PAR Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Anyone other than me, thinking we're going to get a good spanking? Current models have the eye coming over my place and my property is completely covered in trees. I've known I need to clean out a few, but now mother nature is going to force the issue. I just hope to have enough gas to survive the power outages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 We're praying for y'all down there. Miss Irma is even coming up our way, but we only expect rain, some wind, a few trees down, and minor power loss. Are the boats under safe cover?

Hirilonde Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 My daughter and family in Brunswick GA have evacuated to Alabama (closest pet friendly place they could find). They are saying it will stay a hurricane for a while as it moves inland and envelope much of GA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yeah, they're expecting it still to be a Cat. 1 as it crosses the Georgia/Florida line. I'm expecting a Cat. 2, maybe a low Cat. 3 when it gets here. I just fired up the generator and fueled her up. The pigtail is ready, chainsaw waiting, along with the other usual tools, like fence repair stuff, tarps, etc. I don't suspect Georgia and north Florida to get too battered, just some rain, with winds typical of a summer thunderstorm. I haven't seen an "eye" in a long time, something to look forward too, as it'll pass right over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Waiting on the next NOAA update, but SCA's are up with occasional gusts to about 35 according to the little weather station on my chimney. I expect Hurricane strength winds in another 5 hours at current pressure drops and storm over ground speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 My best wishes to you all. Our family in Texas lost their homes to flood water. Peace, Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Lost power, cable and interweb, around 8:30 Sunday, still out. Some downed trees, fences, etc., but we're okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
