Good luck and keep the spirit.
Give us a quick 'we're okay' when you can newsy.
Heard from him last at 1:30 AM with a quick text. He's turning cell off to save battery. Looks like the eye is about 30-45 mi north of his home. He sent pics of his home pre-storm last night. He over-engineered it for a storm like this. Main concern is window integrity.
No power for Puerto Rico for 4-6 MONTHS? Holy crap! Prayers for newsie and everyone on the island.
Let us know if you hear from him.
Yeah, that just blew my mind. I guess the energy infrastructure was archaic and in poor repair to begin with, so they may be building a lot from scratch. Still...wow.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Just heard from Newsie. He is ok. He's in San Juan where there is limited communication. Said island hit by a bomb. His house looks ok structurally (roof, walls) but many windows did not hold up. Interior damage from water, wind etc.He'll post later today.
Just glad to hear he is OK.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Thank you all for thoughts and prayers. My wife and I survived a night of horror. Just glad to be alive. Being 6 hours in a walk in closet is no fun. What just happened is not normal. Nature is telling us something. Yes some of our infrastructure is dated but the winds were unreal 165 mph sustained and I'm pretty sure near 200 mph gusts, I could feel some concrete walls vibrating. But just glad God spared this Warrior and my family. I'm in San Juan 2 hours away. Only pkace there are comms and sketchy at best, and gas is scarce so might be a while For me to post again. So don't worry I'll be fine just hope cable & internet are up by the time season starts. Again, thank you all.
Glad you are ok and safe. I've been through one as bad. Nature is always telling us something.Maria actually a little stronger than 165, it was at 175mph sustained. They measure this for 1 minute sustained push. We've only been keeping records of this stuff for about 100 years, but in North America alone we've hit this marker 15 times since 1924. Eight of those (more than half), were prior to 1992. Six of them prior to 1980. Four prior to 1970. Nature is hard to predict. Glad you are safe.
