I see in today's breaking news that although it weakened down to a storm it regained JW>> strength over the open water and landed again as a full blown hurricane after all. yup and i have to go up to SC next week for work because of it lol RH> We got 2.6" of rain from Friday morning to Saturday afternoon. We RH> actually got off easy in this area, this time. We had a power flicker RH> but it didn't go out. We've got some canned goods and other non RH> perishable foodstuffs that could have been loaded into the camper RH> quickly, had we had to evacuate but didn't, this time. Hurricane season RH> ends at the end of November so we've still got a couple of months to go. i maintain the weather stations for a few of the local counties over here on the east coast and central florida (volusia, seminole, orange), most of orlando got around the 26-32 inch mark, a lot of places around by me weren't far off it either after all is said and done. My weather station on the beach in daytona had 780mph winds and the highest gust I saw was upwards of 100 miles per hour off the top of my head. unfortunately now, everyone wants things fixed yesterday - as if i didnt have enough work to do lol.. that said... the weather stations my collegue has down in fort myers where he lives (he's ok) they had sustained winds of 100+ with some gusts upwards of over 150mph (the wind sensors are only rated at 155mph). and a lot of them are still up now.. there was a number of them that are still there, but have spotty power and network access obviously. regards === Charles Blackburn The F.B.O BBS 21:1/221 618:250/36 bbs.thefbo.us IPV4/V6 DOVE-Net FSX-Net MicroNET USENET --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux * Origin: The FBO BBS - bbs.thefbo.us (1:135/395) .
