Very, very weird to be watching a hurricane go by and it's cold outside.

Pulled on a long sleeved shirt here too.

The bumpkin neighbors left their full size trampoline out in the storm. It just now flipped and landed on their truck. :::rolling eyes:::

Had a look at the rain gauge when I took the dog out just now. 4.5" so far, this storm

I'm guessing, from the relatively low thread posting traffic, that most of our FReepers in harm's way are out of power for the duration . . .

Have you lost your spare boat or picked up any new ones?

Sounds like you are fortunate enough to live upwind from them.

Oh no! Kind of want to laugh about that. THe first hurricane I ever went through I put "everything" inside -and- figured if a little tape on the windows was good then a lot of tape would be even better LOL. There were 1 inch squares of window to peer through, it was a mess to get off the next day once the sun came up.

oh no. My backyard neighbors have a trampoline set up. I'm not home.
Went to the folks. In a couple hours I'm going back to see what happened.

Sarasota - it's cold out - weird

I wonder if this is the same trampoline:
