Hurricane Mathew

[RowdyW]

The only one I know to visit is my sister but she is 1/4 mile from the ocean. I'm a half mile from the ocean. Maybe I could go visit Sid but it looks like he is going to get hit harder then me. Houses down here aren't built out of wood. They use concrete block or solid concrete walls.

I am at 4100' come up and visit.

I'm as ready as the shop fridge will allow, tho I'd like another handle of Bloody mix. I'd have to put it in the garage beer fridge tho. Ya'll be safe.

[RowdyW]

Your turn will come this weekend. 

[thorhammer]

We are crossing fingers ....made through a half dozen when I lived at the beach, and a few  nasty ones inland. Good luck to you guys in the Carribean / Gulf region. Looks like several of my beach peeps are coming here for the weekend...and I'll need to restock......

Be safe down there. In 89 I drove home from Florida when Hugo hit, 95 was looked like a war zone, signs were flipped the opposite way on both sides of the highway. I never thought I would make it back, something I will never forget.

Hope you got some grub on the other side of that fridge. Some Mustard and Modelo ain't gonna cut it.

Thanks Daron. Rudy, you're welcome to come over! Bring food, we're a bit low.... I got the hurricane shutters up before dinner yesterday. I now live in a cave. So far just a little wind and rain, another 5-6 hours and that will be quite different. I've got the weather channel on the TV and am surfing various weather sites on my laptop. My wife works for the South Florida Water Management District, and they've been training for this since Wilma passed through in '05. She works 1pm-whenever the next shift arrives tomorrow morning. I hope we don't get hit too badly, in '05 there were so many trees that had been downed that I got lost not recognizing the neighborhood just a few blocks away. It was Eerie. Tonight we'll go one hour at a time...

Sid, if you are starving I'll make a run otherwise I'll stay hunkered down with my trusty manual can opener in the pantry.  

[Long Enuff]

Sid I had the same experience here in Charleston when Hugo came through.  It looked like a war zone.  We walked down the road a block, turned around and didn't know where we were. The landscape changed so much, so many trees down, you totally lost your bearings. People don't understand it unless they have experienced it.

[Maxed Out]

 A forecasted 10 foot storm surge would be enough to make me run for the hills. Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.

I'm watching the weather channel and hoping for the best for everyone that decides to ride it out.

John, you'll be just fine. Hope you have a generator to keep the fridge running.

Thanks Rudy. I was thinking things would be torn up some more and getting groceries would be difficult. Not so, but I'll give them a chance to restock their shelves, I saw pictures of totally empty shelves in Publix. I'll make it through today and tomorrow with the food in the house.
