Severe Weather Check-in!

JDeere · 08-23-2017, 03:32 PM

Ahhh yes severe weather means I actually get sleep lol

I'm just waiting on the rain, right now.

Degotoga · 08-23-2017, 07:10 PM

Harvey has intensified and is now expected to be a hurricane by the time it makes landfall along the Texas coastline. Hunker down and stay safe, folks!

Blaze · 08-23-2017, 07:28 PM

sigh. And so goes the first responder pager. And I thought we were going to read a book and sleep in. Time to hit the Monsters drinks. Energy to fill sand bags for the hospital. And call Sun Coast to fill the generators. Bummers. Minimal 4 day bag pack to sleep on cots. Phfffttttt!

And so the preparations begin. We're ramping up inland, too. You guys don't keep your generators ready to go at all times? I feel for ya; at least I'm full-time Fire and we have sleeping quarters, but there's not going to be much rest for any of us for the next several days. Be safe out there, brother. Check in when you get a chance.

I just saw where Harvey is forecast be a Cat. 3 when it makes landfall. 😳 Y'all stay safe down there.

😈with all the power outages. And an add on of another generator. We were at 5/8 full. 2. 500 gal and one , 1800 gal. Is cause for top offs. Chuckles. You take care Degotoga! Happy first responding high fives your way! Good news. Everything secured, weather taped, sand bags filled and placed and all battery lights charged. And yeah, I don't fore see much sleep either. Thanks for all your department does! Thanks Clay for your concern! Catch Y'all later

It shows that the hurricane is going to hit corpus Christi. Houston area will get a ton of rain. Been there done that, put up with it since I was 3.

Since you wrote off the hurricane and the attached issues as "been there done that, put up with it since I was 3", your telling everyone off because they are concerned about all the issues associated with this tragedy is mean spirited and hypocritical.

We know you are scared, we know it's really shitty, but don't crap on the people showing you and others concern.

Friends have been texting and calling me since yesterday. I'm very far north and central in Texas so we're good. Harvey is pushing the envelope though and people as far north as Austin are feeling effects of the storm with tons of rain, but we're good up here in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

Hunker Down Texans!

Please check in.

JDeere · 08-25-2017, 09:36 PM

Fine here on my end, just tired of the rumors and fear mongering on social media like facebook and twitter.

Stick to the local news websites folks.

Esme nha Maire · 08-26-2017, 02:38 AM

Hoping everyone affected stays safe over there and that there are no casualties. Am really, really glad we don't get weather like that in the UK!

May deity watch over you all.

I'm awake cause I was feeling warm. The fan I had on wasn't. Leads me to believe the electricity went off. It's super F'n windy out there. I stepped out on the balcony and the lights went out. It was super dark.

They are back on.. And I hear tonando warning for the next 20 min. Just spotted near me.. And just called out my part of the city.

The lights are still on..I'm sitting on the bathtub now.

Good thing....cereal tastes good when you mix two different kinds 😃
