Break in the action, any hurricane updates? I hope everyone is safe. My grandson is in Port Richey, FL. I worry.

Looks like it jigged a bit toward Port Richey, Blueboss, but hopefully not the very worst of it. They all prepare well for these things, so I'm sure they'll be OK, but I'll say a little prayer for them anyway!
Here's radar from Port Richey. Brother in law and nephew and their families live in Tampa, and said windy, rain, but they still had power. Attachment 10935
Thank you!! I love me some Cartwright family prayers… they just checked in with me. So far so good, they’re on the backside now and still have power. They’re getting better at these things.. for me and my experience when I lived down there was always the aftermath, and not the storm itself. I did see a stop sign, pole and all fly down my street during David back in the day.Quote:

Not to minimize the power of this storm, but the weather channel is just short of using “biblical devastation” in their reporting.

Now I’m worried about the backside surge…

Hope everyone one is safe, and avoids property damage as it tracks north.

Brother-in-law in Tampa had some of his neighbor's tree limbs and such blown into his yard. Said he picked up two big bags of it this morning. Other than that, no issues. Did not lose power.
I know not everyone is that fortunate, and I've already heard 8 died, millions without power, and immense damage in Taylor County, and it could have been worse but for the fact the eye made landfall in a sparsely populated area.
So far Tampa sounds better off than Lexington. All we are getting is some wind and steady rain and yet we're losing power, lights out, trees down, etc. Not a disaster by any means, but more than I might expect from rain and some gusty but hardly tornado type winds.Quote:

2” since midnight in Louisville with another 1 1/2 to 2” forecast before it quits tomorrow night. We’ve been pretty lucky though.
…and the clean up begins. At least they’re safe.

My wife said it hurt my daughter’s feelings that every time she practiced piano I would turn away.
She was right. It was time I faced the music.
I’m terrified of elevators, and I’m taking steps to avoid them

I was frying some Canadian bacon this morning and it kept curling in the pan.
So I took away the little brooms.
Here’s another classic from my grandson…
Grandson:
Papaw, what do you call an alligator with a GPS?
Me: I give up.
Grandson:
A navigator!!

Pray for me as I am going into the heart of enemy territory.
I "won" two tickets to the UofL / SMU game and while I could have declined them, it is kind of an appreciation for going above & beyond at my job and I saw it as an opportunity to go with my son-in-law who is a devoted fan of UofL.
Of course i will be rocking my UK polo. It should be an absolutely gorgeous day for some football, just have to have S-I-L drop me off at a full service carwash afterwards. ;)
Good luck to you Pappy. My journey is much safer than yours today. I'll be wearing Tulane gear at UAB.Quote:

It should be a good, close game Pappy.
After the loss they’re going to be drunk and mad. After the game, keep your head down and don’t make eye contact with anyone in red. When you get home burn all of your clothes and take a shower immediately…you’re in my prayers.Quote:
