Thanks for the prayers guys. Hasnt been much worse than a good Autumn rainstorm in NM. Hoping we've seen the worst. I was worried. I hate not having control.

I should know better than to watch the news when there is a storm. Its just like looking on webmd when you have a headache.

Jim Cantore from the weather channel is on the beach Mexico city Panhandle in the brunt of the incoming storm. So my bud is here and I said he better put on a frigging helmet.
Honest to God as soon as I say that a frigging two X 4 whips through the air slap fast into his cranium. Knocked him about 20 feet. He put on a helmet.

Just wondering 4th if you're one of the 375,00 people ordered to evacuate?
stay safe Sir in Astor on the water. Do you have the storm shutters up and the generac gashed up already? Stay safe down there.

Wow, this thing is still carrying 150 mph winds as it heads toward south Georgia with an eyewall intact.

Konstantin · 10-10-2018, 04:02 PM

Damn, I'm sure glad I was worried about nothing.

Stalky · 10-10-2018, 04:05 PM

This thing just got ranked in the top three hurricanes.

You were right to be worried about it. Lucky you didn't get caught up in it.

And I thank the good Lord for that. I pray that no lives were lost.

Hey Shooter 14, are you getting flooded up your way?

Negative.
We've had drizzles on & off with light wind. An occasional series of gusts to 25+.

About 15 minutes ago we lost power but here in Hamilton Co., the power isn't as reliable as we'd like.

If an armadillo farts the power drops off.
Right now we're running on back up power until further notice.

Ever since the storms we had back in 2004, I DO NOT take these hurricanes lightly.

During Francis, I recall the wind blowing & blowing & blowing, harder & harder then, the house creaking in which the wife & I got very religious for a few hours.

Not having power for 2 weeks from Francis then no power for 3 weeks from Jeanne, I stay prepared.

Lost all of my stockade fence, and some siding both times. The only good thing was business was booming for the following 18 months.
It was part of the reason why I was able to retire at 58.

I'm glad you guys were not in it's path. That was and still is a bad one. Who's missing from NW FL? CDawg? I know there are a couple more I forget their names.

If it's your homemade firewater I'll take one.

I know the weather interferes with everything.
Curious cause I like the man.
