I'm glad you are ok. I have prayed that all members of the Auburn family would make it through the storm safely

We were far enough away from this one to not have any impact. Good bit of wind and rain but nothing really for us thankfully. I have one very expensive palm that is leaning but I can take care of that today myself.
My good friend in St Pete got devestated. Cant get him this morning. He is either finally asleep or out of power/coverage.
People up north got swallowed up by that thing.

Hoping for an ATL cleanse. Been watching water rescues all morning on the Weather Channel.

Heavy, heavy winds and some minor flooding from the outer bands over night/this morning. Lost a grill cover but otherwise fine

Eye missed us to the east by 15 miles or so. Lots of wind and rain, but no limbs down big enough to get the chainsaw out for.
Kiddo just moved to Greeneville and has water in basement and tree down on porch. It's a Monday problem, gotta get to the Plains!

Anna Maria Island is totally destroyed. 88Tiger is closer to that than he needs to be. Hopefully he is OK at his place. It will be years before that place recovers. Not a easy in and out from there either.
Crazy this morning but the birds are going crazy. There were hundreds of dove and wild parakeets in our back yard like it was the last day on earth. One dove got hung up in our feeder and could not get out. I had to pull him out and set him free. Baw was trying to feed like it was a all you can eat buffet.
Not even sure how many of these parakeets can fit on these small feeders this morning. They stayed for a hour until they completely emptied both feeders that I filled up just a hour earlier. Crazy

I have yet to figure out why people live in hurricane and tornado alleys on purpose unless they are on work assignment. Why deal with the heartache? I hope 88 is okay.

My power went out at midnight. It just came back on. I have to check my deep freezer and hope my deer meat and fish didn’t thaw out.

man we struggled with that when we moved here. We moved for the beach life (corny I know) and the water life. We almost signed our lifes savings away on three different homes in 2017, one of the on Anna Maria Island. But didnt
I dont know what force came along and talked us into moving out here 15 miles from the coast but I am so glad it did. We are not totally safe here, nobody is, but we do not have to deal with those coastal problems like so many do. Im fine driving 15 mins to Siesta key to see some sand.

I lived that coast life growing up and as an adult. The aftermath of Katrina made us bail. We were fairly fortunate, but the city was decimated and everything sucked for years. No matter where you went, no one was smiling. Everyone was pissed off, and it was unrelenting.
Glad to be inland, but man, I do miss the water, fishing, sunsets...

Loading up, heading to AU!

Taking it easy this weekend. Watching the game out by the pool while grilling some chicken and killing some drinks. War Damn! I got a funny feeling we surprise Okie tomorrow.

Can’t speak for the tornado portion
For the hurricane areas, it’s a balance. Always warm, can go to the beach 80% of the year. No snow or any other winter weather
Even if we have 3-5 hurricane or tropical storms a year, it’s less than 1% of the time. Just my thoughts. Nowhere is perfect, but it’s not so bad near the coast IMO

I hate the beach, so it's an easy decision not to live there. I hate vacationing there. Yall can have it.
Tornados are a different story. They are such a small window of destruction. Lived in Alabama my whole life and have only been close once. Now, you couldn't pay me to live in NW Jefferson County by the river.

I hope you don’t take offense, and I don’t think you will. I’m not at all surprised. Never got that impression from you.
I have friends that love the outdoors that I couldn’t pay to visit me. They have activity interests that just don’t align with what we do

Vacation some on the best type of sailboat (not mine) but I live for elevation. As in climbing and creek boating. The things you can do with some loss of verticality and you don't need a motor once you get there. Strategic loss of equilibrium is a pure thrill.
Tornado's demand respect, we go out to the steepest flooded creek's we can find, and that means driving though the aftermath. Over and over, and ... I wouldn't be much of a storm chaser. Can't imagine the miles of destruction from a big hurricane.
Sorry... we had three carloads take the day off. Then all the water stayed over yonder.

plus, 96 was taken advantage of as a kid and has issues.
