Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

Where can I find a track of Irma's path through Florida? I can find 'we think it's going here in the next couple of days' plots all over the place, but not 'it went exactly here' plots. Also, Dan, Manfred, anybody, can you tell me how hard it hit the trailer parks around Lady Lake? It sounds

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

You are really living right. Our power went out around 10:30 last night. Then about two hours later one of the trees fell across the power line and pulled it out of the connections at the house. Probably won't have power for more then a week. The individual house power connections are at the

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

Thanks! Yeah, that’s not my mayor (I live in unincorporated Hillsborough County, not the City of Tampa.) Bob’s a good guy - I eat lunch with him every once in a while as I work a block away from his office. His job sucks, as no matter what he does if there’s much in the way of water the

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

Glad you guys fared well. I watched a phone interview with your mayor last night. He sounded pretty confident that the city was prepared for the worst the storm could dish out. You personally were prepared well too.  We can all take a lesson from that. Again, I am grateful you guys are okay.

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

Yeah, I think you can take the “mostly” out of that. We escaped it, for sure. I’ve seen more damage around my neighborhood from strong summer thunderstorms. Thank you. -D > On Sep 11, 2017, at 7:42 AM, Dwight Giles wrote: > > Glad to hear you mostly escaped Irma. >

Never lost it. Got a couple of bumps but not even long enough to reset clocks. Cable went out several times but came right back up as well. Lots of tree junk all over the place, looks like my 20’ elm tree got knocked over, but some stakes and a comealong should put that right. Surprised I

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass

Still got power? SWMBO folks live in Apopka.  Watching the news late last night, looked like they got a direct hit. Waiting for word from them. Rick ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or

[MBZ] All Things Must Pass

And that includes Irma. Now leaving the area to harass the residents of Georgia. Too dark/early for a walkabout here, and the authorities have not issued an all clear yet, either, but from what I can see from my cameras there is no damage to speak of, just a lot of detritus laying about. I
