[450] hurricane!

What hurricane? It was only a tropical storm! All wire antennae are still up. 2 M antennais still up as are all the verticals. Took the  6M antenna down Saturday. Generator has been running since Sunday morning. The apple tree in the back yard has about a 20 degree tilt, but appears to be firmly planted. Driveway washed out quite a bit, but the hay bales kept it from a total escape. A little water in the garage and a tiny amount in the basement, not even enough to trigger a moisture detector! We were fortunate that it was only a tropical storm. Wind velocity really drives up the force exerted on stuff. 

However many have suffered greatly as a result of this storm. I count myself as one of the lucky ones.

  All okay here Vinnie, tilted the three towers over pre-storm, so no damage...took less that 15 minutes.  Pushed them back up yesterday.
  Water in the basement has been pumped, but moisture lingers.  Folks aren't so lucky...wires still ripped from the house.  They were just here for showers a few hours ago.

  Glad you're okay.

                          The shed has survived as many years and as many storms as I. The shed and I shall endure. The shed and I are one.

                          They  said on the radio today that the southern half of the state is expected to  endure "hurricane-force winds". While I'm not expecting 74mph+ winds to take out  my antennas, I fear for my friends on the island.



                          Rich and Glenn, are you  guys battening down the hatches?
