned. We will now evacuate our home in Southern Florida. I'll do some work this morning and then pack our van to take what we don't want to lose if Floyd hits Southern Florida. I had a condo near the ocean in the Ft. Lauderdale area when Andrew destroyed Homestead. One week after Andrew, I drove through Homestead on the way to the Keys. It looked like a nuke hit the area for miles! 10:00 AM They still are waiting for Floyd to turn, they haven't even issued a Hurricane Watch for Dade County yet! I'm on the way to the bank to take out cash for the trip! 12:00 PM I began to pack the van for the trip. With items such as photos, videos, clothes, baby bottles and other must have items for my two sons. One is barely 2 weeks old and the other is almost 18 months old. I just picked up a small TV with a VCR in it for the trip up north, it's for my 18 month old son to be entertained during this arduous evacuation. He is used to watching our big screen each morning, he picks out a video and watches it while he eats his breakfast each morning. My wife thought it was a waste of time getting the TV for the road while everyone else in our membership club was stocking up supplies for the hurricane! 4:00 PM The van is packed to the roof with clothes, baby items and some of my computer gear. Most of our stuff will be left behind to face Floyd if it doesn't turn. It's now only about 350 Miles from Miami and Dade County has finally been placed under a hurricane watch and a voluntary evacuation has been ordered! 4:30 PM We finally got on the Florida Turnpike after we gassed up the van, they are already sold out of all grades of gas except for premium. 5:30 PM We stopped just pass Palm Beach on the Turnpike to eat. So far no mass exodus is happening, when it does, this road will be a parking lot with Millions of people fleeing one of the largest storms to ever take aim at the US! 10:30 PM We just reached the Jacksonville area, there was only light traffic on the road. Tomorrow it will be a Zoo! 11:30 PM We checked into a real dump on I 95 just north of Jacksonville. We wanted to get past Georgia tonight, but we were ust too exhausted to continue on the road any further! At least tomorrow we won't hit the evacuation traffic that usually jams Jacksonville in evacuations!
Tuesday September 14th 1999 8:30 AM There was only one waitress to handle the whole restaurant we ate in this morning. All the other waitresses have already evacuated the Jacksonville area! 12:00 PM I 95 has been a parking lot for about 6 miles approaching the city of Savannah. At least my wife was able to breast feed the baby in traffic. She says the TV for the van was the best thing we ever bought. My 18 month old son has been very well behaved since he has about 50 videos with him to watch. 3:00 PM I 95 is a complete mess. For 30 miles south of the exit for Charleston in South Carolina, I 95 was a parking lot. We've been watching the local news in the van about the mess on one of the main interstates here that is the evacuation route for Charleston. Once we got pass that spot on I 95 there was no traffic! 9:00 PM I hoped to reach southern Virginia today, but with all the evacuation traffic, we are stopping in the middle of North Carolina at one of my favorite stops on I 95. Looks like my new DVD and Big Screen TV are safe in Florida, Floyd has turned and is following us up the coast. We stayed in Jacksonville and it was evacuated, now they are saying where we are in North Carolina is where Floyd is heading! I bought a bunch of junk to eat at the local gas station, since all the restaurants at this exit are already closed or evacuated.
