Monster Disasters 2017
Sep 7^th, 2017 at 7:56am

Our thoughts are with all those who are struggling with the effects of these recent monster hurricanes.

Up in our area it's massive fires on an unprecedented scale.

We have always been a community that helps each other to be successful.

We are here for you now, even if it's just for moral support.

If your Autonerdz toys floated away or melted......

Just post here when you are able. Maybe we or someone else can assist.

Jaime asked me to post this for him:

Quote:

We lost our cell tower, got one bar when standing on the front porch. Made it through without problems, all safe. Lots of debris. Lost power & water at midnight.

I'm the blue dot, the white line is Irma's path. That was close! Last night I thought Jim Cantory was doing a shoot out in the front yard! We KNEW we were in for a wild ride! Lol.

Please share on the forums. Thanks.

We were out of power and running water for nearly 4 days but were well prepared. "Very inconvenient" is the best description I can give but we are thankful. No one was hurt (except me when a tree I was moving from our road for the benefit of my neighbors - fell on my leg and skinned my shin about 4"). Minimal damage was done to the home, nothing structural.

Our community saw winds gusting just under 100 MPH and the official rainfall measurement at the airport two miles south of us was 11". Some areas of the state were hit MUCH harder (Keys and Naples). Some areas of the S.E. US were hit hard too I learned when we finally got communication again.

I pray for the folks in the Caribbean this week.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! Let's redirect them now to those more in need than I Wink

The Southern California wild fires are still burning. Hundreds of homes lost. Including mine! Life goes on! I still have my family, pets and business, lost everything else. I have good insurance, so we will rebuild. Mother Nature can be a real bitch sometimes!

Sorry to hear this Jamie, I am so glad you and your family are safe, you cannot replace them but bricks and mortar you can.

I have already started, my wife and I had only had this house for about 4 weeks, worked over 30 years to finally get my house on the hill with a view...... Now I can build the house I want, and not the house I bought. Always a silver lining, but I had rather have my family photos. Life goes on. Wink

So sorry to hear about your house. I admire your attitude about it. I don't think I would be able to do the same in a similar situation. So glad your family is all safe and you have each other to work though this together.
