Oh Man, Not Another One
08/28/19 at 11:51:58

Getting ready for another hurricane, looks like Dorian is headed my way. I'm located somewhere in the cone of probability with touchdown being Sunday. Oh well, got the generator started up yesterday and already have plywood cut and ready to go for the windows. Still need to police the yard for potential flying objects and get some beer.
Hoping it will blow on by without hitting too hard.

I'm hoping you dodge it, but either way, it's obvious from your stated priorities in how you explained the order of how you plan on prioritizing the unfinished business that you have No IDEA about how to actually Do it.
Ya get the BEER, and THEN you police the area, While you walk around looking down and sipping on your daggum beer, dude.

I'm nervous about this one, they are calling for a Cat 3 if it doesn't slow down. Put a new roof on the house last year and have the insurance paid up. Made it through two hurricanes in 2017 but they were only Cat 1.
The weak spot is my shop and I'm going to cover all the power equipment with tarps just in case the roof leaks. Also will be moving most of my reloading gear into the main house, need to keep my powder dry. Don't think the wife would let me store the Savage in the living room for the duration Sad

.
Going to be interesting no matter where it hits. Expecting to loose power and internet by Sunday evening. Will try to update off my phone if that happens.

Here in NC I'm still rebuilding from hurricane Irene. It's depressing and I'm not into it because of the feeling that it's just going to happen again. Moto Guzzi Convert, Kaw 650, Yam SRX600 all knocked over in the garage and filled with salt water and sand. They are now paperweights. I try to prepare for it, and get beer also, but never drink a drop because of the effort to stay alive, and the paralyzing fear during one of these events. When I know a hurricane is coming, I feel like throwing up. Good luck and best wishes to anyone in it's path.

I've been through BIG earthquakes, fires, and the thing that freaks me out most is the wind....

I don't like wind.

When we first moved to the island, up here in the Pacific Northwest, which was at the end of September, that very first winter we had a storm that packed 90 MPH winds, and of course it hit at night.
Now remember I live in the woods, not a city, and its DARK at night.
You could hear, but not see, the trees and branches falling....
And that wind sounds like a freight train roaring towards you as you are standing on the tracks!!! Shocked

We left the bedroom, to go down and sleep in the basement, as we figured the trees wouldn't kill us there if the fell on the house.
It was NOT a good nights sleep, and we were without power 5 days.

But I still love it here

We actually had a heck of a storm here in Houston yesterday evening. Luckily it only lasted less than 2 hours, but man for a while I was wondering what was going on as I knew Dorian is heading your way, but did not expect it to make a detour through Houston. Be safe. You will be in my prayers.

Hotrod, you are on the coast ?
I was thinking you were inland and lived close to Toymaker.
I haven’t seen him around here for quite some time.
