FXW176 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thinking the primary concern this time is uprooted trees with the saturated ground. Me too actually. As a side note, I lived in ILM for a majority of the '90s. Before Fran arrived, there was some similar thought that maybe Bertha 'helped' clear things out and damage wouldn't be as bad. Nope, totally different monster. 'Blown by Bertha, ****ed by Fran' is a saying I'll never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thinking the primary concern this time is uprooted trees with the saturated ground. The question is how quickly will the ground saturate to root depth. My ground is hard and dry currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Winds just got a little frisky. Just got finished securing stuff and did my good deed for the neighborhood by checking the drains at either end of the street. Both are pretty clear of leaves. It's not exactly a "tropical" feel out there, either. Raw and chilly with a slate-gray sky. In fact, the sky looks something like it at this time of day on December 18, 2009.

Bob Chill Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 no car Before I had a generator I used a car battery with clip on cig lighter adapter. I could charge my phone at least 20 times. For less than 100 bucks you can buy a battery, charger, and cig adapter. Takes away a lot of stress when power is out for more than 12 hours. Especially when your a net junkie like most on here.

needbiggerboat Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If you have a laptop and an iPhone consider fully charging your laptop as a recharge source. I can get my phone recharged almost twice off my laptop. I have an Anker battery pack, with USB outputs...supposed to give 6 full iphone charges. Have two batteries on my work laptop, and can get 10+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just reached 1.00" rain since Noon yesterday and this precip really is not even associated with the main storm. My soil is saturated even before it begins. Temperature has been steady all day at 45, now is dropping with some heavier rain moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
