Winter has been put on hold. We have a tropical system headed our way. The model that correctly showed where Ian was going says this one will hit us dead nuts. The models that were wrong about Ian say the new one, Nicole, will hit the coast well South of us, and the TPS is saying that is the predicted path.
 
We got hit by another hurricane last night. Yet again, they said it was going to be much further away and yet again it hit us dead nuts. While it was not nearly as strong as the previous one when it came ashore, it was much worse in many respects. The winds were a lot worse. After Ian I had only a couple of big tree limbs to saw up and dispose of and a very small amount of fence damage. Last night I had two fence panels completely destroyed and damage to a number of other sections of fence, including a broken post. We did not lose electric power with Ian but the power went out a bit after 0400 and was not restored until about 12 hours later. I cranked up my new generator for the first time and kept the refrigerator cool, since FPL could not provide an estimate of when the power would be back on. The pool is so full of crap I don't know how long it will take to get it clean. The Vonage Internet phone is not working, although the Internet connection is. We got only about 3.6 inches of rain from the storm, about half what we got from Ian.

Turns out the power outage was because an awning at a local business blew away and took out the power lines. The business is a Tesla dealership. So the Tesla electric car company helped to knock out power to thousands of people last night.

Glad to not be living in the Buffalo, NY area........ supposed to be getting 4+ feet of snow between Thursday night and Monday morning..... Too cold and too much snow for this Texas beach kid.
 
It began 60F this morning, to 81F this afternoon. So far minimal rain and it's fun to be back in the shop temperature wise. Over the summer I put together eight model airplane engines from parts and spent the last three days breakin running. Only two are stubborn, one an old hurricane survivor I thought dead and the other still tight.
 
Google reckons the weather here was around 20C. I can't confirm or deny as I didn't go out today outside of this morning and it felt fine. Mostly took advantage of the sunny weather to read
