Irma time

I was feeling winds as early as 7pm last night. Tsing it's new target is Tampa, but it keeps shifting west and I don't see a clear turn up the coast of Florida yet. The turn they were predicting has not taken place. Tsing, Hopefully for us it keeps that trajectory. I'm praying for you Tsing. I think we will be ok. Good luck bud.

Let us hope then that it starts to act like France would, and quickly retreats.

Thanks, ElC. We're pretty much in the line now. House is all boarded up, everything is stocked. At this point we're pretty much assured a Cat 3, but I've got a new house all up to specs. We'll be losing power in the next 12 hours.

Talk to you after.

 

Beach in Bahamas not a beach anymore. Water gone. Irma doing some strange stuff.

 

That's really strange. Maybe the water will return eventually?

 

Just as a FWIW, when we built our new house in MO (tornados and occasional ice storm) I installed a Generac 20KW. It runs off a 1000 gal propane tank. Cost about $4,000. Was pretty easy to install, but I'm an electrical engr so that helped. Runs most of the house. Starts automatically 20sec after power loss and turns back off when power returns. Not meant for continuous duty, but should work fine for a week or so at a time. Only lost power a couple times here, but it fired up and ran perfectly. It does a 5 min crank up test every week.

Stay safe and good luck.

 

Buckle up and stay safe. Hope this mofo doesn't show up on your street.

 

They're already arresting looters one county over. I guess it's a good thing I have my Sig P226 on my hip.
