The latest has the storm moving across the northern tier of SC, won’t be able to head back east for an extra day or two.
I would go towards Florida and play some jai alai. You bet on the games, you clean up.
She has my sympathies in that 26 traffic.
Other than being concerned about heavy rain and wind, I think I’ll fare OK here in Columbia.
The ground here is so dry and we could the rain but not in such quantities as predicted.
I’m south of you in Aiken County near Augusta, GA.
I expect we’ll be ok. My fear is not flooding; water would have to be three or four feet deep before I’d be affected.
My concern is power. We’re 100% dependent on electricity out here in the country. Any lengthy interruption is going to be a trial.
Power is my main sweat.
No generator.
Considering how all the appliances in the new pad are anchored, running cords isn’t practical anyway.
One of the longer term plans for this place was to at least have a manual bus transfer for a generator to get bare minimum. Those portables aren’t the cleanest power but would beat nothing. I’ve got more stuff on UPS batteries now.
The end game is a standalone generator to power normally for long periods.
You need more storage. Get 30 barrels. You can always use it to fill your cars later.
I think you posted to the wrong person, but thanks for the info. LOL
