Ernesto had a lot of rain in it for sure. We didn't get much wind though. They said we would be getting 70mph sustained. It never happened. Heck, the beer drinkers down in the Keys produced more wind than that storm did, a least for us. What about Floyd 1999? I think that one put out so much rain that 250,000 hogs drowned in the Carolinas. At least that's were the papers were claiming.


As Far as I know that was true I think that was my first Major one. Comming from the great lakes I have never had to deal with those. I was working as a sub- contarctor on the Outerbanks and The place I was at only has access by going down the beach. I rode with the guy I was working for that day. The beach which used to be 100 or so feet away was know hitting his door panels .. whewwww I was happy to get home.. another 2 hrs away that took 5 hrs.

I was thinking about all of you in the path of the Hurricanes and am glad that all seem to be OK! It rains sideways in AZ quite often (that is when it rains) but, the winds aren't nearly as strong. That's just the way it rains here - really strange.

I remember the blizzards and ice storms in the 70's in Ohio. I survived the blizzard of 78/79 by being marooned in D.C. Hey, I just visited the Smithsonian! My car was buried when I got home to about 1 foot on the top is all that I could see.

Colorado? Eh, just little bitty snow storms - no biggee!

Keep us all posted as the Season progresses!

Be Safe!
