Well so far so good. High Winds and lots of rain. Lots of trees down. Still have power. As you probally can tell. Eye hit north of here. People north of here are in worse shape. If it is worse than were I am HOLY S!*t Batman. My best to those in Florida north of me. Hope everybody on the board is alright in Florida.

Looks like it was pretty destructive... And we have not heard from Buford yet... He probably lost power...

What you would be looking at is where my son Jarrett, you can see him in my avatar, sits when he is using his PC.
I kinda liked the window cam too so I may set a more permanent one up.

Point that webcam at your garage... show us a piece of plywood... in the shape of a teardrop...

then every few days, throw in a piece of wood just for grins and giggles...

LOL

I did do some work this week on the trailer. I cut out two templates. the first a tradational tear. the second a weekender. now i just ponder which to do. :?: :?:

I think I may take your idea and post it. I have a wireless USB extender so I can put a camera on my deck where I work. let me see if I can dig up the equipment.

Bet you thought you'd be done with me. Not so fast. We got power back Friday night. I just know that there would be lots of stuff to read and I'd be here a while. So I didn't even get on the board till this morning.

We did just fine. Lost power Sat night around 12:30 am. Lots of high winds. Tree limb did come down over power line but they got it off Friday afternoon.

All I can tell you so for is that Fl should be called the blue tarp state. There is nothing but blue, green, black, gray, etc. tarps all over the houses down here now. Just about everyone who's roofs were over 10 years old are messed up.

Some new roofs also as they reroofed after the 1st storm and the tar didn't have time to melt.

Below us in Indian River County is really a big mess.

Wish all these people well as there were 8000 homes that are unliveable now.