Wednesday September 15th 1999 8:00 AM I just bought a box of La Gloria Cubana cigars for our forced vacation up north. One of the reasons we always use this stop is J&R's cigars! We decided to skip breakfast here to beat the traffic, it's already pouring down rain in this area as Floyd approaches. Looks like CAPE FEAR the city ON THE LINE from MIAMI TO PHILLY that was written about many times by Sollog the hurricane mystic, is where this storm is heading just like Brett, Fran, Felix and Dennis. Yes, CAPE FEAR has been a magnet for these massive storms since 1995 when Sollog GUARANTEED CAPE FEAR would be pounded over and over until THE BIG ONE DESTROYS MIAMI! 11:00 AM It's been raining non stop all morning, Floyd will be hitting the whole North East coast with tons of rain the next two days, unless it turns out to sea! 4:00 PM I 95 was a parking lot again for about 10 Miles into the city of Alexandria. Next time I'm going to go west of Jacksonville if I have to evacuate Southern Florida. We just thought it was a good opportunity to see family and show them the new baby! Now it looks like our planned exodus to Philly and New York is going to be an area hit very hard by Floyd. 6:00 PM I 95 was a parking lot again, (what else is new) on the North side of Washington DC. A tractor trailer truck over turned. It was another great opportunity to breast feed the new baby says my wife. 8:00 PM We finally made it to one of our families homes which is on a mountain in a suburb of Trenton. The talk was about the homes at the foot of the mountain, which have a normally tranquil creek running by them. The homes are expected to be flooded tomorrow! 11:00 PM We decided to stay in a hotel in the Princeton area off of Route 1. It's where I 95 intersects Route 1. Tons of shopping and restaurants are in the area. I can get up to North Jersey to my office there, and I can reach friends and family all over New Jersey and the Delaware Valley from here!
Thursday September 16th 1999 10:00 AM Nothing like a breakfast meal in a REAL DINER in New Jersey! Real hash browns and bagels with my morning coffee and eggs! It's about the only thing I miss when I'm in Florida for a long time. 1l:00 AM We just had to turn around on I 95. Since the southbound lanes of I 95 near Trenton are flooded. We took Route 1 to reach one of our families homes. The creek at the bottom of the hill is now a major river! The tiny one lane private road to reach their property was almost under water. At least if the road is flooded, we will be safe at the top of the mountain. I HOPE! 3:00 PM The river below has reached epic flood size, whole trees are floating down the once tiny creek, since the torrents of water have washed away soil on the normally tranquil slopes of this forest area! 6:00 PM The raging river below has now reached a neighbor's barn that used to be over 100 feet from the tiny creek! There are actually rapids in the river now which are eating at the banks of mountain and taking huge areas of the mountain down stream! 8:00 PM The rains have finally stopped. Now the rivers will be swollen even more as the run off from this monster storm causes local creeks to crest as major waterways tonight and into tomorrow! We decide to try to take Route 1 into Princeton to get to our hotel. 9:00 PM We had no traffic and no floods until we reach out hotel at I 95 and Route 1! The northbound side of Route 1 is open, however we had to turn around to go south on Route 1 to get to our hotel! Right where out hotel is, Route 1 South is closed! The canal next to the hotel is now over it's banks. And the barrier that divides north and south on Route 1 is actually acting as a dam, the canal is so swollen that it has completely reached the top of the barrier on the south side of Route 1! We took a jug handle and tried to go south on Route 1 while all the traffic was being turned around at our hotel to go NORTH on the SOUTH BOUND LANES! After a while we made it to the actual flood area of Route 1, which is at the foot of our hotel! A restaurant is still open, while it is being slowly surrounded by floodwaters from the canal! We try to go into the hotel parking lot but have to turn around and use the exit of the hotel, since the entrance road is now about 3 feet deep in water. We had to wade through about 6 inches of water that has crept into the road that services both the entrance and exit road into and out of the hotel. The exit road is on the high side of the road and isn't flooded. The entrance road is not of use to anything but a 4 wheel drive vehicle! Our room faces the canal. I put the babies in the room with my wife who comments on how great the room is set up for our VISIT! The parking lot beneath our room towards the canal is about 80 feet wide. Already the canal has flooded the lower levels of the parking lot. I'll keep an eye on it in case this canal keeps growing. 