Godspeed Brother. Hold fast for about a day. Great advice. A lot of people are gonna be effected and they will all want to "check on their stuff" asap. If you're in the highly effected area, it will be days before you can get in (or out). Roads will be blocked by debris, bridges may be out, roofing tacks will be everywhere, power lines will be on the ground. There will be no services, no gas, no food for a while. Expect things to start moving in about three days. Just be patient and be safe. There are a lot of hurricane virgins that going to have a tough time with this one.

Hope you guys all make it okay.
People ask me "Teal, why do you live where the wind hurts your face and you have to shovel snow in April and shorts are a 3-5 week season?"
This - this is exactly why. No poisonous snakes, no deadly bugs, no lizards and no hurricanes.

I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Cold hurts. A lot.
On another sad note - the aircraft keep turning back due to issues. It's sad to see the state of our equipment deteriorating right before our eyes. Our government and now our military are not inspiring a great deal of confidence.

Geno Jr. is meeting me in Union Springs, AL with a generator and a window unit. I'll be gone for 6+ hours. AF301 looks like it finally made it out of the core they were stuck in. They are pros at this. 144kt (166 mph) flight level winds at the weakest portion of the eye they went through. Probably no more recons into the eye before landfall, getting dangerous with the intense core being so close to shore. A ton of lightning to deal with makes it tough to get out sometimes. Ian has an extraordinary amount of lightning. Pressure down to 932. Still intensifying with almost half of the storm on land.

This damn thing is going to cause truly catastrophic damage. Record breaking. Sucks for those affected. Hopefully loss of human life is minimal.

It always baffles me when people don't know what elevation they live/work at. Huh? Seriously? It is important for many many reasons. Use this map. Find your location and it will let you know what to expect. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/100939.shtml?inundation#contents

The only time I ever gave 2 chits about my ele at work/home was to tune carbs for the snowmobiles. Has zero impact here otherwise.

I once live in Bonita Springs, weather there did not suit me and way too many people. And at 10 ft above sea level not safe. Even at age 65 I like colder weather and no crowds. I hope the best for those in areas impacted whatever they chose to do. i live at 659 ft above sea level
