Doug, It is a bit gusty out there tonight so far, but nothing much as yet. We "may" get some gusts to 65 MPH, but the storm is off shore. The one last night was much closer. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard

Dennis, It was a nasty storm alright, but the house came through it. That odd ball water break surprised me. But fixed that ok too. I got the beverage soldered and the limbs picked up. The storm tonight should not be anything near what the one was last night. A wind gage a mile away had a gust of

Pat, Happy to read that you survive the high winds on the coast. Our winds rattle the windows and blow over our 8' metal wind mill in the backyard. Nothing like the winds in your area. This was the strongest winds in my 7 years of living here. Nice to hear that Doug had no trees falling on

Nice report Patrick and sorry to hear about the plumbing issue (nice timing) and antenna pinching by the tree. Yeah, this one caught me off guard and since I'm in the "timber" range of a lot of big pines I slept on the bottom floor. An adventurous night! So, we have some more coming eh? I guess

John, I am still here. But even in the middle of all or this, I did tune across the dial, after I fixed the beverage, and if I wasn't so tired, I would have DXed as it did not sound too bad out here. JOQR 1134 was quite decent around 1300. I am sorry I did not get to the dials, but after all of th

Mike, No damage, other than the mess to clean up. I am fortunate I was home, or else it would have been bad. I bought a new piece for $5.71 from Home Depot and it took 2 minures to replace. But it was something else. More wind tonight . Thanks. It is one of those things about living on the coast.

Patrick, I, too, figgered from your message title that you were, once again, hearing India Geez, that sounds like quite a storm! I'm really glad that you paid a fairly light penalty, after all. I'll bet that you have some neighbors in considerably worse shape. Hang in there, buddy