9:15 PM I go to the office to get some vending items for my wife and I. I notice the canal is now a couple of feet pass where I thought it had been when we got back to the room. I put a cup filled with water at the end of the water in the parking lot from the canal and I go to the office to tell them of this problem! The young female clerk who is distraught over the fact she can't go south on Route 1 to get to her home in Trenton says to wait until her boss gets back from looking over the property. He came in after a few minutes and I asked him to take a look at the canal flooding near our room, since I had placed a cup where the high water was a few minutes earlier as a marker to see how fast the canal was advancing. 9:30 PM The night manager sees that the cup I placed at the end of the water is now about 2 feet inside the end of the canal's flood waters. Since we got into the room, the area where the entrance and exit roads come into the property of the hotel, are now about 2 feet deep in water and not easily passable with my van. It was only about 6 inches a half of an hour ago. The night manager gives me the keys to a room on the other side of the building, which is much higher than my current room near the canal. I start to move our things to the new room. 10:00 PM The canal has completely covered the turnaround area of the parking lot. It has also made great advances toward our new room. The entrance/exit is now 3 feet under water and a 4 wheel drive vehicle is stuck in it! I go to the manager to ask for a second floor room, since it looks like the bottom floors will soon be under water, I start to think that we might be staying in an ancient flood plane, where the waters from historical storms like Floyd might migrate from the mountains of North Jersey, which lie just north of us! The local fire captain is in the lobby area, and he asks me if I am the manager, (since I seem to be the only one telling people what to do), I point out the young night manager to him, and he states that he will be bringing people to the hotel that have had their houses near us completely flooded. I tell him that his plan on bringing more people to this hotel is a very bad idea, and I further explain that I wanted to be evacuated from the property and couldn't even leave now since the entrance road was totally under deep flood water. He told me there was a state of emergency in Trenton and Mercer County. To try to get a 2nd floor room and sit tight. He also said that anyone on the road in a state of emergency was subject to having their vehicle taken away since emergency vehicles had to have open roads to help everyone. I go back to the room and explain to my wife we have to move everything again to the 2nd floor. She is very, very upset and calls her parents. 11:00 PM The help from the restaurant is starting to leave the flooded building at the worst area being hit by the over run canal near Route 1. It's a new restaurant, a chain of about 100. They've been open for a couple of weeks, and many of the employees came in to help open the restaurant from other areas of the country. 11:30 PM I start loading some of my files to a few different servers, in the event that I get evacuated out of here on a boat and have to leave behind my computer gear! In all I have to transfer about 300 MB of files to make sure my records aren't lost due to Floyd. I start to worry that the hotel might lose it's power and phones soon, since the flood waters are advancing rapidly. Once the flood waters hit the bottom rooms, the power in the hotel will be shorted out! Friday September 17th 12:30 AM My wife is hysterical, and I start to survey the whole area of the hotel to look for a possible backdoor to this mess. My new van is about a week old, I paid for it with cash, and although it is insured I don't feel like dealing with a Florida Insurance company over how my van got flooded in a historical flood in New Jersey because I evacuated Florida! Finally, I see a possible way out, if I go through some flooding in the rear of the hotel's property, I can reach the top parking lot on the property, which backs up to an area with a few curbs just below the beginning of an area on Route 1 that is much higher than the flooded area where most of the hotel is located. If I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle we would be gone. I would take the family and sleep over night in the parking lot of the Mall down the road, it is the high ground in this area. I go back to my wife and tell her to start packing up everything, because I think we might be able to get the van to the high ground of the exit road. She's worried about the state of emergency declaration and getting arrested if we leave the property. I explain that we are in an area that has to be evacuated sooner or later. The water is just swallowing up the grounds of the hotel. I tell her I'm going to scout the area I have to drive the van