LOL!!!
Ingtar! You survived Falme!
There will be a large supply of firewood available this winter. Prolly a shortage of chainsaws in the near future.
I see that as the BIG problem. Somebody getting killed by storm surge has advance notice. 10 60ft pines falling on your house, not so much.
Gas and Chainsaws. The road must be cleared in these areas. I hope they are ready.
Good! There’s always another time. At least you’ll sleep better. :)
Ha! If they can find a cab...impossible when it rains. Go figure during a hurricane. :)
LOL - you may be the third person to understand my name in a considerable time as a FReeper. The wind blows, but the wind is neither a beginning nor an ending...
Chocolate graham crackers? Yeah! I got!
Camera’s close on the pier now. Amazing stuff.
There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning....
I bet that pier is shaking like crazy.
You can grill fish on a brown paper bag and not have to clean the grill afterwards. Lay them on the bag with the skin down and when they are done the flesh peels away with your fork. Leave about 1 inch of bag all the way around the fillet and place on the grill.
You can start your campfire with what is left.
bttt
You're so right. Trees grow really tall in some of these areas. I'm pretty worried about the 100 foot tulip poplars surrounding our house. They're poorly rooted trees, and we've already had a lot of rain here in SE Pennsylvania. We can deal with power outages, but trees falling on the house or cars are a problem, to say nothing of the 6-8 inches of rain in our forecast. We've had trees fall on or near the house during Bertha, Floyd, Isobel, and during nor'easters. This time of year, they're in full leaf so the winds will be brutal on them. The generators and chain saw are ready . . .
Remembering Southern recipe night as we waited for Katrina to hit. I have a hankering for Red Beans & Rice. And yes, this Yank can make a mean pot. I lived in the South long enough to be be declared an honorary Southern Belle. :)

Atkins’ article is nonsensical, and he sets off my scientific fraud-o-meter.
