Be safe in this storm!!!!!

For those of you out in the wicked weather out on the East Coast. Be safe the next few days.

By the way, these trucks do not swim. Try not to end up on the news as the one that tried to cross some deep water!!!

"Hey, y'all, watch this!" Don't be that guy.

Also don't forget about trees. For some reason branches like to
fall on people and cars/trucks and cause problems.

Just stay safe.

Mine has already caught that virus. A big limb fell on the pass side bed rail. BIG dent. Insurance fixed it and declared it immune to future trees.

Mine is in the garage.
We are getting hit pretty hard in CT.
The flooding tonight is going to be REAL bad.
I am about 6 miles for the shore and up 350 ft so I think I am safe.
I also have the generator all ready to go.

Places were flooding on the CT shoreline today during low-tide, just from surge. Tonight is a full moon, plus high tide when the storm is closest, so there is going to be some crazy storm surge. Biggest winds arent until 6pm - 10pm from what ive heard, and there have already been huge gusts. Dont get this too often

Not much of a chance of flooding where I'm at, just need to worry about power outage and sump pump going out. My generator is ready and the beer is cold.


Be safe everyone!

If they predict that high of storm surge I would take heed and evacuate, don't mess with storm surge. Property can be replaced!

Heavy rains and wind. Truck is in the garage. Generator full of fuel. And the horses are taught the back stroke.

As a journeyman lineman everybody stay away from downed lines. Just because it is on the ground does not make it dead. Believe me I have seen police and fire grab a hold of downed lines right in front of me. They were just lucky. I hope everyone comes thru the storm safe and sound everything can be replaced except us and the people around us.
