It’s been some rain for us but fortunately we missed the worst of it. It ended up about 2-3 hours west. It’s always scary and I feel for those that took the brunt of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very on brand for 2020 Well, get ready again... Sally is projected to be a Cat.2 now and it looks like it could hit the same place as the one a few weeks ago. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 After they run the alphabet French-English-Spanish names in Western Hemisphere, they use Greek Alphabet. But there are many names to alternate in when a destructive storm forces them to retire a name. Question... What replaces a retired Greek Alphabet letter for a destructive storm?

How about not promoting people to live in dangerous areas, Mother Nature is trying to make it a disincentive, yet governments make it an incentive. How about shoot for limits on people and create less habitable lands directly on coasts?

I never fretted much, but would run away for a Cat 4 or 5. We live in Atlanta now, FAR from serious danger, I thought. The last one to pass thru (I don’t even pay attention to the names now being so far removed) may have turned my satellite dish a bit. It took down trees in the neighborhood and hit some houses badly. We also got a new TV today and paid some guy to hook it up as well as get our new internet provider up to speed. He’s awesome, but DTV will not come back on line. ZERO help from the many people we spoke to. Supervisor after supervisor. Over the years I’ve just “gone along”. I see the “how good of a deal did you get” threads. I always offered my full pay to subsidize the others, I’ll just pay more so you can pay less. I was just lazy, not generous. THEY HAVE PISSED ME OFF! I PAY A FORTUNE TO SEE BILLS GAMES! If I miss one game I want the year for free. I have other options, they have just shat themselves for the last time. . Rant over.

I have a 7' by 5" piece of oak in a corner from that storm that I'll eventually turn into something. Ripped it right out of the middle of the tree. Glad this one is cruising along at a good speed.

Fires Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Cat 1 or TS I don't worry. FPL has done a lot of work to upgrade their lines. Though their trimming is lacking. That's the only problem I see. I've got a generator, hopefully don't have to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
