Next day and a half will tell us alot. I filled up the diesel truck, and will grab 10g gas today to feed the loader tractor or another to run the pto Gen.

Got some spam n tuna in the house already, animal feed is good.

Good luck to us.
 
I am hoping for the best for ya. I am also hoping we will get some of that rain by the first of the week don't need the wind but sure do need rain here in New Hampshire. Good luck. Think of those folks in Haiti living in make shift tents.
 
It barely tipped Haiti and Cuba..main reason its strong for Florida, if it had hit Cuba more, would weak on.

Haiti..well they just get the brown end of the stick when it comes to Caribbean storms.
 

Wish you all the best, glad we don't get kinds of storms here in Oregon.. Had a wind storm in 1962 that was pretty bad. Had to hand milk 30 cows for 10 days before they got the power back on. No body had generators back then. At least in my area.
 

Damm I knew I forgot sum"N, SPAM... I also forgot to stop by my uncles and fire up his generator. My son called around everyone was out of stock on generators so he order one off amazon. 2 day deliver and he can send it back if he don't use it...

If we get hit no doubt I will have a hole house generator if for nuttin else I have natural gas fuel is not the problem. When Fran hit in 96 we were with out power for 12 days.

I remember you talking about the PTO gen I have a 46 HP diesel tractor will it break you up keeping fuel to it.
 
My son is in Delray Beach on the east side. He said he went to the food store last night and there's nothing let, shelves are bare. Hunker down to ride it out.

I try to eat healthier now.. but we always have a few cans of the turkey spam in the pantry. it's better than spam lite. tuna
and canned chicken too.

I've got a 12.5kw pto gen. I usually only use it sparingly. I hav ethe 950 gasser parked up by the barn where i can hook the
gen up to the well. I'll only run her to pump the well up during the time that I let the refer's run . probably run them 30
minutes every 4 hours. pump up some water, etc.

Longest we have been without power was 04/05 hurricane season. 12 days for me, and 16 for my parents. Worst part was major
road coridoors were without power, so no gas or fuel for 3 cities.. so you just sat on what you had and used it very
sparringly. Between me and my parents down the road, back when fuel finally became available ( and power ), 2 cities away, I
was down to 1/2 tank of fuel in my truck.. so was glad utils came back. lost our fridge that season as well in a later storm..
lightning I think.
 
Yeah, hang on tight down there guys. My friend's daughter is in Haiti as an intern for a semester, now she gets to be a relief worker instead. The kid is getting an education, that's for sure.
 
Lotta prayers for folks in the storm's path. Son No. 1 and family evac'd from Charleston yesterday, and got a txt from my brother last nite, who lives two blocks from the ocean in Daytona Beach. He was putting up plywood and sandbagging everything, but didn't sound very enthusiastic. They have a mandatory evacuation order there...

Ben Livingston is a highly decorated military man who became known as "the father of weather weaponry". He was hired to make it rain in Viet Naam so that the Ho Chi Min trail would be too muddy for troop movement. What he has to say about hurricanes is critically important info. As he said in another interview, "given what we know now about hurrication damage reduction, there's no reason for another hurricane to hit our shores."

For anyone with enough common sense to watch him in an interview:
BenLivingston
 

"For anyone with enough common sense to watch him in an interview"

i'm curious - who designated u as the arbiter of common sense? alex jones?
 

Ooops, forgot to mention that the info was only for those with the humility to listen and the ears to hear, not for those who will latch on to popular mainstream characterization judgement to facilitate turning a blind eye to whatever unpleasant reality threatens the comfort zone.

In the conditioned and competitive effort to derail . . .only a lack of common sense would determine that it is NOT about a courageous man named Ben Livingston , but about Jones.
 
My poor choice of words initially
since I'm certainly not the arbiter of common sense
To each his own sense of course.

I guess I'm getting old
Like the old folks I've heard say
Common sense isn't common anymore

anyway . . .

venerate the qualified whistleblowers
like the highly decorated and knowledgable Livingston
Without undermining the vehicle that gave him the outlet
The voice to make known what he knows
Bravely and generosity delivered.

For all I know you don't even disagree
so like George McMichaels on The Real McCoys
I'll just say,
"I've had my say" . :D

By Florida law (and as a result of the 04/05 storms), stations with a minimum number of fueling positions (8, 12, 16, depends on county size) are required to be capable of running from off-grid power. The generators are supposed to be located where they can be connected to the station no more than 24 hours after power failure. Around here (small county) it's 8 fueling positions, and there are 4-6 stations that would fall under that statute. When Hermine came thru in early Sept, I think those stations all remained powered, or they were given priority for restoration.
