OOG: Hurricane Dennis!

Everyone,

Last year it was Ivan the Terrible and it looks like this year it's 
Dennis the Menace that will be coming to call. Makes me dread 
company! :)

I'm sure to lose power here, I just hope I don't lose the roof...or 
worse...so if you don't hear from me for a few days that will be 
why. Remember last time power was out here for 2 weeks. Dennis could 
be just as bad, so...:(

IAC, the games will be suspended until after Dennis gets past and I 
get power back. If you want to chat among yourselves, please do, and 
if you are so inclined I'm sure everyone down here could use your 
good thoughts, best wishes, and prayers.

Your Friend!

Thanks JR! I survived Dennis, but I'd just as soon no more 
"visitors" show up here for a few years now. :)

May I suggest somewhere a tad less vulnerable? Minot comes to mind... :-)

FYI,

I spoke with Eris' mom a little while ago.  Seems that they are indeed 
without power (standard response, I'm thinking), had a few trees come down 
(also standard), but had no other damage from the storm.

So, keep them in your thoughts and prayers, but don't worry!  Blessings on 
you Eris!

Power out was standard. I think 100% was out in Santa Rosa County 
where I am. It was about 50% in Escambia County just to the west and 
about 25% in Okaloosa County to the east. I got power back last 
Thursday night about 9pm, so that wasn't nearly as bad as I feared, 
but folks, no A/C in 100+ heat index for days on end will kill! The 
nights never got below 80 and the humidity at night was upper 80's, 
too, so it was unrelenting day and night. One of our cats died from 
the heat and Mom wasn't doing very well herself. I was able to get 
Mom into A/C for a few hours every day: in the car waiting in line 
for water and ice, just walking around in Walmart (once the power 
came back there), and eventually at friends houses as they started 
getting power back.

Anyway, I'm back and will now proceed to try to get game posts out. :)

Welcome back to the electric world

Speaking as one who also lives on the Hurrican alley. A small generator can't 
be beat.  I have a 2k which runs a window AC. I can stick it on the freezer 
for an hour every 5 or 6 hours and have ice to use in coolers and I get to do 
TV or radio and run a few light bulbs. Mine is a honda and it doubles doing 
the same duty on the boat when I anchor out in the summer. The only problem 
is the size of the gas tank. It only runs a 6k btu ac for about 6 hours. I 
fixed the problem by drilling a hole in a spare gas cap and hooking up 
another tank to it just in case I sleep late.
