Tiggerdad and Bama Ed- check in as soon as you can- continuing prayers for Florida and surrounding areas. Doesn't seem possible that here in Minnesota we have a perfect early fall day- yet just a couple days away there is such devastation
FYI... We drove back home yesterday, avoiding I-75. 19 is four-landed all the way, and the traffic was minimal. However, we had a terrible time finding gas until we were north of I-10.
That's good Ed. They are still saying gusts to 55 and 5 to 7 inches of rain. Of course it could change again.
We were in a Class C motorhome in FW 200 loop for Opal - how naive were we not even being worried about our safety but lucky there was no disruption in any services for us.No problem Teamubr ... I think the most important link will be the power outage link. It's absolutely amazing that 75% of the power is out in Miami-Dade county currently and it will only get worse as the storm moves up the state. Like I said earlier, we were out of power for nearly 2 weeks post 1995 Hurricane Opal. Gulf Power is our provider and they had armies of "other" power companies helping to restore power in the Florida panhandle. Fortunately, there were two gas stations very near our hospital and the power company got power to that area very quickly. I was able to get gas there for my 5.5kw generator and continue to feed it about 5 gallons per day.
We now have a natural gas whole house generator
