Cypress Sun

We got power back a little after midnight this morning. Good thing as I was almost out of gasoline for the generator and fuel is scarce around these parts right now. Where there is fuel, there is also 2 hour lines to get it and the station runs out within a few hours. I read a report from the Pasco Co Sheriffs Dept that there had been 177 calls for fights at fuel lines/pumps as of Friday. We filled our vehicles up way before the storm we're good there. A curious thing happened this afternoon. A team of Nevada Fire Rescue firemen/rescuers came around door to door asking if we needed anything and inquiring about damage. They were somehow associated with FEMA as they also had patches that said both Nevada Fire Rescue and FEMA on it. They were dressed in full black uniforms with red helmets and accompanied by two Federal Marshalls who stayed in their black, unmarked vehicle. The Marshalls themselves were in two white vans with Nevada plates. I talked to one of them for a short while and asked them if they wanted cold water as they were dressed in full black and it was hotter than hell. They were all from Las Vegas.

Congrats to Cleveland! Well played game! Errors matter! Now, on to the damn Yankees to kick some ass...I hope.

The Saturday Detroit - Cleveland game moved up to 1:08pm from 8:08 pm EST due to the possibility of bad weather. Just a heads up!

Is that the recent lights? I've heard about the ones from a few months ago, haven't heard about anyone seeing the yesterday.

Damn it, all we get is hurricanes.

The ultimate worst umpire in MLB ever. As far as AI in the majors...NO.

Go Tribe!

AHA, Now I have her area code I am so gonna score!

Got through it okay. No obvious damage other than some minor fence damage but haven't been on the roof yet. Water came up considerably further than two weeks ago but didn't come in. The power's out but the generator is going so we have lights, fans, refrigerator, freezer and microwave...no ac though. It got pretty interesting last light with a lot of wind, some in the 100mph+ mark and a ton of rain. I only drove about 8 miles, from where we stayed, to get home. A lot of trees/large branches down, debris in the road, traffic lights out or damaged. A bunch of places are flooded, either from storm surge or rain flooding. I got lucky, a bunch of folks south of me didn't. A bunch of people far away from the landfall location didn't either due to flooding and tornado damage. Still two more months until the end of hurricane season.

With flip flops.

If you had bought gold 5 years ago instead of Trail Boss...,would you sell your gold at your buy price?

Come on man...everyone knows that "it's a dry heat."

I saw everyone bundled up at the Tribe game yesterday and though, that must be nice! To the question at hand. NO, it's a extremely muggy/humid 80. It's only 80 because there is cloud cover. Generally, we don't turn on the heat but once or twice a year usually around the end of January/beginning of February.

Did they get him a babysitter or a "lady of the evening"?

Hurricanes generally lose energy when they hit land. The further inland it continues to travel, they continue to shed energy due to various factors including friction. The inland areas could face dangerous winds and possible flooding not related to surge. The east coast could also face dangerous winds, possible storm surge flooding and no surge flooding. If your friends are in an area that floods from either rain or surge, they need to leave. If they reside in a mobile home, they need to seek a sturdier structure. Fact is, anyone in the direct path of the storm can be in danger.

Winds now up to 180.

She figured out what just happens to occur during a backrub. When she's venting about a problem is....well....the wrong time.

Congrats on your purchase! Two must have items (IMO) are a light (see below link) and MORE primer pickup tubes. There are various types of lights, I prefer the type that uses the middle hole in the loading block but there are others. The link shown is for an example, I don't know anything about the company in the provided link. company.https://inlinefabrication.com/products/skylighttm-led-lighting-kit-for-the-dillon-550

We boarded up but if we get hit with 160 mph winds...it isn't going to matter much.

It's a Cat 5 now packing 160 mph winds. It's looking pretty grim. No matter where this hits, damage is going to be extreme.

Only if it's shaken, not stirred.

After drinking a couple of Dos Equis and chasing whitetail...probably wouldn't be able to do much by the time he caught one.

Please remind her that she doesn't have to go far. A study structure that is not in a flood zone is all that's needed. Hide from the wind, run from the water. We're going to board up tomorrow. Trimmed what little tree branches that could harm the roof and most of the stuff is already still in the shed from a few days ago. We are going to go to her cousin's house that was built in the 50's and is about 45' above mean high tide mark. House is built like a tank also...that's back when they used real wood to build a house and trusses. His place is only 15 minutes from us so no re-entry problems into our county. Hopefully everything will work out, but I don't know....this one looks real nasty, dire predictions. I've never really worried before about a hurricane or storm, this one concerns me. Mrs. Sun is really scared. We'll monitor the path closely, see what happens and take (hopefully) the appropriate action.
