everyone stay safe. After this one I hope that hurricane season takes a decade off or longer. Gulf is churning way too many monsters out.
Amen brother I'm praying with you on that and forever will work too. 😎
been doing this the last 20 years and they’re only getting worse.
a couple pictures of downed pines in my yard, these are 80-100 ft trees, did not belong ti me. i can thank the corp of engineers for their gift, lol
Got people in Bradenton and Lakeland. Bradenton evac mandatory lives right on the water told him if he stays no help would be coming….Lakeland staying put works for the city.
Glad to hear you are OK with minimal damage to your home! We were without power at the house for 8 days and got extremely lucky that no damage was done to our home. Lots of limbs down and 1 medium size tree that took down the power line to a light pole. Other than that, not much else to report, but yes, the area around us got smacked pretty hard and others did not fare nearly as well as we did. Our power company is still reporting around 20-25% of their customers do not have power as of this morning. Thankfully, I do a little prepping for stuff like this so I had a dual fuel generator and several tanks of propane ready to go as soon as we lost power. Good thing too, because as you know if was almost impossible to find any gas anywhere near our area. Hope everyone else is ok! My aunt's house is just north of Tampa and she has refused to evacuate in the face of Milton bearing down on the area. All I can do is pray for her and all others in it's path.
Glad to hear, somehow they got power to the 1 gas station in Modoc on monday the 30th. Local deputies were controlling the lines to get gas and cars were backed up for 1/2 mile down to the Modoc boat ramp. they had 1 man just loading ice and Reed Ice was making 2 deliveries per day. Luckily i did not need gas.
I had to go into Evans to see Doctor yesterday, talked to a man that lived around Lake Olmstead said his house was destroyed, as well as many others in area.
Great that you had little damage as well as I. I only have the trees to clean up eventually.
Just noticed the 1st pick is not a pine, lol
Can't get political, but I don't see your hope happening. Those guys with glasses and white lab coats are predicting the opposite. They can be wrong though.
Gainesville FL area: 9:55 AM. No rain at all right now - it has stopped and has really only been light so far. No wind at all. None of that has reached us yet.
The tracker says heavy rains in Tampa and gusts up to about 28 mph predicted. Not sure how accurate that is but that's what it says.
On Thursday afternoon before ours hit I believe it predicted winds of 35-40 for our area, actually normal for a lot of situations in our area. I went to bed about 1130 never imagining to what I woke up to.
stay safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard that wind gusts reached 100+mph at the Augusta airport. Thats crazy considering how far we are from the coast that the hurricane came through. Roughly 5 hours south of here
Gainesville, FL area: 12:30 PM. Been raining steady now for about 45'. Not heavy rains, but steady. No wind to speak of - yet.
Tampa - according to my tracker, steady, heavy rains in Tampa. Winds around 17 mph with gusts up to 25-30 mph.
We are in Indian Harbour Beach, barrier Island next to Melbourne. Our town of 9900 is hunkered down pretty well as of1:30 on Wednesday afternoon. I noticed the weather channel guy has moved from Cocoa Beach up to Daytona. Taking that as good news. Ours will be a wind event as far as real danger is concerned. We are expecting to lise power and internet by mid day tomorrow and Pubkix is planning on reopening tomorrow afternoon around 3v00pm. We appreciate everyone's well wishes and send the same to all in the cone of uncertainty.
🤞Cone of uncertainty, indeed. Well named.
