We survived Irma also in St Petersburg. 6 screen panels gone from the Pool cage which cost a grand total of $200 to replace so I'm quite grateful. I was envisioning my Magico speaker money disapear like mágico! Mike will be grateful for this too! Lol

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
Good move ,
Can't Imagine that trip in your F150 , thought about it myself but once i saw the eye shift westward decided to stick it out instead of getting stuck on the road. Pilot friends who were running in supplies and doing evacuations had mentioned how weird the hurricane was, powerful near the eye , but barely belting out 70-80 mph 20 miles plus off the eye.
Regards

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
Wow what a horrid 7 days. All safe and sound, no damage. Just got power on, and cable at the same time. Been busy with a chain saw and two Honda 3000 generators helping neighbors. So much flooding from the intracoastal its just unreal.

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
It was about this time last Sunday night when the power went out and the wind began to pick up intensity here. I am sure happy I am not facing it again tonight. I am still settling down emotionally from the experience and the aftermath. You don't realize how wound up and stressed you are until you finally unwind. Phew! I truly feel for the people who have yet to recover.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I spent dragging limbs to the debris pile, picking up branches, raking leaves and small branches into piles, then picking up those heaps and wheelbarrowing them to the debris pile. By Wednesday afternoon my right foot began aching in the tendons on the top of my foot behind my big toe from all the bending and stooping. Thursday morning I knew my right foot was not up to another day of abuse, stooping over several hundred more times, but like the stubborn person I can be I put on my work boots and got to it. By the end of about eight hours I was finally pleased with the acre and a half of lawn around my home and called it quits. The other 16 acres will just have to wait. My right foot was now swollen and throbing, the tendons were inflamed to the point I could barely put any weight on that right foot. I stayed inside all day Friday with my foot elevated and alternated an ice pack on and off of the foot. Saturday saw some improvement but still too painful to walk so I stayed inside all day. Sunday I was limping around but still remained indoors. This morning my foot was no longer as swollen but still tender. I have been able to put weight on the foot today but only gingerly. I should be able to walk relatively normal tomorrow, but I have put any additional cleanup on a much less aggressive schedule. I pushed myself too hard for four days trying to get the area around the house back to normal. Twenty years ago the pace would not have been so grueling on me but with seven decades under my belt I am no longer the spring chicken I want to think I am. I still think of myself as 39 but my body speaks the truth every morning. I am happy to be regaining the use of my right foot. I knew I was pushing it last Thursday morning. By Thursday evening I knew I had screwed up. Hind sight is always 20/20.
I hope others impacted by Irma are making progress back to some semblance of normality. Things get torn up so quickly. Recovery takes a lot more time. God speed to everyone impacted by Harvey and Irma.Dan

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
Hang in there Dan, the seasons not over yet and then we have next year, and the year after. WE are getting too old for this crap. Prepping a house, come home trim trees, rake yard, take prep work down, bummer total bummer. And the wife and I got some crud from the people we stayed with in Ocala. Starts as a tickle in your throat then its full blown, sore throat, major congestion just wonderful stuff. Hope the foot gets some rest.
oh PS behind the house on a connecting road.

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
Chris.......I hear you. I know I am getting too old for this crap. Nothing about these types of events and the aftermath are amusing. It is a royal pain in the ass for everyone affected, some much more than others. It makes you question where you want to continue to live. The coastline of Florida is beautiful when the weather is cooperative. It is ugly, dangerous, and can be deadly when Mother Nature's wrath rolls in. Five or six acres up in the Blue Ridge mountains outside of Ashville, North Carolina is starting to look mighty appealing.
I am walking much better today. Don't plan to do any cleanup today but I am walking again, albeit slowly and with extra care.Dan

Re: Hurricane Irma - uh oh
Norman.......That was a fun read. I have seen snippets of that information in many other articles and books over the years. Being a Florida native I have watched this state go through many changes in my life. Having survived hurricanes in Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando in my youth, it wasn't difficult to make the decision to live in north central Florida rather than south or along the coast somewhere. Although still vulnerable to hurricane force winds here, the percentage of devastating destruction is considerably lower in this location just south of Live Oak. My elevation is 101 feet above sea level, a Florida mountain compared to the southern and coastal parts of the state. It is 50 miles to the Gulf of Mexico and 90 miles to the Atlantic. That much land mass between me and warm open waters serves to reduce hurricane force winds and collapse eye walls. That was part of my thinking when I chose this area for my home. Having said all that, I am still growing weary of cleaning up after these storms blow through.
