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.0 -

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

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."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

Good news, brother.
Now, go shoot some of them looters!"I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis2 -
At least 32 looters have been arrested. It seems the locals are making sure names and photos of them get out. Oh yea, my favorite, one was shot.
These 2 face 5 counts each.
The one on the left should be very popular in lockup.

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.

We made out all right. Some fence panels fell a lot of debris in our yard. Lost power for about 12 hours. But very thankful no one was hurt.

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.

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 allLogistics cannot win a war, but its absence or inadequacy can cause defeat. FM100-55

Looks like a lot of online business is being affected, can't make payments or purchase anything. Well, except for Amazon.0
