I'm just trying to put a percentage on how often it's beautiful here in the Texas Panhandle. Weather wise, that is.
Today was good. But, your little rainstorm over there might change the jetstream, and it could snow 3 feet in a few days.
Me, personally, I'm like a duck. I wake up, stick my head outside, and dress for it.

You get a lot of weather variety in Texas where you’re at?

Good luck. I think you'll be fine. What out for broken windows.

Thanks. Have the hurricane shutters down. Neighbors are boarded up.

Oh, heck yeah! It might snow in the morning, and thunderstorm in the afternoon.
It's been this way all my life. I've learned, with my job to not trust their computer models, and carry appropriate gear just in case. It's served me well so far.

Hope you'll be okay. So far so good in Broward, lost power around 1am for about 2hrs but we've got everything we need and it's looking like we won't see much here. To quote my brother in law, "It's better to be lucky than good".

You stay safe. First time I've ever seen the water sucked out from the beach to a couple hundred yards. Lotta rain at the moment.

Thanks. We’ll be fine as long as my two big Oaks don’t fall on us.

Keep safe my friend. So smart to have a GenX generator. I mentioned we lost our home in Michael yet that wasn't the worst. Stationed on Okinawa back in the 60's we had a typhoon they told us reached 160 knot winds. Most everyone got prepared by buying a typhoon fifth, a 40 oz jug. Rest assured you're being prayed for & all the folks in Ian's path of destruction.
