jeepwm69 7,611 Posted September 9, 2020 When we had our gender reveal, it was in a cake. Blue cake, boy, pink cake girl. You didn't know till you cut the cake. I've eaten a lot of pink cake. I'm with Wilson on the "showers are for women". I had to show up and load everything up when it was over. Wife told me to not be too drunk when I came to get the stuff.

Freedomflyer 1,886 Posted September 9, 2020 Well at this point the count on homes lost in the fire is 23. This is an area that is pretty affluent, so there is quite a bit of property with the homes. So in that sense it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully we'll know more by tonight. My niece's house is fine so we're very grateful for that. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scotticus 777 Posted September 12, 2020 Weather has been unusually hot and dry all summer. Highs in the low 90s all this week. Average temps here this time of year is highs in the low 70s. We did get some more rain last weekend. More rain forecast for tommorrow. Still about 5 inches below normal rainfall for the year. Forecast says highs in the 60s next week which is normal for this time of year here and and a welcome relief. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 13, 2020 Got woke up to phone alerts , severe flooding possible ----- We got another storm coming in at just the right spot to cause a lot of problems , the tide levels are already high and the east wind is going to push a lot more water in , they are expecting it to make a Cat 2 storm and come ashore Monday evening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 13, 2020 got work up by alerts from ham radio about the chance of more flooding with a 70% chance of severe weather..... looks like this front will stretch far enough up north to help with the drought situation in PA hope y'all get some more relief .. up your way @Scotticus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freedomflyer 1,886 Posted September 13, 2020 Sorry to hear about the possible flooding down your guys way. Weird stuff going on all over the place. Final count on houses lost as far as I know was 29. Fire is still burning and is 68% contained. Hot spots all over the place but not threatening any homes right now. Burning on the other side of the mountain and they have road closed to through traffic so can't go see how things look. Have heard it doesn't even look like the same canyon, very sad. Will be praying for you guys and the flooding issues, that's scary! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 13, 2020 @Freedomflyer thank you... I'm used to the flooding better even the land here has been shaped due to this type of weather for 100's of years .. which, I've always been fascinated of.. etc caves ... wet weather springs over size creaks ... help with quick drain.. off.... what really bothers me is when the dry season starts ...sense ... we get so much growth ... there's much more a danger from wild fires .. so far over the last few years it hasn't been all that bad ... fires tend to brake alot along the I- road ... from flat tires ....(steel rim against pavement) and people tossing cigarettes ... out... instead of using that famous invention THE ASH TRAY! soinds like things are getting better out the for y'all .. sure am glad to hear no more homes are n the threat area.

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 14, 2020 the flooding was much worse then i could have expected .... numerous houses flooded, people trapped in cars, many swift water rescues, roads completely washed away ...multiple wrecks, and road closures, ....... just a bad day here from the floods... my thoughts, and prayers for those affected .. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 14, 2020 Ride Sally Ride , she is coming right for our house , I might get to look up the eye of this one , when I was a kid and we lived in New Orleans Hurricane Betsy went right over New Orleans , I remember we went outside and looking up thru the eye , it was wicked , calm lasted about 15 minutes , then back to round 2 ----- there are predicting about 85 mph winds , the storm surge is going to be high on this one , any where from 7-12 ft , they say there are 25-30 ft waves out in the Gulf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
