After moving to Florida I conferred with my God and advised that I would prefer to see them land elsewhere.

I am just sick of it!! I have worked so hard for this Saturday's muzzle season... and now this, all my hunting gear is at my camp on Bayou Patout, except my rifles... I left lots of gear on purpose this past weekend, beer, crown, gear, clothes..
I had mud on my docks for Beta too, just sick of it I hear ya! About the only thing worse than too much rain is not enough rain. I live not far from the gulf, and have had two storms within touching distance, and can't buy a rain this year. Yep - all of NM is in drought, our place is on the line between severe, and exceptional - last I looked. We've had darn few semi-normal years since 1999. Even our Raton high country got very little snow this last winter. (Think south-east of Raton Pass, on Johnson Mesa - which the weather folks now call the Johnson Ridge area.)

Was not oil. There is a fuel problem.

The crazy thing is, that in the future, we may look back on 2020 as being a year we wished we were back in...

There is something fundamentally wrong with living in a place with that many creepie crawlies, and on a windy day you have to look UP at the waves. Of course, this from an idiot who lives where the landmass is poised to fall into the Pacific and forest fires have become the number one summer sport.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I suppose it can be made to run, the problem is right now, Lake Charles is still very much suffering the aftermath of Laura. 90% of all the buildings in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake and Moss Bluff are damaged. Getting someone to work on a generator when their house has a 90' pine tree across it is not likely.

Much worse than anything portrayed on the news.

I don’t think that there’s a low oil safety on the Generacs.Did it crater totally on you? Generac does have an automatic oil pressure kill switch but I think the problem is that you are running real hard on low oil pressure before it gets low enough to cut off. It astounds me that folks never check the oil in their cars, lawnmowers, generators, tractors, or whatever. At the rate my wife's fairly new Toyota Highlander uses oil it would be in trouble before the next oil change. I believe the add mark is when it is one and a half quarts down. Doesn't even hold 5 quarts total. We just add a half quart along as it goes down.

Here's a question for the masses. How would you secure the travel trailer? My thought is that it wouldn't take much wind speed to blow it over. I am thinking about running a ratchet strap from the frame to the base of the pole bran legs. I am confident that will help stabilize the travel trailer, but would it compromise the pole barn? I will be retracting the slide in and securing the outdoor furniture.

I will be retracting the slide in and securing the outdoor furniture. Manual augers front and back screwed down into the ground and then strapped around the back bump and front coupler frame. Tractor Supply has what you need. That setup held mine down in Iberville Parish when the eye of hurricane Andrew went right over it. The winds were strong enough to blow the bark off of cypress trees to where they all appeared red in color.

I don't think they consider them a favor at this point... They should send the bad mojo out west, WAYYY out west. Our drought is still on.

Lafayette didn’t get hit as hard as we did in Central La. by Laura, based on visible damage to trees We may get whacked again by Delta. Lake Charles took the blunt of Laura as you know, not sure how Delta’s gonna affect them. They sure don’t need any more of that. Gonna be glad to see 2020 gone. It’s been a crazy year. 2021’s gotta be better. Stay safe DF

JMHO- at 1st opportunity, I'd get a dozen pieces of drill stem or similar and make some steel supports for that shed, or at least add way more wood . Can't tell. Looks like 8 legs total for the whole thing . My porch awning peeled off supports and all and flew straight up about 35 feet and over the house like it was made of paper I'd put probably a half a dozen of the anchors like others posted

No spot is good bit let's hope it takes a turn to the east so those hit by Laura don't get gang raped to bad. Unfortunately that puts NO in the zone, if I'm not mistaken. You guys get ready...

My son is heading to Leeville in the morning to move the boats up the bayou. And my son in law is heading home tomorrow from Lake Charles. He's been out there almost a month working on restoring the power.
