  1. That does not sound fair but most people who try to break their roof end up not being happy. Some prosecutors go for the felony now.
  2. It will raise his municipal water bill for all the flushes.
  3. They are getting good at stopping scams. Floridians have tried it all and the insurance companies know what to look for.
  4. So do we. Sky high prices. My roof area (not related to the house size) is 2300 sq feet and decent shingle job will be $13,000. I have no damage to try and get insurance to cover it.
  5. I should have used the word HVAC system although in my case it is just air conditioning as our heat is a mix of oil and electric and does not go through the ducts.
  6. You probably just needed the outside unit then. Our outside unit is 30+ years old so the whole system (not the ducts, but the blower/air handler upstairs) would need replaced.
  7. We got a full AC priced last year (not dead yet) and it was $12,000. As much as a roof!
  8. Early 12Z's are pretty dry even for Sat. 3K has some activity this afternoon but less on Sat. Sat night and Sunday Early AM has some action.
  9. The HRRR shows a moderate level today (we are in a Code Orange as well) buy the piece of energy rolling through later this morning/afternoon helps usher some out....but still some smoke Sat, just not at the level shown below.
  10. It seems to find whomever complains more.
  11. Sixers are working Harden to find a way to get under the Cap
  12. Not much support for Friday rain on the Mesos's or Globals at 12Z. Better chances later Sat into Sunday. The PA split shows up on both the GFS and CMC:
  13. We travelled over to Panama City quite a bit. It was just 15 min away. That was outside the old canal zone and more like a typical city...good and bad. We were there when the transition from US control to Panama control started and there were some ugly anti-American situations in the non-zone areas. Have to be careful when typing canal zone. One missed c and all of a sudden you are in Deliverance.
  14. Panama is a favorite landing destination for US Expats (though Mexico is as well). Many people there owe their lifestyle to the former canal zone, and they treat Americans well.
  15. Panama is not Mexico. But I meant no one in my family. Ha. We were in the canal zone as well. Probably safer there than the average street in any large US city.
  16. AC was not too common back then...at least not in homes. When we moved back to PA in the 80's we still did not have AC in a house that is worth 300K on Zillow right now (Ac since added, just not a slum). Our bodies were used to it. Sleeping was the toughest thing. I have friends from Brazil that keep their house "below 90" re: rarely turn on their AC, and they say they get chilly at night sometimes.
  17. Ha. We got our a few years before he officially came into power.
  18. We truly are getting less tolerant to heat as almost everything is conditioned now. I lived in Panama for 3 years and had no AC at times. 85/80 at night and 105/85 during the day. It sucked but no one died.
  19. Sounds good. People used to go to the mall when their AC broke. Ha. This will prepare you if you get stuck in Orlando after a hurricane.
