Mine will draw blood if you do the creepy crawly hand towards her ;Wideyed

Same, that shoooot hurts too.

Holy Moly - so sorry bud. . . . Geez. . . . . . Are Our stormes getting more fierce or is it my imagination these days?

I think it has something to do with a warmer atmosphere for the storm to draw power from?...I'm sure @RichtheReefer21 has a much better understanding and explanation of what's going on.

Im no expert by any means. But the jet stream in both north and south hemispheres are dynamic. But the el niño and la niña phenomena that occurs in the pacific drive a majority of our weather patterns. They control the hurricane season, purely based off ocean temps.. theres so many variables that contribute to the conditions across the lands. All over the planet.

A hurricane in the gulf is currently pushing against the north american jet stream. Forcing conditions in the arctic to change as the pressures eb and flow around the globe. Everything is connected in the atmosphere. Like a web in motion.

Thats why forecasting is so unreliable. A huge storm plowing through the carribean causes a monsoon in the Arizona dessert, and causes plumes of moisture to barrel up the atlantic coast, giving way to uncommon supercells through the northeast. As Laura moves north, it will cause a ripple in the arctic that will effect northern siberia's summer next week, pushing arctic air south, which ripples against something else. The earths atmosphere is like a 360° bubble. Never ending change. There is no "norm".

Biloxi still had numerous vacant lots along the beach from Katrina. The things storms take will always leave a hole. It's never the same. I was amazed I could remember some of the things that were missing. Including most of the beach. The thing I found to still be there was the sense of community with the locals. I was very sad to see most of the colorful small homes behind the mansions gone. I will always remember it that way.

First hole is perfect. My arm is dead. I did it alone. Took like 30-40 minutes

@Fin There probably going to be a lot of people like yourself trying get back to town when people are allowed back in. Lots of traffic. You may want to see if you could get a hotel room closer in. Just a thought. Glad you and the wife are safe.

Called quits for the night. Need to make a template for the other one. Got too dark.

Thanks, I am considering this - if I can find one. I have my 85 year old mother with us who isn’t in great health. She lives in her own home. So I have two places to clean up and fix. I would prefer to have her in a place with power so she can stay comfortable. The heat will be awful on her. My wife will try to help but she is partially disabled and has had 6 orthopedic surgeries in the last four years. She is limited in what she can do. I knew I should have had kids. :-)

Looks good, :cool: but shouldn't take that long to cut one hole...allow the weight of the drill to do the work for you...don't hold the weight off the surface and it will cut faster...should take 5 minutes, give or take a little, per hole. A template will definitely be helpful, another trick is to clamp a piece of plywood to the opposite side of the glass that you're cutting, will help prevent chipping as your cutter exits.

Yeah. I was going slowwwww because I was scared. Will use that plywood trick tomorrow!

Oh and one of the plants blew up today and whoever is left in town that is within a mile is to shelter in place because of a chlorine gas leak. I may have said that already. :-)

Guessing it was the Sasol plant. Stock was off about 4% today.

I didn't know your total situation. Your mom and wife's health is more important then trying to get back home.
