Glad you got through safely and are generating electrical power.
I thought it would be an experience to ride out Hurricane Wilma,
but after the second hour of that Banshee like noise,
and fearing spin off tornadoes arriving unseen,
I would have preferred to be working back in a coal mine, even on a “pillar section.”
If Washington is about to create from thin air, 4.7 Trillion dollars,
why not retrofit a fleet of old oil tankers to pump cold ocean water from 300 feet down to create a “cold eddy” at the surface in the path of an oncoming Hurricane?
Ida has demonstrated what happens when a Hurricane passes over a Hot Water eddy just off shore.
A much weakened Katrina left the swamps of western Florida, then passed over another Hot Water Eddy just north of Key West island.
Yes it slowed way down very long stall.
So once was enough? I rode 5 good ones out I would like to make this my last.
I wanted it to be 4 but wife said stay save the 22cf freezer packed with meat add in the fridge, plus was worried about looters, at bay since we had so many during Katrina.
After the Howling for the 1st 6 hours she said Kevin you were 100 PERCENT right, we should have left.
So we know know 2 things that will never happen again. She won't stay and I will never be right.
I did fill the hot tub to the brim added extra chems 2 days ahead. So we have bath water and used bath water to flush the comodes with.
So after the clean up she had a nice hot bath.
Gustav was. It that bad in 2008 but killed power 7 days. Had to run 15 gallons 110 with lead VP on the gen. What a smell
