Storm damage ??

I'm Digging your priorities! I had to wait and hit 3 Gas Stations, before I found one with power. Got mine this morning after work 😀

Haha!

It is that kind of attitude that we need more of around here!

Did the sweating and shakes kick in? Ha.

Ha! Not this time!

Was home by 6pm...had a ice cold Shiner and then some mixed drinks...went to bed around 8:45.

Really? On the hurricanes. Maybe the map has changed but last I saw, about 3 weeks ago, there's a huge pause on Atlantic activity due to dust storms from Africa that has been covering the sections that are known for our hurricane activity in the US. The dust filters the sun which is primarily detrimental to the formation of hurricanes.

Like I said it may have changed.

I hadn't seen that but will check out because it sounds interesting to me. That would be great news for folks on the coasts if that stifles things that much.

Was fishing and left 5 minutes before it started up at Flanagan Lake. Was driving home in it and stopped to get booze, almost could not open the car door to get inside the store!

Power was out for 12 hours.

Hope you had enough booze 😉

We've got a combination of overhead and underground on the farm. I found out recently underground isn't forever. More expensive to install and more expensive to repair. I do like the safety aspect of underground though and not looking at lines. But sure enjoyed shooting sparrows on the lines as a kid until I shot the wire with my 22 and the wire eventually burned off to the shop and needed repairing

Sparrows iz fine eatin'.

seems like some on here have never lost power. when i lived in arkansas it happened almost weekly. had to call the bucket truck.

Thank God our power lines are buried.

Doesn't everyone have a Cummins powerset hooked to the house.?

I’ve thought about it. I should at least have a heavy enough cord from my panel to my garage to be able to hook up to a pto driven generator hooked on to one of my Kubotas. I’ve never been out of power for over a few hours at a time though

The farm cats learned when we go shooting sparrows to sit under the power lines and definitely enjoyed eating sparrows

Crazy. Thoughts and prayers to all affected.

Sucks that these storms are becoming the new normal. Insurance companies nation wide can't keep up without raising everyone's premiums.

Home insurance might become a luxury in the future it this keeps up, as it seems to be with the worst hurricane season since I was a wee lad is predicted for this coming season.

Yeah... I remember back in the day when we didn't have storms. It's was 70 and sunny all the time the only rain we got was a sprinkle. Oh wait, there's always been storms.
