Good Luck to all of you in the South East USA, sounds like it will be one for the books. Cannot imagine what some of you must be going through right now and of course after. Hopefully everyone stays safe!

Re: Hurricane Florence
I drove to Jacksonville, on the coast, to do 2 service calls. Hospital there is preparing for flood. Traffic on I-40 was about 5 to 15 mph coming home. I have firewood to boil water for coffee, so I am ready.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen Hawking -

My worry is the giant pine tree 6 feet behind my bedroom window. If she goes, takes out the master bedroom, kitchen and part of garage.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Hurricane Florence
Can't evac with 4 dogs and 7 cats. Ride it out and hope for the best. Gas stations are running out. I got the last propane bottle at the one I stopped at. Drove 10 miles to find gas.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Hurricane Florence
Good luck!! Hope you are in land or on higher ground, sounds like the surge and the torrential rain will create havoc. Hurricane Hazel flooded out some areas north of Toronto by the Humber River after it became a TD. Walls of mud leveled many houses in that neighborhood. A Aunt and Uncle lived through it, others didn't. Of course that was over 50 yrs ago, more warning now, but more population density now as well, and of course the infrastructure for the increase in population. Good Luck to all of you!Comment

Re: Hurricane Florence
I went through the floods here in Nashville in 2010. Some of our customers suffered a total loss... including one where you could see the water-line on the drywall, and it was about 2-3 feet ABOVE their document feeder.
Stay safe out there troops!! We're pulling for you.Comment

Re: Hurricane Florence
I know what many of you out there are going through, went through Harvey last year, back in the house, its still a work in progress, you know all them news stories of people getting out with just a few trash bags of stuff, that was us, water over a foot deep in the house, 3 feet or more outside on the driveway, got picked up in a boat at my front door, and funny thing, I was fixing a cup of coffee standing in ankle deep water, told the wife I need a cup, and all we could do, was try to save what we could get it up to higher places, lots of stuff on top of the water bed, I went through Rita many years ago, and I would rather go through 5 Rita's then one Harvey again.
Nothing worse then slogging out memories and belongings out to the curb, and watching scavengers going through them later, don't know what bugs me more, that I had to toss all my stuff, or people going through all that water logged crap now..
Anyway if your in the path, and you can get out, I'd say get out, I have rode out a few, Like Rita, that was a ride too...WOW...wont do it again.Comment
