New Orleans - I'll be proud to swim home Thursday.
-
has it started to hit there yet? I thought it was in the atlantic still. i really hope people evacuate this time.
-
good luck to anyone in the area of that, hope you get through it.
-
It's in the gulf right now and the models seem to have New Orleans in the cross hair.

I am in central Fl and am currently getting the north eastern parts of the outer bands. Lightning just hit somewhere outside my house and scared the bajezzies out of me. I'm in the office working in the garage. Raining for about 15 min every 30 min. Just a steady rain since last night. No hard rain...but my 2.5' deep in ground fire pit I just made two days ago is filled with water. We used it the other night. Fun times. All the dirt around its is already washed away. My dogs bark every 10 min from the rumble of the thunder. Sheesh. >:(
Here in Central Fl, we should only get flooding if anything. Of course, low level flooding. Like as in right out side my door level. Each time, I go get my limit of sand bags from the county station. It's only come up once to my garage door...and stopped. Literally stopped at the door garage door.
I'm not even boarding up widows...unless it makes a turn east. Remember Punta Godra Fl? They got ambushed when they thought it was going to just go out into the gulf then it made a right turn.

Good luck Brian and Micheal.
I'm sure everyone has heard this thing will hit 7 years to the DAY that Katrina hit. Crazy.
-
Good luck to EVERYONE in its path. I've never experienced a hurricane, but I can kind of imagine the aftermath. Keep yourselves safe first. Everything else can be replaced. It's hard to offer any assistance from here in Iowa, but you can always ask. I'll be thinking of y'all

We're expecting lots of rain and wind Tues & Wed... Right now the eye may be crossing right over our place here... Hopefully we won't have any down time...

Tance,
Where are you located?
My plan is to tie a bunch of infant floaties to the press and dryer. At least some of the electronics will stay above water that way :).
-
ha, I could totally see somebody doing that. only because you have the lawnchair flying....

stupid question maybe - but could you remove the expensive electronic parts and store in a higher place or a fancy zip lock bag? all that is left is some wire. as long as you had documented where the wires go, its simple to plug it back in. but on the other hand, perhaps that is what insurance is for...
-
Maybe that is why they have their Rino priced as it is on DS.
When insurances time comes... well we were selling it for 32k. ;)
They saw this storm coming a long time ago! :p
-
Be safe, all of you down in those parts.
-
Same here hope you guys pull thru with no damage, our reports has us out of the way right now they say, but to be on our toes.

Heading in from out of town to office. Plan of action: caulk doors and hope we can uncaulk upon return. Looks like 12 hours of a deluge right now. Hoorah!
-
great foam is an excellent sealant for this sort of thing...fyi
the best part is uv rays break it down super fast. in a couple weeks it should come right off.
-
Is that stuff closed cell?
I really don't know, I know the stuff they sprayed in my shop is open cell... closed cell was SUBSTANTIALLY more $$$$$$$!
-
great stuff is closed cell, it will not absorb water. I've heard of a lot of people using this stuff for this purpose
-
I actually remember there being a huge debate on a fishing forum about great stuff being open or closed cell, but I do know that we were getting water in months ago through a hole in the cinderblock and I had great stuffed the heck out of it - water/moisture was still getting in. Once I added some silicone, it's been dry and no more mold growing on the inside of the wall by that hole.
-
the great foam website lists it as closed cell. we had a soft spot in the hull of our old boat, filled it with great foam and it solved the problem. Lasted several years before we rebuilt the boat and the stringers. Then the transom went and I found this pink fiberglass goop that you shove down in the transom and boy howdy did that stuff work like a charm

I'm in Vidalia, so we won't get the worst of it, but the thing keeps moving west, and as you know the east side of the storm is the worst side...
Gilligan do you plan on closing any? As long as we don't lose power we're going to try to keep rolling.
-
Probably depends on what everyone else is doing.
If everyone expects us to be closed then we might as well since no one will come in anyway.
But in reality as long as things are going well... I've got a lot of work to catch up on. I'm hoping this will give me some time to do so. ;)
-
We just went through it in S Fl. I hope it does not get any stronger for you guys. We had it very lucky. The wind was no worse than a bad summer storm. It is wet though. I am in the same house I was the last 4 hurricanes and never had this much water. We have about 8" in back and the streets were 2 - 3' under in some spots in my neighborhood. I have never seen it like this.
We will pray that it goes through quickly and leaves little or no real damage.
Good luck,
Matt

We are shuttin'er down now and sending everyone home. Hope everyone makes it through ok.
-
Really guys and gals. Be safe.
-
High and dry here boys -- we returned all of the snorkeling gear and will continue with the screen printing operation :).
-
Glad to have you with us still. :). And even Gilligan also.
I think you guys would do ok coming up with a tee shirt to sell on line. Some Huricane tees sell for years later.
The one I did for Katrina is still being printed for Internet sales.
