Well FOHAF members I thought that I'd start a thread on Matthew. First and fore most I pray for everyone to remain safe and out of harms way. I just thought that I'd start something that folks could post and keep everyone updated on the storm. I will have to go to work Friday morning not knowing when to return home. I think that I have all orders in affair at the home front, hopefully we're far enough west not to lose power. (We'll see) Maybe folks can post some pictures of the storm.
Bossman,
We're sittin' purty over in the Panhandle for now. Our concern is the number of kin folks in our extended families, both sides, that live from West Palm Beach north to above Titusville, all over Merritt Island and east Orange County, Ft. Christmas and east side of Orlando. I join you in praying that all the folks will be safe. The news reported this afternoon, all the hotels in Dothan, Alabama are booked solid due to folks coming in from Florida's east coast.
We used to just ride 'em out back in the old days. Remember going to my uncle's house for storms as his was the only concrete block house in the community, that was in the late 1940s. Back then we knew a hurricane was comin' but had none of the sophisticated weather reports to keep us up to date.
Hope and pray you and your crew will be safe. That's one thing about retirement, you ain't got to get out in it if you don't want to.
Be safe,
Treefarmer
AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE! I just got my truck AND the wife's car both in the 2 car garage (at the same time) & was even able to close the door. That should ensure no winds over 30 mph here on the W side. Good luck to all on the other coast, stay safe.
Good luck to all be safe
Well the roads are empty this morning and are clear the the moment. This is the calm before the storm.
