Just saw some weather reports ... Hope everyone is safe​ ...

We dodged it yesterday. All clear today.

We had a severe weather alert but nothing happened around here.

The weather is fine here; in fact I can’t remember the weather ever being much better.
Gary, boat or no boat you gotta get down here in the warm sun.

I agree, John - I need warm weather and sunshine more often in my life. It will cure what ails ya.

Anyone hear from chas? I heard the Atlanta area got hit pretty hard ...

In the process of replacing my roof which was damaged in the storm. Ins. Co. has authorized 21k and change but my roofer's estimate is higher but claims Ins Co will cover with supplemental claim when work is completed. Bummer, as roof is only 8-9 yrs old, but the current 75mph shingles will be replaced with 150mph shingles. Damage was not that extensive but replacement was approved (rather than repair) mainly because the current shingles are discontinued and couldn't be matched. No other damage to the property though, so I guess I got off lucky. My motorhome (in storage facility) was also not damaged although it was parked between two large boats that were mildly damaged. Tremendous damage in other parts of the county and in the Atlanta area in general. Hope everyone else got through this okay. Gary scoffs at 'climate change' but damn, SOMEthing is going on.

BTW Tony, thanks for asking.

Climate has been changing steadily for millions of years and will continue to do so!
It's strange but we seem to have a storm every Easter. Tornado hit our home and neighborhood two Easters in a row, and this one nearly missed us.
I'm glad to hear the damage wasn't worse Chas! Our damage on the one tornado was close to $80,000, and we were one of the luckier ones.

Nothing here, for a change, though the weather lady predicted 2 inches of rain and high winds for last night - it never happened. Yesterday, it was only 59 degrees, windy and damp, while today, the temperature is already up to 74, which is much closer to my comfort zone and age.

Glad you dodged the big bullet, Chas. We installed the 150 MPH roofing shingles when I saw the 75 MPH shingles standing at attention one day with a 50 MPH wind. That was nearly 20 years ago, so I guess they must work, because they're all still in place.

Stay safe,

Gary

THINGS can always be replaced, chas, as you know ... glad to hear there was no personal injury ...
Stay safe and well ...

I need to apologize, I made light of the weather before I found out how bad were being hit.

My wife and I stayed at home for two hurricanes here in Florida, it was freighting.

True, and people have also been dying for millions of years (and will continue to do so), but that doesn't mean I want to speed up the process (especially for myself ). As far as 'millions of years', it's highly unlikely that we (humans) will still be around. .....which begs the question; if the planet and/or it's inhabitants are no longer in existence in a few million years due to some cataclysmic event (asteroid collision, solar super storm, black hole encounter, global nuclear war, etc.), will those of us that made it to 'Heaven' (or the other place) still be around? will they still remember earth as it was when they departed it (several million years ago)? will the Audya finally be completely debugged before the end comes? Will anyone live to see the day when the JAZZ Music Awards will have replaced the Country Music Awards (I doubt if even God can see THAT far ahead)? Well you get the drift; lots of unanswered questions. Oh well.

HA, HA!

Chas, in the grand scheme of life, you and I will be gone in the blink of an eye. No worries.
