Having been through two major hurricanes in the past six years - Rita and Ike - I know what can happen. Batten down if you are in a safe place, evac if not (although it's getting kinda late for the latter). Stock up on non-perishable food and water, batteries for lights, gasoline, and camp fuel if you have a camp stove. Some parts of Houston were without power for four weeks after Ike....good luck!

Lost power at 1:20 pm. Not sure why as the wind isn't strong yet. Waited a while then hooked up the generator to all the important stuff - computer, tv's, refrigerator, freezer, and beer fridge - good to go!

Be safe everyone. I was working in the Gulf when Andrew went through in '92.
Best wishes to everyone out there.

ABC News says 9 confirmed deaths so far, 800,000 without power.

I have been keeping a close eye on the Dominion power outage map So far, all I have had were milisecond power blinks, no outages. Chuck, If the need arises, you're all welcome to wait it out here.

Keep safe my brothers. I hope damage is minimal. I'm concerned about the storm surge.

Sorry for the late reply. Power came back on at 9 last night. Now I have to fix the neighbors fence so I can let the dogs out. 2 sections came down because the posts were rotted.

[Chilli]

Glad damage was minimal for you Chuck. Any word from the rest of the gang??

Tunnelvision is in New Jersey about 50 miles inland, but has family nearer the coast. Hope he and his family are ok.
