No winds down here but I got to fix an AC drain leak in the attic today.
Here in Indiana (Fort Wayne)
tons of trees down, electricity out they say until next Wensday, as power crews are covered up with work load
of repairs.
Myself didn't get me
Bill, you don't need to be in an attic with 100* temp. Get one of the young crappie fishermen down your way to do it for you.Thumbs UpQuote:

Really messed up my night fishing plans last night. I was literally driving to the bait shop when I heard the radio reports that the storm would be here around 9pm. Decided it would b best to wait a day.
Hit the lake this morning and it was solid leaves. Managed 20 (all small)
We had a bit of a blow come through here last night... We must have been just on the edge of it...
Minor tree damage & power out for 18 hours--a good test of all the emergency equipment & supplies that should be ready for hurricane season.
No damage here, thought we missed it because it didn't wake me up, but I just found my doormat from the back door on the roof next door.
my wife said it was crazy when the storm went through last night. i guess bosco and me are in the same club!! slept like a baby and never heard a sound.
- Portsmouth/Craney Isl... Wesaturday lost power for 15 hours, tossed everything in the fridge- could have been worse though.
Then last night it went again, almost took us with it. We almost got hit buy the telephone pole as is was comeing down 200' from the house. The flash from the lighting strike caused me to hit the breaks, the pole landed 10 feet from the bumper. Power as out for a hour or so.
Looks like round 3 of this crap tonite...grr... really getting over it.
When I was leaving for my charter Sayturday morning, it looked like a war zone. I had to drag a tree out of the street, trashcans, siding, tree limbs everywhere.
I lost power last night along with internet, TV and phone. First time I lost phone service. Cox just put a generator on the pole and that restored everything except power. Meanwhile the generator is humming along just fine.
We had some serious wind Friday evening. It blew the top out of a Buckeye tree & a big limb out of a Walnut tree in my yard. Neither missed the house by 15 ft. These are both very old & large trees. Good lord was watching over us.
I had skirting blown off ($250) on trailer at river. Sister had 7 trees go down at her house in richmond ( causing power loss and a car wreck) My Daughter called Sunday(yesterday) she was still without power (in Blacksburg)
BUT, my boat did just fine in the boatslip!!
