Hope you can ride it out fine, Bob. And hope the Tolly makes it OK
too!

thanks tim...will find out wednesday! glub glub


Left or right of the eye??


We are in a particularly bad area I think.. As the thing goes west the
top edge will be slaughtering us with full force winds, and as it wraps
around us and turns to the north and out again, we will be on the right
side of the storm for what they feel may be a full 36 hours of full
force hurricane rain AND wind... This is gonna' **** us up bad.


You are screwed.

Maybe not, Scott. Hope not at least, but at least you have your
generator handy. Now would be a good time to do a test fire before
anything hits.

Yes, and also get some extra jerry jugs of fuel. If power goes out
over a wide spread area, the gas stations can't pump even though they
have it. After Hurricane Charlie in 2004 my neighbor and I were
taking turns driving 30+ miles to find filling stations that were
open.

Be careful of carbon monoxide. There are always a few casualties
after every big storm from people running the generator too close to
the house (or in the garage).

We have a good spot and are not really in a CO2 situation with the size
of the house and the gen outside... Looks like the storm is going to
turn north further west of us so at least we won't be that wheel hub
that it rotates around, about 60 miles out as we thought...

Good luck to you guys that are going to take a hit from this storm. We just had a windy and cloudy weekend from it here in SC, didn't even get any rain.
