Wasn't looking forward to put everything back. Then realized I might as well power wash the area. So now I'm doing two things that are not on my favorites list. But still very happy that we got off so easy.

All I think about is the poor stiffs that have EV’s & maybe won’t have power for maybe a week. That would be worse yet, right?

Our condo unit and my sailboat (attached to a floating dock) survived with no damage in Hudson but the neighbors living in the Sea Ranch area (adjacent to the condo complex) suffered with massive flooding.

Water gage says 2” but because of the gusts it’s not coming strait down.

Outside I can hear faint hum from turnpike so wind gusts can’t be that bad.

I know we have few hours left but so far so good

Same as Ian with a couple inches of rain, wind, and no damage here at Mabel Villas. Some thunderstorms are much worse.

nothing
 
3/4 inches of rain, a little wind, way less than the usual tropical storm. Our prep is to take in our yard sign and open a bottle of wine.

Off Belvedere got only 3/4" on my rain Guage and only 20 gallons added to my rain barrel. With a typical FL thunderstorm my 100 gal rain barrel fills up in 10 minutes.

So glad your boat was at a floating dock. Others not so lucky. Friends have drone flying over their place today. Have to say we’re we’re lucky with the wobble, we have had more damage from regular thunderstorms here.

Our oldest has vaca home on Barrier Island, right by Wilmington, North Carolina. Said there’s damage to his roof, but on the upside probably would’ve had to replace it in the next two years anyway.

I swear since they bought their house on the island every hurricane travels to their back door. “ so it’s their fault.”:shrug:

All is well in our neck of the woods (Wildwood - Off of SR 44). No flooding luckily. Lots of gusty winds but have to say, we are lucky!

Was there a hurricane? Hmmm, it must have skipped over us. Gotta love all the hysteria though. Very entertaining.

Doesn't matter. Rain above gage gets blown away but rain coming in will make up for it. It's like standing in the rain and getting wet even though the rain is going sidewise, you'll still get wet.

I spent a good deal of time yesterday dodging blowing leaves. (Or as some will insist 'leafs')

Excellent point! I was thinking about getting an ev golf cart. For the reason you stated, and a few others, I am going to keep my gas cart. Thanks for your insight!

No affect in Alhambra. We've had heavier storms and higher winds WITHOUT a hurricane. 3/4" on my Tain gauge.

Have a nephew that’s a Dr. & he had 2 EV’s & said no more, he went back to a gasoline car, wish I had why he went back to a gas car but I’m guessing it had to do with keeping them charged. Personally I wouldn’t have an EV, I heard to many nightmares about EV’s before I retired from Ford after 38 yrs. Guess some people have to buy one to find out.
