Hurricane Florence

Only works if you are on septic. Will work on sewer system if your lift stations stay functional.

If lift stations that serve you die, it will work if you are uphill in the system.

Until the lines are full. Then ugly.

 

Personal experience encountered?

 

There is no 'bug out' when half the state tries to leave at once. Go early rather than later.

Last year the interstates and old 4 lanes out of Fl were parking lots, barely making 20mph. And gas stations along the way quickly ran out of fuel.

If your going to go, go now. As one that lives in a state where the only way to go is one direction...up (North), people were stuck on the interstate almost through the storm. Bugging out at the last minute is almost futile.

 

Crazy I was east of maggie valley and west of the lake right off of 26

Yes septic it will work gravity fed lift staions it will work ectronic lift station needs generator

 

Godspeed everyone.

Keep us posted.

 

Looks like I’m just in for some flooding, potential for tornados, an possibly some looting depending on how stupid people get.

On a lighter note, UPS just dropped off my sliders and front bumper!


Stay safe y’all

 

The boy and I just went and filled 20 sand bags here in Goose Creek for us and the neighbor if we need them. Hopefully we won’t since we both sit up on a hill and have 2 large empty retaining ponds at either end of our street. We shall see.

 

Fed ex is suppose to bring my lift Saturday but I reschedule it for Tuesday! I was thinking about the weather being bad! Sliders next on my list! What front bumper ya get?

 

Seas are angry my friends

 

Holy shit!!

 

Too Soon ??? .......... Ya'll be careful. Just past convoys of trucks heading East on I40 in Arkansas, they were hauling at least 16 rescue boats your way. Another 12+ trucks with utility poles. Line clearance trucks, linemen, etc. Not a good sign. Prayers...

 

Yeah they had like a dozen of Duke energy trucks in a parking lot! I guess they are on standby to go to the coastal areas

 

At 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 UTC) on Sept. 11, 2018 the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite looked at Hurricane Florence in infrared light. MODIS found coldest cloud top temperatures around the eye, as cold as or colder than minus 80 degrees (yellow) Fahrenheit (minus 112 degrees Celsius). Surrounding the eye were thick rings of powerful storms with cloud tops as cold as or colder than minus 70 degrees (red) Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). Credit: NASA/NRL

Still a big storm but it might just let up a little.
