Everyone Take Care

[VxSport]

I just wanted to drop a note to all our members out in the Northeast of the US. I have a couple friends that have left ahead of the storm. I have lived thru huricanes down in coastal Tx. No fun.

Check in with us every once in awhile. We will be praying for you.

I'm ready.

So I move away from Hampton Roads thinking I'll avoid flooding, only to now receive a forecast for hurricane-related snow. Crazy...

And L.A. had a bit of a shake today!
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

So far just breezy & rain.

I spent most of Saturday getting ready: re-dug ditch on side of house (DOT responsibility but I was under-whelmed the last time they did it), cleaned out sump pump, cleared drain beside driveway, took down Haloween decorations that might blow away, cleaned gutters, strapped down sunroom, took down flag, moved RV into driveway & out from under trees (hey, we'll be living in it if we lose power), gassed up cars & RV, ...

I'm hoping the storm is over-rated & all my hard work was for nothing.

They did close Fed Gov't in this area though so now I get to try & get back to the plumbing job in the Master Bath.

Did the same thing spent all day Saturday cleaning up the yard and putting everything away that can blow away.
Gonna have to watch I just put up a new 20'x22" steel building with 10' side walls to park my lifted S-10 and the VX in. The concrete floor is not poured yet and there's no door so I'm hoping the 50 mph winds don't blow the sides out.
I have plenty of food and I picked up 20 gallons of gas for the generator so I'm ready.

Its raining here now and the winds are already picking up.

This old willow tree was in pretty bad shape already, so I'm not surprised, or very unhappy, that it blew over. Just hope none of my neighbors trees decide to fall my way.

I went out to gas up the VX this morning and pick up some shelves, might as well work on the garage since I am off work. The sporting goods aisle at wally world was empty...lol. Not a flashlight left in that store. Here I am, buying cabinets and shelves. Lady thought I was crazy.

That is all I can say....the hurricane walloped my current State of NJ and my old home State of NY....where I grew up is destroyed..people washed away and killed by the surges from the ocean. One Mom lost power and was getting water so she put her 2 and 4 year olds in an SUV and started to drive to Brooklyn. While on her way the ocean started to come crashing into land and she evacuated her vehicle - lost the 2 year old and then the 4 year old slipped away....both were found tonight in the marsh - my cousin was on a gas line with me and she received news her friends husband and son were killed when the surge came in and flooded and then collapsed the foundation walls on their home - father (50) and son (20) were both killed.....just two of the horrible stories from this storm.
I lost some pieces of my house (a 10 ft column, ballisters, shingles, my kids trampoline etc.) but everyone is fine and no injuries so we were lucky. Lost power at 3:00pm Monday and came back on today. Thank goodness for my generator, and some luck finding gas. I am glad everyone is well.

Should have bought exterior paint. That really would have freaked her out!

I am pretty sure I had 4 chairs and 2 tables on my patio. I can't prove it, so I will just pick form the collection scattered down the street...lol.

Got pretty ugly my way. Powerlines down due to falling trees, flooded roads, and debris everywhere. Work closed yesterday so I just stayed in and kept eye on the house to make sure if it blew away, I could go down with the ship. Today, not so much., Work as scheduled. The drive in was only slight mayhem. Parked the STi since the VX was better suited for some romper stomper action if need be. Good thing too. Drove over quite a bit of nature and man made items. I didnt see any power outages for stoplights or anything on my 30 mile commute in, but according to the news, they are out there. Hope folks arent without power too long. Its a chilly one out there today.
