[nola mike]

Just heard from him. Ok but I think out of beer already and running low on whiskey

 

[redneck joe]

Happy and sad for him all at the same time. Sounds like **** poor planning.

A good chance the cell towers got trashed.

We made it home about 0830 this morning. No damage to property, house, boats or vehicles. Got lucky again!

For now only way to contact Scott is voice and text

I hear most of Manatee county is without power. That’s what my sister came home to but her house if fine otherwise so that’s good

 

[Scott Danforth]

Still no power. Bribed the neighbor to run my fridge off his genny for a bit

 

[Scott Danforth]

Lost a few trees. Missing some shingles.

 

[redneck joe]

Got enough booze? I figured you for a generator kinda guy.

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Got lucky too no damage, `no need to go down to supervise clean up.

There is one large oak that is down in the side yard, contractor said $1400 to make it go away, done. Kinda sucks people losing their entire home, car, possessions and an empty house gets no damage.

 

[Scott Danforth]

6 more days without power

I was thinking about that, if you have a whole house generator in Florida where do you keep it safe in a hurricane?

Prob anchored if outdoors.

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Prob anchored if outdoors.

On the ground it gets flooded, on the roof it gets blown away? Has to be outdoors.

 

[Scott Danforth]

Power came back early this morning. Still about 50% of the county without power

Hope it will be sooner then expected

My sister is still without power. She keeps complaining she just wants to go home.
I get it but I have to remind her that she has a home to go to. Many don’t. The grass is greener on her side of fence.

Bad as Milton was, I feel like it was better than expected. If power out is your only problem, you fared great. Location means all the difference, except when a hurricane spawns tornados. I was surprised about tornadoes; I did not know that was a thing.
