Florida A'goners Bolt yer system down

Great idea Slappy! FL needs all the prayers it can get.

I'm sure a lot of you have been through bad storms but just to reemphasize the destructive & far reaching power of a Hurricane, just two months ago, a huge limb (about 35-40') that was hanging directly above our transformer about 60' up was finally removed by a tree trimming co. from the damage caused by Hurricane Isabel last year. I think that company is still in the area doing clean up work, as I see the trucks from time to time.

Our Power Co. is getting ready to make a commitment re: sending trucks down as over 1 million lost power here from Isabel, so I can empathize with what you guys are about to go through.

Check out this Hurricane link to watch Charlie.

Well, covered the window yesterday, as I live in Pinellas county...you know, right where Charlie is set to hit land tonight...... I'll have all the bestter equipment completely unplugged and disconnected, all my amps and subwoofer are in the shop after getting their recall work done, so I won't be worrying about then, and the TV is covered for lightning.....

Hope it goes by and doesn't do to much damage......

Thanks, it will be my first hurricane down here since moving to Florida some 3-1/2 years ago from Long Island, having experience a few up there, but here the land is flat so...?
I'm on Space Coast in Melbourne across US1 from the Indian River Lagoon so for this storm I'm some what safe being on the east coast.
Some tunes I'll be playing at work will be Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane" performed by The Mission UK and The Doors "Riders On The Storm" performed by Ex-Voto from the 'Darken My Fire-A Gothic Tribute To The Doors' cd.
