Still sunshine here. Flash flood warnings have already come out. I tried to get Florida relatives to come stay with us. Only my parents have done so.

Getting a LITTLE windy.....

I'm about 100 miles south of the rest of the gang (just south of ATL)....

It's getting a little windy.... Neighbor has a couple dead trees pointed right at my house! Says she doesn't have a pot to pee in but she has insurance.... GEEEE thanks!

Hurricane

I am 100 miles south of Atlanta, in Alabama. Schools closed for tomorrow. Getting a little windy now. Tomorrow about noon projected to come right over us with strong winds and rain but a tropical storm at that point. Very likely we will have a few trees down. Thanks for the concerns.

Glad to hear all is well so far. Y'all stay in touch.

Haven't heard from Bikerphil yet though. He's right in the thick of it.

Bikerphil is most likely without power and/or cell service. I have a brother on Florida's east coast. Hi winds and no power so far. A friend lives in Naples. I'm pretty sure he and his family had to evacuate.

Supposed to have winds up to 50 mph here with a lot of rain. Potential for power loss is good. Have generator and plenty of gas ready.

Good Mike. Stay safe brother.

Didn't mean to leave you off my list above, just pulled names off the top of my head. I'm certain I missed others also, Jump in and keep us posted.

Yes stay safe................

I have a friend in Miami he said power was cut last night and had been running off a geny so far.....I haven't heard from him since this morning so hopefully all is good......He said winds were blowing and had a limb come down through the carport and car was taking on water.........other than that all was good.

Irma

I am 35 miles west of Orlando. Wind is howling and the rain is driving. Worst will be around the 2am hour. It's been a long day and going to be an even longer need night.

You still have power Ernie?

[ESJr1642]

Power

It's been on and off, I am shocked we still have power!
Even more shocking is DirectTv still has a signal.

Sent the wife and dog to bed, no point in all of us loosing sleep.

Maybe shoveling snow was not so bad..
I will post updates along the way, Monday for sure.
I hope guys like Jeff in Tampa and the rest of the Orlando Gang are safe.

Well the worst of Irma passed over at 2:30 am. Looks lovely me she is headed north up I75.

Still have very gusty winds and heavy rain, will have to access the damage at daylight.

No Problem

Good Mike. Stay safe brother.

Hi Greg, no problem. Have spoken with people today from Florida north. Everyone of them report they are ok.

We have had steady rain and some wind today. Power has gone off and back on several times. No big deal other than we have quite a bit more rain on the way. Many businesses and schools closed today.

My City getting POUNDED!

XS Friends,
The worst is apparently yet to come but it's already been pretty bad.

• Neighbor #1 lost a tree hit other neighbor's(#2) truck
• Neighbor #3 has an oak on his roof.... Luckily a fairly small tree.
• Neighbor #1's bro lives about two streets away... two big pines slammed his house and his '57 chevy in the garage is TOAST! Saw the phone photos...ITS JUNK!

Power just came back after 3 hours out. Supposed to be worse in the evening.
