So I guess it really depends on how the hurricane is moving, where the "direct impacts" are, and if flooding/intense waves are an issue. Trying to understand the severity of a hurricane, haha. Since all we get are EF1-5 tornadoes

That's correct Bailey

So sorry about that Amanda. They arrived during the biys bedtime ritual, so it was delayed even further. Everything looks fantastic and I'll have some pics for you this evening!

I will be waiting!

 

[kingranch2003]

Morning John!
Did you do well with your shipment ?
Pictures please ?

They did great CB! Pics coming this evening!

I've never been in the direct path of a hurricane but I have been in the direct path of a cyclone (same thing just different geographic area of the world) and they are not something to ever take lightly. Because they have a huge path and usually move very slowly they can change direction almost randomly and even 100 feet can mean the difference between no big deal and death. The storm surges bring most of the destruction in lower areas but the sustained high winds can rip apart the seemingly indestructible. Please never take one lightly. Most are lucky but some aren't and I don't want the unlucky one to be one of you.

That's a tall glass of the complete truth, Tom.

I do hope one of those errands is to buy more leopard print pants. (I kid. I am kidding. If this is too much then just let me know.)

So you can double down on it?

I missed the leopard pants dangit....

I was fishing out of Mexico beach fl. 2 weeks before Michael hit, it came ashore at Tindal air force base. That little quite small beach town was destroyed. I went back down 3 months later to fish. The house we stayed at belongs to a friend and it suffered minor damage (close to the Highland View bridge) But Mexico beach is still rebuilding 8 years later

I have been on a rollercoaster of internet speeds for the past 10+ years. Finally where I am at I have really fast internet and it indeed puts a smile on my face

Im here Amanda!

The purpose of this order was to add bright green to my tank. I wanted to contrast with all of the orange and pink I had in there.

So what I thought was a super small trachy about the size of a quarter was actually a big one! It came on a really nice rock base that supports it well and will allow for some nice growth. I am very pleasantly surprised, because it's probably the brightest thing in my tank now. (Dont tell Sweet Lips)

This montipora colony is odd and awesome, it's very bright and has a crazy growth pattern. These were maricultured by Jake Adam's before his death as part of the ACI Experiment.
It's a bit hidden behind the dendros now, but should make for a nice contrast as it grows out.

Then this is just a yellow and green acro that I added last minute. It looks typical, but it's really bright in color and has fully encrusted the plug.

Coralsdotcom did a great job with the packing as always, and the corals survived the delay it seems.

See if you can pick em out from a FTS. Im hoping they pop!
