Her She Comes
09/05/17 at 16:28:48

Looks like I'm in the path of Irma the newest cat 5 hurricane that's rolling across the Atlantic with Florida in it's cross hairs. Spent the last few days getting supplies, gas, water and firing up the generator and chain saw. Going to board up all the exposed windows with plywood over the next couple days and need to be done by Friday.
I think I'm fu*ked, there is nowhere to run so I'm digging in and plan to put up a good fight like fighting with a hurricane is a sane idea. If the house gets hit hard I'm hoping that my travel trailer survives so I have a roof.
The wife is freaking out already but at least we aren't in a flood zone, I really feel sorry for the people in Houston and I see their fate in my future.
Wish me luck the battle starts this weekend Angry

Re: Her She Comes Reply #5 - 09/05/17 at 21:24:45 Ed, dude, nobody has a crystal ball, but it's Seriously not looking good. I was really hoping to see you declare that you were hauling butt. If you can't, you can't, and I will certainly be keeping you and yours on my mind. Keep us updated as long as the connection holds.

It's gonna be rough if the forecast holds true. Tie that trailer down well or it might blow over/away. Good luck, Ed.

Things you can repair, and reacquire, life, not so much. Think of you your wife Ed, if it gets to be too much of a risk.

Steve already mentioned tie downs for the travel trailer and I would like to say it again because those things are light and blow over easily.

I talked to a guy I know in Texas and his house weathered the storm well enough except for an awning that came loose and got flung around and did some damage along with some outdoor furniture that hit the house.

I'm also the sort of guy who would stick it out so good luck and keep us informed when you can.

PBR is my favorite beer , I always try to keep a hundred in the fridge . Lot fee is totally reasonable. So someday I will be in your neck of the woods and we can have a few beers. He who drinks the fastest gets the mostest !

BTW, when I did drink, and I could find it, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Pabst Bock, was a great buzz.... Had to be butt arse cold tho, no warm beer for me!

Hold on tight - we will be praying for you!

Sometimes I wonder why I live in northern KY. There isn't any ocean, the mountains are not more than 300' tall, the rivers and lakes are variable shades of brown.

But.....we don't have hurricanes and wind speeds are generally pretty low. Rainfall is not too hard most days. Snowfall is measured in single digits most of the time. We generally have a week or two of winter temps in single digits - but never any really long cold spells. July can get up into the 90's for an extended period - and it gets really humid. Housing and food are affordable - most folks feel safe walking down the street and don't expect to get robbed.
