Perspective is everything. I know someone in south Tampa and she's freaking out right now. Can't say I blame her. Did you get through Helene ok? And of course, did all your computers survive?

Ditto, they're fixin to get hit hard, hope she stays safe. We got though without any damage but we had about 30 trees down. We think the way some are twisted off that we had at least one tornado come through our area. There's a swath through our neighborhood were it is obvious something bad went through by the amount of damage and we are the worst hit. We bought the house because of all the beautiful trees and now there are hardly any left, turns out they were all end-of-life water oaks. We have 3 acres with a frontage of about 300 yards and we have enough debris stacked along the road to fill an estimated 10 large dump trucks. Luckily we had family and friends help with cleanup. Funny while we were cleaning up we had people drive by, slowly gawking and taking pictures.

Sad about the trees, that's a shame. At y'all are alive and kicking though, so there's that.

Was thinking the same exact thing after seeing 30 trees went down, assuming they were big trees. If it was a tornado, thank God it didn't hit your house though.

Dang. Dem country boys know what's up. :laugh: Let's just say after living in Hollywood and Vegas for almost a decade I forgot what that's like. Must be an awesome yard, even if 30 trees went down.

There's your 15 minutes of fame... all it took was a hurricane. :laugh:

Thoughts and prayers for our programmer friends from the Sunshine State (Florida), as Hurricane Milton will be making landfall this evening. :rose:
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
One of my colleagues lives in Venice, FL and the other is in Orlando. The owner (Venice) escaped South to Islamorada and the other is expecting wind damage/power outage but they are boarded up and should be able to handle it. Looks like I get a day off tomorrow! Either that or I will be the only one answering my phone! :laugh:

Not the best time to go see Mickey Mouse. Stay dry everyone in the area. Put your backups in dry bags.

If anyone is curious, there is a Ham network organized in the area that offers free live streaming of their repeater traffic and throughout the storm. SARNET[^] This system is a multi-repeater link that operates in Southern Florida, and at the moment there is a moron with a radio deliberately interfering with emergency communications. Teams are currently out with DF equipment to locate and arrest the idiot.

Lucky to be South of it, getting 40+ MPH winds, no rain. I did put up the shutters. Tampa area still trying to recover from Helene. Kids got hit hard in NC, now back here for the winter just in time for this one. Luckly, they are South also. About 5 weeks ago, I contracted with a tree outfit to trim a couple of large trees. One from a lousy neighbor's tree that hangs over my yard, the other an oak that was approaching my roof. They showed up today, couple of the neighbors assumed that I had called them in because of Milton. Just a coincidence. Glad to have it done though.

Backups? What is that?

Perhaps the good people of Florida should change the branding of their state. One never hears about the sunshine in Florida, only about the bad weather. :) I hope everyone comes through this storm safely.

We're still recovering from Helene! Luckily this one is going south of us and will have minimal impact.

I hope they find it and he gets an exemplar punishment.
