Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Obviously loss of life is the heart wrenching and by far the worst thing that happened, especially that 11 year old kid from va beach. I also feel terrible for all the people that lost their homes or had property damage or money they loose from not being able to work or having to throw all their food away. But i also hate seeing a lot of these huge really nice mature trees come down, especially considering how many of them fell.

I just hope the next big one is not ignored or played down.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Sounds like everyone is doing well for the most part. Just got power back at about 5am. Had the generator running, but it only keeps about 35% of the house up. Fortunately no damage to my neighborhood, some flooding but it's all receeded already.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
I took my backup propane tank to get re-filled so I'd have 2 tanks to cook with in case of a power loss. (meat, meat and more meat) My grill has a sideburner for boiling water too.
I have a huge case of bottled water in the attic for emergencies. Ended up with about 3 inches of rain, some tame 30 MPH gusts and loss of power for a morning. Dodged it all. Just some leaves to sweep off the deck. Family on LI also got a lot less than expected. Hope everyone here was and is safe. Coincidentally, my newborn daughter's (born 2 weeks ago) middle name is IRENE. I was born during a tornado in MD that took out the bridge to the hospital too.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Those are incredible photos in the link posted above. Wow.
I had turned on Dish Earth (Dish Network has a 24-hr view of the earth from a space satellite) and I could clearly see the hurricane as it was approaching NC. It was HUGE. Amazing view.

I think that leaves North Dakota as a viable option. Some people are truly idiots.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Got powered back sometime this afternoon, not sure what time.
Hey, question for you guys. Like how long would you say raw meat in the fridge would be good for. I had a couple of steaks I was going to cook and it still looks and smells fresh, though there is some discoloration just along the edges, but not mold or anything like that. |

NOTE: Some places say 4 hours...although a lot of times I leave meat to defrost, but I guess this may be different.
