Wrens seems to be still on. It will be interesting to see what Tropical Storm Jose' does. I'm going to trailer in rather than fly, though, in case I need to make an IFR retreat. At the moment, it looks good for the weekend. They didn't get hit very bad over there and the roads should be cleared up in a day or three. However, I think I'll plan for a Friday arrival instead of Thursday. May bug out Saturday instead of staying to Sunday.

We had mostly some yard mess, and power back within 24 hours. The Aircam dodged a big bullet though. Here are some pictures of the hangar to the right of mine, and a picture showing my hangar door partially off the rails. I was not able to open my hangar door more than 6", but enough to look inside where everything looks OK.

With all the destruction Daytona Beach endured it is NOT declared as a disaster area so we are not eligible for FEMA help!

Yes I have the Gen running full time, just have to keep feeding it diesel fuel....we are last on the list of priorities as far as getting power back on, it may be days and days, but yes at least I have the Gen.

The local authorities have to apply and the president has to approve.
The criterium is probably flooding wind damage and shit like that. Well if Daytona Beach was good enough for a live broadcast and pictures of damages in the news it should be good enough for disaster relief. Apparently Rick Scott doesn't think so. I hate this. I have an 84 year old in my house because her roof is gone and can't apply for her because FEMA only helps declared areas. Fuck that. She needs help damn it... _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant!

You should go to the courthouse and protest.....Oh wait, protests are only for left wing agitators...that want free stuff.
Gotta love the Gov....and the media......no help unless you can be politicized to help the cause.... _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

I mean don't get me wrong I don't mind to help but this should be handled by the authorities.
I can't provide her living there til her roof gets fixed and the tree gets cut off and all that.... It might take months as we have so many roofs damaged. there are plenty of these people out there. No place to live at, no car to drive, nothing to eat. And the fucking government is dragging its feet....  _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

Good....Gabor's power restored for pizza! (On page 3)
My daughter's power was out for a bit over 7 hours.....she lives next to Tabletop Mountain in NWestern SC. I haven't had a drop of rain and no wind here in OH. Glad you guy's are okay....still hoping the same for Pete and Jake. _________________ Ed Rosenberger Last edited by RotoPlane on Wed Sep 13, 2017 6:15 pm, edited 2 times in total. |

Jake does his phone over the internet, have not heard from him. _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

I finally got power back on about 2:30 this afternoon.
I think I might get a generator before the next one. _________________ “If things go wrong, don't go with them.” ..... ― Roger Babson “People say there are thousands of options we have in life. I say we have only two: we can either be happy or be unhappy.” ..... ― Pawan Mishra |

Quote: Glad you guy's are okay....still hoping the same for Pete and Jake. Me and my little orphaned kitties are fine. Not much damage, one huge tree blew down across my driveway and lots of broken branches scattered around. I just got internet back this arvo, still running my generator. Thankfully this thing didn't hit us as bad as expected.

Pete I am so glad that thing turned North of you!
EL Yunque has done it again! I saw the monster starting to move further North I knew You would be getting less of it. I am just glad you made it through it.
