Thread: 10 years ago tonight...

as long as the gas supply is there too....worthless with out fuel, and places can't pump if they don't have power....the neighbor learned that the hard way and had to drive a distance to get some, and those stations were packed with drivers wanting fuel
I have a backup but most of the time it is a loaner to neighbors that extension cords won't reach ....across the street

I play unplug and plug in switch to the next after a hour or so,,,,just to keep the fridge's running and freezers maybe a light or TV for the neighbors....I have saved many pounds of food for the neighbors during outages

It didn't get too bad in Montgomery just a lot of wind and some rain. As far as inland goes, Opal was much worse for us. We didn't have power for a week.

Here is the News 5 bit , but I didn't get good sound, Turn up the sound and you might be able to hear parts of it, sorry.

Roy's response was classic. Had my good laugh for the day.

Opal cost me a car I left down there. That bitch filled a Mazda 626 with sand up to the steering wheel. Took me 2 hours to dig out enough to get a tow truck chain hooked to it.
Shoveling wet, packed sand will test your heart.

Just found out that lightning struck pier this evening during storm and knocked out lights and will be closed till 7:00 am on wednesday.

I couldn't hear his response...

I believe he was asked what he remembered from the storm. His response: "Heck, I don't even remember what I had for supper last night!"

LOL! Luv it ;-)

Your response was very good Justin.
If any good came from that storm, it was our new pier!

My family stayed in the motel a couple times and loved it. wonder if that will ever be built again?
