Pete that thing is heading toward you....

Yep, it's bearing down on me!
A friend went to Farjardo this afternoon, I gave him a pint of rum and half a dozen cigars to take up to El Yunque on the way. I hope it holds some sway. I need a break from all this! Has anyone heard from JAKE? I saw an article that sez Everglades City was smashed and flooded pretty bad. Ol' Jake, clever lad that he is, will work around it somehow and help a lot of other folks too! _________________ Grumpy old Basdid... |

El Yunque had better not get drunk on the booze before taking care of business!!!!
Then it's time for some good cigar too  _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense. |

I guess we've had several scares and close calls during that time but it just doesn't seem that long. I'm very worried about this one, a bad feeling in my guts. I have my two little kitties squared away. They have grown noticeably since Irma. They are much more active now. The gov say they are shutting down everything at 7 pm so I will probably be losing internet about that time although I have my generator? We are getting some wind and rain bands now but nothing serious YET! I'll try to keep you posted as things develop ... Do you understand "nervous chatter"? _________________ Grumpy old Basdid... |

Yes, Pete, I can understand it very much so. I have a bad feeling about this too.
I just don't like how fast it had become a cat 5 so it's sucking up all the warm water. Coming from deeper South then Irma did. Let's hope it decides to ride the Coriolis and goes up fast. Speed is everything with this one. Fingers crossed Pete!!!!! _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

Fox is showing San Juan right now. I have stayed at that hotel a few years back. Ritz is built well. Seems as if the eye is now making landfall. Good luck Pete.

The last I read was no electricity for most people for perhaps at least a month in PR. Pete's generator will get a workout....hope he stays okay and has enough fuel for his needs. Glad Maria missed you southerners.
Been a good day.....glad Jake made it thru!! _________________ Ed Rosenberger |

I know Pete you don't have electricity and cell or internet right now but we all pulling for you my friend.
You are a survivor and you got those kittens to take care of! I hope you are well under the circumstances of course. If you get a chance by any miracle please let us know that you are ok.  _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

Durn, More rain and wind coming, at least it is going to miss the other areas damaged by the hurricanes..

I'm not liking the way the forecast rack is drifting west...
I'm glad I still have my supply of stabilized gas for the generator.  http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2017/NATE_graphics.php?product=5day_cone_with_line_and_wind |