through to see if the water is still under my knees, and if it is then I'm going to take the van into it unloaded by myself. If I can jump all the curbs in that deep of water, then the van will be on high ground and I can carry our things and the kids to the van. 1:00 AM While scouting the exit area, I see 2 cars try to park right where I have to go through if I try to evacuate with the van. I yell at the people to move their cars, since they blocked the only way out. I tell them to move the cars to the parking lot about 50 feet down the road. They do. A car tries to do the reverse of what I plan to be doing shortly. A group of 4 men try to jump the curbs and go through the least flooded part of the road to get into or out of the hotel. They get stuck in the mud between the curbs. The other 3 passengers get out and start to push the car through the mud into the flooded road on the other side of the curbs. They make it over the curbs and then they wade through knee deep waters to get to the parking lot on the other side. 1:30 AM I get back to the room and explain to my wife that a car just came into the property the way I was thinking of using to exit. I explain I was going to hire the guys that just came in, to push our van if we got stuck to the high ground. She says to try it, since the canal is now up to the end of the parking lot where we were originally and the waters have advanced to where our van is now parked! I find the room of the men that just came in and the door is open, they are partying on a bottle of Jack Daniels. I explain I can pay them if I get stuck and will they push if I stall out in the knee high waters. They say sure give it a try. I drive the van through the rear of the property into knee high water, I take it slow and to my surprise it drives perfectly in the water, I reach the exit area and drive to the curb. I slow down a little before I hit the curb and then just before impact with the curb I speed up to get some momentum so I don't get caught in the mud where the other car had earlier. I make the first curb and hear the bottom of the van hit the curb from the jumping of it! I gun the gas pedal and the rear tires jump the curb and then my front tires jump the second curb, I hear another bang on the bottom of the van, and I hope I haven't lost the transmission over this. SUCCESS! The rear wheels hit the mud and grip like a tractor and I actually feel the van picking up speed as the rear wheels climb the second curb! As the rear wheels hit the dry side of the exit road, I have to apply the breaks to gain control of the van. I MADE IT! Now we just have to wade through the water and get my family and possessions into the van and head North on the now closed section of Route 1 to the high area of the mall down the road! In my jubilation I run through the knee high water to land locked area where our room is, a woman with a four wheel drive who watched me succeed in escaping the trapped parking lot, is asking me questions about if I think her SUV will make it. I said, "Give me the keys and get in the passenger seat." I also asked if it was okay to smoke my Monte Cristo Number 2 in her car with the windows down, since I was chewing and smoking one for the past hour! She said "Fine with me, just rescue my car!" I inch her SUV down the flooded lot and jump the curbs no problem, even though it was a stick and I hadn't driven one in a while! In just a couple of minutes, I had gotten 2 vehicles to safety and when I got out of the car a small group of people watching on the other side of the flooding where the hotel was, applauded my actions. I waded again through the dirty flood waters to the other side, and asked a couple of the younger men who were ready to push if the van got stuck, if they smoked cigars. I told them I had a new box of La Gloria Cigars for them if they would wade through the water with our things so I could get my family out! They said no problem. We went to the second floor of the hotel and I explained to my wife that we had the van across the flooded area and had help now to get out duffle bags of clothes, baby gear and computer items to the dry area before we tried to exit to the mall area. I took out a couple more of my Monte Cristo's to give the young fellows who decided it was worth it to wade through a flood for a box of La Gloria cigars! One chap had to carry a duffle bag with my scholarly books in it. My dictionaries for English, Latin, Hebrew and Greek filled that bag and it must have weighed 150 LBS! It took a few trips, but all in all, we got out things to the dry side. 2:30 PM The van was loaded and the young fellows were in their room and had their agreed upon payment, the box of La Gloria I had just purchased the day before in North Carolina! My wife called her family and explained we would be staying in the parking lot of the mall down the road, since Route 1 South was closed and Route 