F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)

Speaking of beer...Haha, what is it about natural disasters that makes drinking beer before noon socially acceptable? During the big blizzard a few years ago my dad and I cracked beers at like 10am while we were shoveling the driveway.

11am, looks like the high altitude wind shear saved our a$$ and we dodged another bullet (cat 1 is a lot better than a cat 3). Right now not much worse than a strong T-storm. A couple of isolated tornados popping up here and there though. Powers still on, less than 15K out of power in VB right now.

A few garage doors blown in and siding ripped off in Sandbridge (Oceanfront area).

Hitting pretty bad here. Power out in most of city. Trees down everywhere

I'm finishing up my first Red Stripe and some eggs. I'm about 30 minutes from Columbia, what's the forecast in your neck of the woods?

Just a reminder regarding power. Just because the power is down in your neighborhood DOES NOT mean the lines that are down are dead. People start hooking up Gen Sets and do not know to shut off the main breaker in their box and the gen back feeds from the generator (to the power company) and can "heat up" the local lines in the area.

lol I guess because you know you're not going anywhere for a while, might as well liven things up!

I'ts funny how when these things hit the first thing guys think of is getting more beer. I have a frig in the garage that stays very cold and full of beer. I still purchased more beer and I can't even get it into the frig because its full.

I did the same thing, bought more beer when I didn't really even need it!

I guess the attitude is if I'm gonna die, might as well go with a cold one in my hand.

She's only a tropical storm right now but I haven't seen winds like this from bigger hurricanes. Guess she got mad I called her a blowhard bitch
