Remember that bitch a few years ago?

Looked a lot like this. Maybe not as far south.

The last derecho left me without power for A WEEK. As it was, I had to chase down the Dominion Power crew since they missed my street.

And, the County did nothing. They would not even keep the libraries open as cooling stations. If we have another disaster the entire board will be voted out of office.

Funny thing how Sharon Bulova had power back on within hours of the storm.

Got my 6K Honda Generator that I bought 5 years ago ready to go. I have 50 gallons of gasoline, and my two cars + two trucks filled up as well.

The 3 chain saws are set up, and my firearms are cleaned, oiled, loaded, and waiting for the dark of night to bring on it's unexpected visitors.


Don't forget your bottled water, and fill up the bathtubs!

Well, Tomorrow morning, I'm filling my gas can containers (total 15 gallons), which is enough to run a generator for a few days. If no requirement after the hurricane season, the gasoline will go in the car before it goes bad. :-)

Did anyone actually look at the fucking radar? Whatever it will be, it will effect folks several hundred miles south of here.

Run on the stores! Fill up your cars and your gas cans! Stock up on plywood!

Jesus people!
