I'm at the top east corner of the gulf. Thinking I should go and fill everything up today and drag the generators out of the shed for a test run.
It's storms such as this which keep me living in the prairies. Even the strongest thunderstorms do not see anywhere close to hurricane force winds for any length of time. It's also rare to receive more than 3-4 inches of rain during strong thunderstorms. Hoping Irma chooses a path away from the east coast.
Well, I used to know a chick named Irma; she was a librarian, kind of bookish and quiet, but pour a couple of drinks into her, well, what do you think of when you hear "wildcat"?... Anyway, it looks like your hurricane is headed for our nickel plant in Cuba. I imagine there's going to be another maintenance slowdown as a result. Here's hoping it peters out before it hits land...
I will take a tornado any day....it rips your roof off(if you are lucky)....rains on your ceilings and they fall a little while later and ruin your floors and furniture.But they do not leave your house in 8ft of water for a week or more. I took a direct hit from a EF3 tornado a year ago and just last week finished all the work. Contractors here have been booked for a year from all the repair work. Hang in there JR.....i'd come down there and help you if i could my friend. Peace WildBill
