Well…guess that’s all over. Really we didn’t have much of a storm. From about 10-12, there were some decent gusts and sheets of rain, but after that it barely reared it’s head again. We had a 90 minute power outage which is incredibly short for around here (we go 24 hours with just a decent [...]
iPhone update as power is now out. Winds not much worse but enough to keep power crews indoors for now. Will start generator in an hour or so for refridge and maybe get one computer back online.
Just had our first power spike. Came back quickly but I suspect some grids are down nearby. Winds and Rain are now steady, but occasionally ’sheeting’ and gusting quite a bit stronger. Waves have not crashed over the seawall just yet, but heavy rain amounts means most of the area down there is underwater (including [...]

Filled trash can, buckets and bathtub with water for toilets (joy of a well pump w/ no power) Filled generator with gas Bought more gas Bought milk, bread, water, soda, [...]

These wind speed projections show it’s going to basically suck in a few days over the house. We’ve had four power outages this year > 6 hours and I’m fed up (one was 36 hours). I suspect this weekend is going to mega-suck which means it is time for a generator. Now I just have [...]
It’s going to be a crazy week for Hurricane hunters. While Gustav is turning into rain clouds, Hanna is spinning around and will be quickly followed by Hurricane Ike and then what is currently known as Tropical Depression 10. We could see some machine gun hurricanes striking the US over the next few weeks. It's [...]
