Yeah George, it was a little close last week, but I must say I'm glad it's gonna be closer to you than me. posted_image

BTW, didn't you work for Mobile One in the late 80's?

I must admit I have never experienced a Hurricane but I'm sure it's something like a blizzard with 80 mph winds and temperatures exceeding -40 F !! I'd take the winter blizzard over the wet hurricane posted_image .

BTW: Where we are located, we don't have earthquakes either posted_image

Looks like we made out ok over on this end of the state. Our friends on the other side didn't fair to well..

My overhead didn't showup so we went home before it got bad.. Doing it right now as a matter of fact.. See how hard installers work!

We made out okay here as well, just a few downed trees and some street flooding. Those south of us on the lakefront had about three feet of water in their homes.

We got another one lurking to the east of us (Florida) "Kyle" they have it tracked to make a u turn and come to the east of Florida near Ft. Lauderdale. This one had been hanging out in the sea for some time now. posted_image

By next Saturday one computer says that it will be here.
