I don’t remember - it was 2-3 years ago. I ordered them on amazon. My son said it was enough of a power bank to power several computers at a conference he was at where there were no outlets at the tables….

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (Psalms 107:23-31)
Question to all:
I understand that during/after a lightening rain storm their is increase in ozone in the air wich makes people fee happy & energized.
Does the hurricane create an increase of ozone that is being distributed by wind layer of the atmosphere as far north in Jacksonville? EVERYBODY, as far north as Jacksonville is out WALKING & I rolled down all my car windows only later afternoon started to lightly rain off & on! :)
They might be as they sell them on Amazon.
I’m inland but this one’s bad...

It’s the rain that’s going to get us. We’re starting with thoroughly saturated ground, now our local guys are saying add roughly 2 FEET more rain. Apparently it’s slowed down again. It was expected to be very bad by now but they’re predicting the worst will start around 2 AM. Here in Orlando we can look for 60 mph sustained with gusts up to 80. For several hours. Tornados are popping up here and there- very localized and typical.
We’ve had heavy rain since around 8 this morning. Our condo parking lot is covered in water. It’s blowing like crazy and we have many beautiful old oak trees at the end of their life span, making them vulnerable to this weather. Like the gorgeous one right outside my bedroom window! Our local weather guys keep saying there’s nowhere for this water to go!
These are small and unremarkable problems when I look at my friends in to the southwest.. but we still have to cope with it.
Power off and on- on at present.
Thx for the update as Ian moves into central Florida. I hope my family does better than they did with Irma 5 years ago.
Continued prayers for all those in Ian’s path. I know several in my family won’t be getting a good night’s sleep again.
You have some long hours ahead with the dreaded nighttime hurricane. Sending you all best wishes for safe passage through the storm. Please continue to check in when you are able. Take care, FRiend, eat chocolate, and stay safe.
I’ve got a sister in Windermere - not far outside of Orlando. Granted, she’s a liberal trump-hater, but she’s still kin. So even if I don’t admit it, I don’t want anything terrible to happen to her.
Hang in there - you are in a better spot than others, regarding the storm, and I am too (I’m in Tennessee now days), but it’s still a mess. I’m keeping tabs on a friend in Ft. Myers - he and his family are at his work location in a solid building on the third floor.
💕 Thinking of you all, my dear Florida FRiends!!!
Thank you, FRiend.
Understood. Nasty conditions. My sister, in west Houston suburbs, had water rising up through her yard to within 3 inches of her front porch. It stayed that high for about 18 hours, then receded. No damage in the house, but it was close.
Took 3-4 days to get the streets drained enough to drive out though. They had to roll up their shorts and walk to get anywhere.
OMG…what an idiot but I’m glad they survived his stupidity.
JACKSONVILLE FIRST COAST NEWS
Winds will consistently be gusting out of the northeast. Gusts near 65 mph from 6 p.m. Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday.
For the First Coast: The forecast is coming into better focus. For the First Coast the highest winds will be Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday the rain will begin to build in from the South a breeze the near the coast developing by evening.
As the coastal winds set up, they will push the ocean inland and combine with rainfall of 6-14” to produce flooding. Plan on winds of 25-40 out of the northeast with isolated gusts to 70 later Thursday into early Friday.
The most widespread flooding looks to be from 1 a.m. Thursday to 12 p.m. Friday with a combination of heavy rain, onshore wind, and high river levels about 4 feet above normal. Thus, the threat of river flooding along the St. Johns and its tributaries is possible. The worst flooding will NOT be oceanfront. There will be a risk of rough surf, rip currents, and some coastal flooding though.
