[woodwalker1889]

Typically 16 straight 8 off repeat. Lucky to get 5 hrs asleep when you finally get shipped back to your man camp.

 

[Ominous]

I’m a little south of the Tampa Bay area.
Gonna be rainy here soon.

I saw a storm heading that direction this morning becareful out there brother

 

[Bigmurph6]

I didn’t even have to go anywhere I guess this guy up the road is serious about fireworks he had the real deal I don’t know how but the explosions were intense and even alot for me but I love fireworks he put on an amazing show im sure that your stuff kicked ass to im just glad that you had a great night brother and enjoyed your 4th

@Ominous is getting elsa then it’s supposed to move up to us in a few days.

Thankfully it’s a tropical storm and not a cane.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I thought that it was a cane im surprised it isn’t especially in the gulf

 

[Poppy]

Brother those storms are dangerous and unpredictable. They can and have (in the past) strengthened to a hurricane in a skinny minute or dropped down to a tropical storm.

I know the gulf is warm as well as our coastal waters. They feed off of those warm waters and get stronger.

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s my experience with hurricanes lol that’s all I know is the warmer the water the worse it gets

 

[Poppy]

Something about eastern Carolina. Those darn things like to stall over us and sit and grind. The ones that move along are bad enough but the ones like Florence that sot here for 24 hours dumping rain and blowing are the ones that tear us up bad.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Isn’t it because you guys have barrier islands? I believe that stalls them that’s why I believe that this could go right through tampa bay

 

[Poppy]

Yessir we have the “outer banks”.

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s it

 

[Poppy]

After being out of power for a week and having only a portable gas generator during Florence. We bit the bullet and this installed. A whole house automatic generator.

Give me a minute to load the pic

[JLee]

That’s got to be a must have item for down there. Definitely worth the investment. Hell of lot less screwing around

 

[Bigmurph6]

Generac are badass

 

[Poppy]

Absolutely. It was like mad max after Florence looking for gas. I had mother in law here with her oxygen machine and a window unit ac just for her eating up my gas.

 

[Poppy]

We don’t have gas piped in down our road yet so We’re on a tank.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Holy shit you have a massive propane or natty gas tank 250lb?

 

[Poppy]

Yep. I wanted two of them but for whatever reason that’s the biggest residential tank they’ll install. Hopefully we can get it piped in before I die. It’s literally everywhere 1.5 miles from us.
