Does anybody have info on Wind farms in Florida??? Did the Wind propellors survive?
this happened in the time of Noah when he was 600 years old.
The clouds broke, and the fountains of the deep were opened up.
I believe that sometime soon the major amazon cloud, the microsoft cloud, oracle cloud, and govt clouds will all break and there will be much gnashing of teeth

no operational wind farms in Florida
The Central Bank Digital Currency will solve all of these problems related to losing electricity.
enjoyed 1 day with out power today. was sort of looking forward to more. but won’t lie: was grateful when it was restored.
Makes sense... If there were any, they would’ve likely been destroyed.
We’ve been without power many times, but the longest was 8 days after Snowtober which was the late October snowstorm that hit parts of Pennsylvania and Northwest N.J. About 16 inches of heavy wet snow on trees that had most of their leaves yet. Hundreds if not thousands of trees and power lines down. Then a 7 day outage after Hurricane Sandy. Both times the woodstove was a life saver, along with the gas generator. If we didn’t have food, well there are way too may deer around, and not to far away is some very good fishing. Never been a Boy Scout, but if my father taught me anything it was to “be prepared”.
I was thinking about when it all gets turned off. I downloaded the entire Wikipedia (109 gigabytes) onto a 128 g usb thumb drive) I also purchased the latest Rand McNally Large Scale Road Atlas 2025 (spiral bound) since there won’t be any online (Google) maps or any kind of online. Just in case I need to “bug out” to somewhere I’ve never been before.
Also have a couple of working CB walkie talkies and a shortwave radio.
I’m not even a prepper!
No power now at my abode, Wind ripped the solid box cover off of my King Ranch , tore ever rivet out. Landed in front of my neighbors front door.
Missed my explorer, her car, and the living room window. One of her angel statues in the back yard got a busted arm. I’ll fix that for her. All in all no major wind damage, but the main power lines look like the got shook loose last night.
Wind farms, not a good idea. I’d rather they drill for oil starting 20 miles offshore. The rigs would help the fishing.
I'm very curious as to how you accomplished that. It seems like a good thing to do.
We lived off grid for a few years. You quickly end up very busy doing the things that being off grid requires and the digital world seems unimportant.
Yes, I am overdue to buy a generator. We lost everything in our frig after PGE power was out for 12 hours in July.
Never mind the earthquakes, there is also the possibility of chicom, islamo fascist or eco-terrorism.
I always tell my kids to carry cash and keep cash at home but they don’t get it. Also good to stock bottled water and canned food. It does not matter where you are in the country.
Digital is finniky. Analog is more forgiving. I no longer have a wind-up clock or watch. I have a gas grill & fireplace — but how long can I survive without the water coming from the faucet? Water pumps (and filtration plants) require electricity to work.
We had very little hurricane prep to do at my home since we stay half prepared for just about anything. I keep about a dozen gallons of water stored away. My pantry has 3 to 6 months of food (according to how many we are feeding). We keep approx 10 gals of gas on site for the 2 generators and I order flashlights and batteries in bulk once a year. We have a couple of oil lamps and extra oil. We have a “BBQ pole barn” with a pit for cooking if needed. And, we have silver change if it got to the point of needing some cash.
As Helene approached, we thought about jumping in the RV and bugging out but then realized we were better off here in the woods near neighbors we know than just about anywhere else. We had lots of limbs down, lost one big white oak (not near the house) and were without power for about 12 hours. We managed fine and could have gone a week or so (we have in the past) before getting to the point of sniping at one another.
As to the dependence on computers in vehicles, both our vehicles are older models and not as computer reliant as the new cars of today. We plan to keep them going as long as possible.
That was when Climate Change began!
