  1. Kevin’s lawn starving for rain and we got 12” here in 24 hrs with more to come due to a stalled cold front.
  2. Tree/wire down calls starting to pour in IJD area
  3. Wagons west? Kevin still with water tanker deliveries for his well on that run!
  4. Fire fighters in Thompson (near Ma Line) have been working the same 5 acre brush fire since July, it’s deep in the ground and breaking containment
  5. Weird that all of MA is under a Red Flag warning but N CT Is not?
  6. Fall Brush fire threat a real concern especially with breezy conditions today and no rain until at least Friday. 100 acre fire earlier this week across from IJD
  7. We have a TS watch here now and breezy/squally at the moment. One other trait S FL offers from South of Lake Okeechobee is the moist Everglades and depending how hot and wet if a summer we have had it can be a great potential fuel source for TC
  8. GFS/Euro show that wave coming off Africa near DR; of course being 10 days we will see if there is any consistency. Having generator inter-lock installed right now
  9. Arrived in Sanibel this afternoon and a balmy 97 at the coast; Steama!
  10. If that ridging is in place in the Canadian Maritimes there are not going to be a lot of recurves
  11. Wasn’t there a storm in the 11-14 range and we were forecasted to get 7” and I woke up to 20+? I remember waking up at 2am to 7” and it then Snowed 3-4” an hour until like 7am
  12. I took these while working recovery in the Pan Handle; we were setting up in the Mexico Beach Public Works yard, 3 blocks from the beach and the water line was 7ft in their garage bays.
  13. Tornadoes in Middletown, wild fires in Bigelow Hollow from the drought
  14. Dropping down now to your summer place
  15. Reminds of the training event earlier in the summer that flooded Norwood and Northbridge
  16. Correct, codes changed in 2006 and you can buy “Dade Rated” (Dade County) windows, Doors, and Garage doors
  17. After the Hurricanes in 2005 I believe FL mandated that all new gas stations must have fixed generators and after Irma all long term facilities and nursing homes must have Generators. The state of FL promotes having a Hurricane/Disaster plan and kit ready and does a tax free week just before Hurricane season to buy Hurricane related supplies tax free. Many people bust on FL for different things and rightly slow but the have their shite together regarding storm prep and response
  18. Below are examples of some of the improvements Florida Power and Light has done down here in S FL; changing out many wooden poles for cement to help harden the grid.
  19. Lack of rain and tree damage bring on an increased summer brush fire threat
