Update #1,
I've never been so disgusted since I wrecked my Trans Am back in '78. We STILL have electricity...... No trees have fallen.......no sirens..........no phone calls from distressed relatives.............
I just took a walk outside and yea, its windy---big deal---------I got some water droplets on my glasses....woooooooo, I'm scared. I've seen it worse while hunting. Hype, hype, hype from the news.
I wanna see some action. I spent $200 for gas and endless hours of preparation so I want a payoff.
I think I'll throw one of my wife's little dogs outside and watch it fly away. (now, you know better than that)
#2
We finally lost electric. I took a walk outside and nobody has it as far as my demented eyes can see. Windy, windy, windy. I hear a very loud craaaaack across the street and then a thuuuummmmpppp. Well, better my neighbor than me
Then............bright lights across the horizon....transformer blowing maybe. So............I waltz back home and hook up the generator and found a new problem. Trying to get this FIOS stuff up and running ain't for a guy like me who still lives in 1910...........but I did and here we be. I'm going to bed--pics tomorrow. Final Update,
fizzle...........fizzle...............fizzle............nada
This picture shows the damage I sustained. I've seen more action during April showers. Others have not be so fortunate. I count my blessings and hold dear gratitude from our Maker. I have been hearing sirens all around me, along with more flashing lights (whatever they are). I'm gonna jump in "Ole Yeller" and take a cruise. Besides, gotta have my WaWa coffee.-----------------Sixgun ***ACTION OVER***

How about this-----This hurricane thingy is pretty exciting news---you know, its cool to talk neat guns and loads, etc, but we all need variety in our lives............so.....................baby, here it be!!!!
As we all know, this east coast hurricane is unprecedented. We are taking a direct hit for which our infrastructure is not designed for, unlike Florida, etc. The record ocean surge is 9', recorded in 1962 and this is supposed to beat that. New York and Philly subways are expected to be flooded and as we speak, Republican supporters are leading Obama voters into these subways for protection from the storm.
I took my first picture a few moments ago. My little pond out back is already flooded over and its not supposed to get nasty until later tonight and tomorrow. I know I'm gonna lose the bridge but thats why they make tractor loaders and there's plenty of dirt. I have little to no fears as I've been prepared since I was a kid.
As the storm progresses, I'll update to a new number and as we all know, fellow Easterners like Hobie, 6 Point, Tycer and CAS need to help out with the pics. (CAS, I hear you guys are really gonna get slammed)
I'll start this off by saying the guns in my other post (Ravens/Bersa, etc.) are imaginary and I do not own such junk. My little buddies (Winchester & Colts) are safely tucked away in the basement.......a very dry basement with a water purge system if need be.
First pic is for Gobblerforge.He's got the anvil!
My little pond which only floods once or twice a year is already flooded------good bye tractor/horse bridge.
