Made it though with minimal damage, few trees down and power out with lines down on the ground Gen power for days coming up I'm sure.
The smoke house / bar stayed strong even with trees going down around it. Hurricane tested, ended up coming right over us instead of way to the west.
What I was thinkng. No power.
Apparently, as of 9/12/17, 98% of the Sebring, FL area is still without power, but there are videos posted on YouTube showing how the area looks as of 9/12. Mobile homes and manufactured homes took a big hit. Foundation structured homes and businesses appear fine in the videos. Al probably doesn't have power yet. Wishing him and Judy the best. Hope to see him on here soon.

Praying thats all it is.
I "zeroed in" on that and it just cracked me up. Seriously though, I hope he and his wife are okay.
I'm not sure about Sebring, but my mother-in-law is reporting no power, groceries, gas etc. in Naples.. Hopefully he's outside smoking up all his reefer meat for the neighbors. I can't imagine what that place looks and smells like right now. Hope all is well for for them..

Well I haven't been on the forum much the last couple of days, cause as most of you know this hurricane is bearing down on us here in Florida.
I've been thru a bunch of hurricanes since moving to FL in 1970, but never had one this strong before.
And it seems to be headed straight for us, east coast, west coast or the center of the State, we all are going to be affected.
Right now there is no water or non perishable food in the grocery stores. Most of the gas stations are out of gas.
I have plenty of water & food. A generator, and several cans of gas. But if this thing hits us full strength, I won't have a house.
I have been trimming all the trees around the house & moving everything in my shed, or tying it down.
The Lang is going to have to stay where it is. If this hurricane moves that, then the house will be gone too.
The last models show it moving to the east a bit which would spare me, but Rick (Nepas) is right on the east coast in a 5th wheel.
I wonder if he will just hook it up & take it out of the State.
Anyhow, it's not going to get here for a couple more days, so hopefully it will bend more to the east & just go out into the Atlantic!
I may not be on for a while after it hits, cause I'm sure we won't have electricity for several days or even weeks.
Wish Judy & I good luck guys & I hope all of us SMF'ers in FL come out of this OK.

I'm sure Al & Judy are fine, and the thing he's worried about most is that we are all worried about them.
