Can we trade for healthy rains ?

Here in Atlanta it is a love/need/hate relationship. We love the remnant rains, we hate the damaging effects. We need the rain, we hate the severe droughts when there is a shortage of hurricanes or distant hurricanes that pull the moisture away from us to say Texas or Louisiana or when they swing north and hit the NE US.

There were 60 in Louisiana alone. Smashed their old record of 30.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I am back, or should I say the Electricity is back on. Must have come back while I was mowing the front yard, taking a break before back yard. No damage here except most of the items in the two frigs/freezer are a loss as power was out for just over 3 days. There are still over 1 million customers without power. We had between 10 and 11 inches of rain and winds here were estimated at 65 mph with higher gusts for about 4 to 5 hours.

The good news is this was a Cat 1 storm, if it had been say a Cat 3 or Cat 4 out winds could have been 40 to 60 mph higher sustained. That would have been bad!!

I figured you must have lost power. Sorry about the fridges, but glad it wasn't worse. I've been through a Cat 1 in a trailer, so, even though it's unnerving, it's "doable".

Good to hear from you.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
