Rain starting to pick up here along with some wind and occasional gusts, but nothing too severe yet. Seems like the forecast is less intense than from yesterday, so that is good. Depending on what things look like I might try to get down to the beach at high tide to see how high it is and what the surf looks like. I have been involved in a lawsuit regarding development on the beach and we are hoping it gets a good rinse to demonstrate how futile it would be to build out there! I went out on the bike yesterday and got about 250 "baseline" pics so will get some "afters" too. Power still OK, I hope nothing hits the line coming down the driveway and knocks me off. Power still up so that is good, the dogs are totally ferklempt. Last night I put them out about 9 and they were going insane barking at something. I got out to look and there was a white dove sitting on the porch roof that was making them crazy. The bird was just sitting there, rain was starting a bit. Weird. i wonder if it was one of those birds raised to be released at events and was too stupid to know what to do, or it got blown here from somewhere. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass
You are really living right. Our power went out around 10:30 last night. Then about two hours later one of the trees fell across the power line and pulled it out of the connections at the house. Probably won't have power for more then a week. The individual house power connections are at the bottom of the list. Other then that not much else other then a lot of cleanup to do.

Surprised I didn’t even lose a shingle on my nearly 20 year old roof. East of here did not fare well and got a lot more wind than we did.

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass
Thanks! Yeah, that’s not my mayor (I live in unincorporated Hillsborough County, not the City of Tampa.) Bob’s a good guy - I eat lunch with him every once in a while as I work a block away from his office. His job sucks, as no matter what he does if there’s much in the way of water the whole downtown gets flooded. Our headquarters and network core are in a 28 story building downtown. With the expectation that power will be shut down, we shifted everything to our “hot” DR site on Saturday. All of my systems were powered down in an orderly fashion Sunday morning and power removed from the building. As soon as we get the all clear from the utility company and power is restored we’ll start bringing everything back up. And then the disaster recovery debrief starts and we have lots of work to do… -D > On Sep 11, 2017, at 7:58 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > wrote: > > Glad you guys fared well.

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass
Glad you guys fared well. I watched a phone interview with your mayor last night. He sounded pretty confident that the city was prepared for the worst the storm could dish out. You personally were prepared well too. We can all take a lesson from that. Again, I am grateful you guys are okay.

Re: [MBZ] All Things Must Pass
Yeah, I think you can take the “mostly” out of that. We escaped it, for sure. I’ve seen more damage around my neighborhood from strong summer thunderstorms. Thank you. -D > On Sep 11, 2017, at 7:42 AM, Dwight Giles wrote: > > Glad to hear you mostly escaped Irma. > > Dwight Giles Jr. > Wickford RI ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
