  1. I see your point. What gets me is everyone referring to him as "josh" like they are his friends. Some may be i guess, but its still a bit weird. I think riding out storms is important, so people can see what happens if you dont leave, so i think what he does is important.
  2. Here it is. Screenshot from NWS summary of storm. 142 gust near Naples airport. So yes he had gusts around 140. Thanks.
  3. I never said sustained. Naples airport reported a gust to 141 mph I believe and he lives nearby
  4. New Houses aren’t built out of wood in Florida or the Bahamas. Strict building codes. Maybe where you live in Southern Ohio houses are made out of glue, but down there new construction is rock solid.
  5. Videos from the well off people appear to be from Freeport area, where wind gusts likely 120-130 range, which would destroy a wooden house, but won’t do too much damage to a newly built concrete house. These people likely know their house can withstand cat 3 winds and stayed, probably to ward off looting. My fathers house near Naples was hit with 140 winds in Irma and sustained minor roof damage and lost his linai. He could have stayed and been fine, but no power or water for weeks... New construction is solid.
  6. Getting bored of this storm. Ready for some blizzards up this way now.
  7. Mike Seidel seen stretching his hamstrings to get ready for the severe winds. Also learning which way to lean to remain standing.
  8. Bust! Pretty incredible how poor mid range TC modeling is in 2019. From a Miami hit to out to sea in 2 days.
  9. New grass grows slowly in the spring because the ground is still cool. You’ll see some grass in a week, but seeding in spring is often a waste because the summer heat will kill the new grass. You are better off planting in the late summer or early fall. I find that raking the seeds in and covering with a 1/4” of Peat moss does the trick. Keeps it moist and grass explodes, but again, better in late summer when it starts to cool. Need about a month or so before first frost for grass to get thick.
  10. And 4 in the past 3 years...since i moved to my house in Suffolk in April 2015 we have had 4 blizzards, at least one every year, and 2 in 2018...just ridiculous out here.
  11. Lol. Went from November to Remember to 3rd week of December looks good. Some people never learn.
  12. Lithium gets old, repeats same songs. 94.3 the SHARK is pretty good out here, and 90.7 WFUV is a city station which is good for alternative music. I only like the Adam Sandler Hannukah song. Seeing Dark Star Orchestra at the Paramount in Huntington Sat night, love that venue.
  13. Likewise sir. Had some laughs. How bout those little kittens we saw?
  14. This weather blows. Bring back the heat. We only have two seasons now. It's incredible
  15. No only 6". If it's such an amazing pattern it's a slam dunk. Easy money
  16. I'll take that bet. $20 your location doesnt see a 6"of greater snowfall before Dec 1?
  17. People freaking out over models showing blocking in mid-November is insane. New England may even see rain from these threats. We have had great patterns in June, but it doesnt mean it will snow. I dont take any threat seriously until after December 1. Yes, i know we have gotten snow in October and November a few times in the past thirty years, but those are the exception and not the rule. If the models look the same in 2 weeks i will get more intrigued, as of now its fantasy.
  18. No, i havent put my sprinklers on in weeks. We had 9 inches of rain last month.
  19. If it gets below 25 like some models are showing I get nervous. Luckily its been warm lately so the ground will keep things above freezing, other than any exposed pipes and maybe the heads themselves
  20. Need to blow out my sprinklers asap, all the companies are booked and i dont have a compressor. This is bad news.
  21. Peak foliage now. Actually a great leaf season around here.
  22. I worked local so it wasn't terrible and lived right near the train station. But I do like Suffolk better, more to do in the summer, more open space and parks, more bang for your buck
