Stop being so bossy.

Hey, somebody has to herd these cats. And since nobody qualified volunteered, I stepped up.

as a straight married man I can't think of anyone less qualified to wrangle up some pussy...cats.

Thanks for taking the lead on this.

Check in when you can. Thanks.

We're good. Lots of debris and a little damage to the exterior, but safely through. Battery lasted all night. Hopefully we'll get enough sun to run the house and recharge the battery. Truck is still full, though, so we can also use that power if needed.

Definitely roughest one I've been through in our 18 years here.

Good to hear. What are you hearing about the rest of your area? Is it as bad as the predictions?

Still gathering info, but doesn't appear catastrophic here. My brother made it to his house this morning (right across the road from Sarasota Bay.) Lots of tree limbs down, but his home was spared surge and major damage. I was VERY worried about his place.

I've heard further south (Venice) is rough, and I'm certain the barrier islands were hammered.

We're producing power so I'm making coffee for the neighbors. I'm not the most handy, but I can brew some coffee.

If you need anything down there don't hesitate to give @McDad a shout. He's always ready to lend a hand or 2.

I have some other spare body parts, too, if he wants them.

Oh, I know all about those meaty hands...

Yes but they're surprisingly soft.

Rumor has it ND40 can lend a finger or 2.

I thought he'd already given 1 to some guy named Router?

That was a loaner, he’s got it back and is able and willing to loan again.

I bet during disasters that small things like coffee are really nice. neighbors helping each other is always a good thing.

An insurance claim away from back to normal for you. Glad to hear.

Based on the winds, that looks like a very stout enclosure.

Just don't call ND40. If a router can take his hand, I'm afraid of what other power tools would do to him.

The fact that its still there, and largely intact tells me that its much stronger than it appears to be.

This is interesting to say the least. Hooker is a drama queen contrarian like Adams...but I will check out excerpts from his show if interested in the guest.

What you guys think?

I think that was a sander.

A router would be fairly efficient at taking fingers.
