That was good news ::012::

OPHELIA , in the atlantic.....

 

[Madhatter]

California wildfires seem to me to be the bigger nightmare when it comes to natural disasters. the trauma of seeing the smoke and flames racing toward all you have . the terror of it being fire. the total loss everything , burnt to ashes. makes hurricanes seem preferable , if one could choose their natural disaster . a reminder in this world that permanent is fleeting , it could be you or me next.

 

[Madhatter]

Ophelia may track toward Europe , a rare event for sure..... I read it on the net so it has to be true.........

 

[Madhatter]

you guys in UK ready for hurricane Ophelia , weather dudes say its going there...

 

[Nikolajsen]

Yes, headed towards Ireland.
But seems to be "slowing down", less wind speed. (says the danish weather forecast), but still powerfull enough to do same damage.

 

[Madhatter]

just read that 3 dead so far , 119 mph wind gust , storm surge.... what a year.....

Yes, didn't slow as much as expected :'(

things seem quiet now , have not had a chance to visit coastal area to see or spend some dollars to help in a small way.... its not the first time nor will it be the last time that hurricanes will come and do their thing . it is part of life , you have the good and then there is the bad ..... most will overcome in some way this devastation , some will move on.... it is not the end , it is a new beginning ( that no one wanted ) on this journey we call life....

Just got off the phone with someone at Taqueria San Juan in Port Aransas. Said they've been open for three days. I told my wife it's time to plan a ride to Rockport and Port A .

Signatures ??? we don't need no stinking signatures !!!

 

[snakebitten]

Excellent news!!!!
Wish I was there now.
Sent all 3 of my Yamaha generators to Puerto Rico. (boss requested them) As soon as a new 3000 arrives at my dealership, I'm heading to Port A! (hard to come by right now)

Thanks for the heads up.

I have been wanting to go camp on the beach.

Signatures ??? we don't need no stinking signatures !!!

 

[Madhatter]

carrot and myself have been talking about going to the beach soon , we should make a plan....

 

[snakebitten]

I'd be there now, but waiting on the new generator. Hurricanes pretty much depleted Yamaha of the model I am wanting. Waiting for it to arrive at my dealership.

I'd be there NOW. The weather is absolutely perfect down here now. Kind of an irony.

 

[Madhatter]

weather never waits on my plans , October should be Texans favorite month...... saw a tropical disturbance south of the Yucatan... just saying.....
