Watching the live feeds of the hurricane, doesn't look good. Naples is getting hit with 130 mph winds. I know that at 175 lbs, 115 mph winds have lifted me off the ground before, so if you live in any of those high wind areas, please stay inside. I've had to be out working in those conditions and there is no reason, unless it's your work, to be out in it.
Stay safe.
Good thing your not at your high school weight anymore Tony. Seriously be safe everyone.

LOL! I was 6' 125 lbs soaking wet. I was 135 until my late 30s, then gained to 145 where I was until I ballooned up to 175 in my late 40s. I did get to 185 for a little bit, then broke my wrist and dropped to 170. One of the first big storms I worked in this job 20 years ago, one of the guys came over with 2 big rocks in his hand and told me I better put them in my pockets or I'll blow away on a big gust.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Made it through. Been on lock down since about 730 last night. Had to go out with some of my guys and move about 30 people to a shelter who were staying in a hotel that lost part of its roof. There was a lot of debris and some trees down but not much else. A full assessment wont be done till we get released. I have heard the power is out in my neighborhood. Hope I still have a roof.

Still trying to reach our elderly cousin & husband. They live in Punta Gorda and I believe took a hard hit. To make it worse they live in a trailer and had no time to evacuate.

Survived Irma with minimal damage. Several large limbs off a tree, one damaged a rain gutter and several sections of fence down. Compared to many, we faired well. View from front door when it was over

@Diver43, Great news to hear y'all are safe. I feel the same way, very very fortunate here to compared to others that lost everything from these hurricanes.
If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.
We were half way through the day cleaning up, when I realized it wa 9/11. We had it very easy compared to many on that day. Clean up didnt seem so bad at all

Now, go shoot some of them looters!
These 2 face 5 counts each.
The one on the left should be very popular in lockup.
Good news.