1 North was also closed! We were trapped in New Jersey in a flood zone! Since my wife had had major surgery only 3 weeks ago, I told her that she would carry the babies with me to the end of the flood area we had to cross to reach the van. Then I would carry the babies through the water to the where the van was, and I would come back to carry her piggy back once they babies were safely in the van. I didn't want to risk her getting an infection from the dirty canal water which was already showing signs that sewage was mixing into the rain water! The water had quickly risen from being knee deep when I drove our van through it, to being near my waist by the time I had finally crossed my family to the dry area! 3:00 PM We finally reach the mall down the road and we park in the lot where several other stranded vehicles sought safety that night! I changed into some fresh clothes and tried to sleep a few hours before the mall opened! We only had to move the van once during the night, since we parked under a tree and the fierce winds knocked a few small branches onto the top of the van! 8:00 AM What a beautiful sunny day. I can't wait to brush my teeth in the mall and eat breakfast in one of it's restaurants! 9:00 AM The local radio news channel is talking all about the LAWRENCEVILLE FLOOD and how Route 1 is closed and all the roads are a mess! 10:00 AM The mall is OPEN! We put the babies into their double stroller and enter the mall. We can't wait to use a bathroom and eat! OH NO! When will this nightmare end! Elizabeth Township has ordered all restaurants CLOSED due to contamination of their water supply from raw sewage! We try to use a bathroom in JC Penney and are told we CAN'T! Since, the contamination order applies to bathrooms as well! Because, you can easily get sick from just washing your hands or brushing your teeth with the contaminated water! We finally find a bathroom in Macy's that is open, we just plan on not washing our hands, and using baby wipes after we use their facilities! We buy a couple of cold weather outfits in Macy's, since our cold weather outfits were all in storage in Florida. We then decide to travel North on Route 1 until we can reach some back roads to get to the New Jersey Turnpike! 1:00 PM We finally reach the New Jersey Turnpike. After 5 days of being on THE ROAD and dealing with things like evacuation traffic and a suffering through an unforgettable night of floods, we are finally back on the road and headed South back to Florida and the land of sunshine and of course Hurricane Alley! All in all, other than having a wild experience to tell our children and grand children about in the future, we are safe and lost nothing to the monster named Floyd! I'm sure many will suffer far more severe loses from Floyd than I have. And now, when I read about victims of floods or quakes, I can sympathize with the victims a little better, since I got stuck in the historic flood of Lawrenceville New Jersey...
Oh, if you haven't heard of SOLLOG yet, the mystic I referred to a few times above who guarantees things like Hurricanes and Quakes read on!. One of the biggest UNDER GROUND NEWS on the NET is indeed the amazing story of SOLLOG. He sued the US government in 1996 over the use of NUKE TECHNOLOGY! He said he was putting information about the future in his case to PROVE what he says about NUKES and NUKE TERRORISM is real! Events such as the school shootings in the US, TWA 800 and even Diana's death were all placed in his case in 1996! Below is his site and some of our articles on this AMAZING STORY! Sollog aka THE NEW NOSTRADAMUS web site JFK Jr's death predicted by Sollog Mike Kennedy's death predicted by Sollog Diana's Death predicted by Sollog OK City Bombing warned of by Sollog JP Essene Editor Thee Under Ground LOTR E Mail J.P. Essene
In 1997 the mystic named Sollog wrote the 902 Prophecy. The 902 Prophecy was posted to various Usenet groups and has been mentioned 1,000's of times since many future events have recently connected to it. An event predicted in the 902 Prophecy was Swissair 111. Sollog who claims the ability to predict plane crashes, such as TWA 800 actually put the date, fight number, departing city and even the death count of flight 111 in that Prophecy. The Cinton scandal was in the prophecy as well. He also predicted the dates of 4 major acts of terrorism including the Ireland August 13th bombing and the US Embassy bombings They all occurred on dates given in the 902 Prophecy. Sollog says his gift of fore telling the future so accurately is due to his warning about Nukes. He says mankind is on the threshold of Nuke Terrorism. If you would like to spread Sollog's WARNING about NUKES, by donating monies to fund a large mainstream media purchase email me. These are some of Famous Prophetic hits of the Prophet Sollog If you want to read more about Sollog, these are the best sources. CHAT here about Sollog
