Florida Hurrican

I was wrong, Skies just opened up to a huge down pour

"Arghhh!!!! Phasers set to kill!!!!"

This was hilarious.  I needed it.

I walked out this morning to see a tree leaning toward the house.  It was hung up on a small branch on another tree.  I walked inside and made a call.  After about an hour and a half, the tree was in pieces on the ground.  They brought in a heavy crane to reach over the house and secure the tree so that a guy in a bucket truck could take it down in pieces.  All of this with wind and rain.  I held a rope a couple of times.  I'M THE MAN!!!!  I have no idea how much this is going to cost me, but it's probably less than repairs on the house.  It could have been worse.  The crew had been removing a tree from a house before they came to us.

Our Saturday gig in the little coastal town of Cedar Key was cancelled.  The cafe's staircase was washed away.  The condo my wife had reserved has no water or power.  We won't be going.

If I have a GAS attack, it will probably be for a new chainsaw.

I've just checked the radar.  More squalls headed your way.  I hope they miss.

Awesome - glad you guys are replacing wind with GAS :-)

My wife is pissed.

The cats didn't say a word.

Its 6:30 am here, some pretty serious rain & constant strong winds all night. I'm in Land O Lakes, North of Tampa & not too worried...in fact I always kinda enjoy the big Storms (not to diminish the damage and tragedy they can cause).
Looks like Clearwater and parts of St.Pete & S. Tampa are flooded. We are getting the tail end of the swirl right now. Blooby & lurker however might have taken a harder hit. Hopefully we will hear from one of them soon.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts!
Check out the Hurricane Hermine guitar I got yesterday. It's a Dean Micheal Shenker model, I love it!
Rock on!

Wow brother, I am so jealous - I never knew they did a Michael Schenker guitar - an acoustic with his iconic black and white flying v. I was a HUGE fan. First band I ever saw was UFO, and saw MSG many, many times. Mrs B said "noooo" with mouth open!! (we went to see MSG together in our youth) :-) A great guitarist, and a legendary drinker apparently!

Here's a blast from the past :-)

It's been a month and I missed this. Ya'll got toys for the hurricane? Damn, all I got was a day off from work because the schools closed. *note to self* _{Self visit the music store when the next storm comes to Florida.}
