I went into the kitchen to make myself a cpl pieces of Apple Strudel bread w/cream cheese 5 min ago. I put the bread in the toaster & the power goes out. Looks like it’s not coming back on this time.
I went to take the trash to the main rd for pick up at 6am & I about got drowned & blown away, only to find when I got there ( it’s 1.5 mi to the road ) that it looks like trash pick up has been canceled today. Wish I had gotten that friggin memo jeezzz.
Looks like it’s gonna be a good day to catch up on some reading & possibly some day drinking.

Woke up just before 7, amazed I still had power and was about to make coffee and then the power went

Good luck to all living through this. Vac pac your powder and primers

Find a bar, board up and the rest is up to you! ( When I was a younger fella that's what we used to do in Corpus Christi)

I’m watching it dump on you. I suspect Carrabelle is gettin hammered right now

Got power back, think it is basically over for me.

@Ninering62 still has no power, I may run my generator up to him later this afternoon

Well we're in Clermont Florida and it passed well north of us. We just got some wind but a lot of rain. No problems at all.

 

[Slingingslugs]

Power just came back on at my house. Alachua county got a pass in general. No major wide spread damage for the most part. I fear our neighboring county's to the north and west didn't get as lucky.

 

[anonymouscowherd]

Yeah, just saw on a different forum where basically anything west of 27/41 is powerless

 

[Slingingslugs]

I'm 1 mile east of 27/41 off of 62nd Ave

Brick house on the corner right by Reamer Hancock's old place?

No other corner where 2054 heads west, that first south turn that catches all the drunks

That brick house was Sam Andrews and his awesome custom gunleather

 

[Slingingslugs]

Yeah I go through there all the time

I just don’t get these guys standing out in the dangerous wind while stuff is whizzing by or getting soaked by horizontal rain. They had one reporter standing in a water puddle maybe a foot deep and commenting how deep the water level was while 3 kids on bicycles were on the same road about 100 yards back on dry land
I watch the local weather guys on WESH2 that are low key and don’t sensationize the
event. Bad enough to know a hurricane is out there and don’t need the constant mentioning how a 100 year old tree snapped from the storm’s fury or how wet the street outside is.

Still no power here. The houses near the main rd had power back yesterday. We are 1.5mi from the main rd & no one has power back yet. I heard yesterday that over 80% of my county was without power.
AC & his son brought us a generator & 3 small 12v batteries with an inverter to charge the phones.
So at least we can power up the 2 frig/freezers & the big meat freezer now. Why the hell the folks didn’t put a diesel back up gen in with an underground tank when they built this place is beyond me.
Anyways, that’s the update from Ft Ninering
