acem Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Looks like hurricane idalia will hit the big bend of Florida pretty hard. My brother on a barrier island near Tampa is getting tropical storm conditions now. Two hurricanes in the same pic. Sister's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Minded Farmer Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Still anticipated to be a Cat 4 by morning. Top half of FL is under a tornado watch until 6 AM. My best to those folks. It's going to be bad. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFixEmUp Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Our oldest son and his wife moved to Charlotte NC this spring from Fargo. Son #2 and his girlfriend are supposed to be leaving Friday to visit them for the weekend. Watching the Weather Channel isn't very encouraging. Looks like the storm is a big one, but should go NE over South Carolina and west of the storm gets heavy rain. They are flying to Chicago then Charlotte. I told him they might be spending the weekend in Chicago. Planes won't fly into a hurricane. I'll take a blizzard any day over a hurricane. 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 My brother lived in Pace in a mobile home on the panhandle. He once used his 18 wheeler and a tow chain as an anchor point to keep the MH from being blown off its foundation. Still took down a 125 YO oak tree, that took some ingenuity to get into pieces small enough for burning. One thing about a big Florida blow, it creates a lot of free wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafarm49 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Was checking on the chickens when Micheal came through and saw a section of roof raising up about 2 foot. My face got blistered driving the backhoe in the driving rain. We saved the house 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
