Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

Well I can get about 15 amps out of a direct connection right at the controller but that won't do much for the house since it's too far away. It's a safety and interface thing. The controller has to take the pulse of the net so to speak in order to synchronize the 60 cycle waves or else

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

I tried while the storm was still over on the coast on Monday morning and didn't get hold of anyone live. Yesterday afternoon and this morning I just get a busy signal. I will keep trying during the day and see if I get through. In the meantime I try to keep the dog and wife away from the area

Manfred, Isn’t there a way you can utilize your solar array for power? If not it seems sort of silly that it’s there making electrons yet you can’t put them to use… Just curious… -D > On Sep 12, 2017, at 7:45 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > While the meter on the

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

While the meter on the dome is electronic, I don't think it is a smart meter. The meter on the house where the line was ripped lose is still an old analog type meter so no phone home from it for sure. MG Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: On September 11, 2017 at 6:53 PM MG via Mercedes

That's tough about the line. Can call them about it? Gerry P.S. This may be delayed since the internet is off and on here. ~~ MG wrote: > Not much. A soft hit on the edge of the roof, not too bad and > easy to fix and a tree that took out the power

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

Not much. A soft hit on the edge of the roof, not too bad and easy to fix and a tree that took out the power line at the house end. Just pulled it right out of the connection and broke the strain relief. Now to wait for Clay electric to come and hook it back up. probably some time next month

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

The storm is moving north and west towards AL, I believe. However, it was such a massive storm that the rain bands reached out completely covering the peninsula of FL and were as wide as Charleston over to Pensacola. This thing was an absolute beast. 12 hours later and it’s a typical FL day,

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

It was the other side of Florida, maybe 200-300?  I don't know, would have to do googling. Tornado watches and warnings going off all over, someone said there was one on this Island but I don't know where exactly. No rain or wind right now, I am going out on the bike to get some pics of

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

I had a smallish tree fall on my truck, where I had parked it to get away from the trees...  Got the chainsaw out and dealt with that, truck seems OK. Rain and wind were pretty strong (not hurricane, but blowing and gusty) but now none of either. Tidal surge has caused a LOT of flooding, I

Hi Gerry, Sounds like you made it through OK so far. We're finally getting a little wind and rain, 20 mph with gusts over 30. Had a couple tornado watches in the last hour but nothing materialized. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 1:44 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes <

[MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

We are into the tornado segment around here in West Citrus County with the winds going every which way and some still quite forceful. I wandered around the neighborhood and found no damage other than a lot of light debris from the trees of which we have too many. Speaking of trees, of which I
