| OT Hurricane rolling in for UGA game weekend?

[TerryP]

Ebike I'm betting

Uh, no.

You might be the Mike Seidel of the cycling world.

I went out for about a half of an hour this morning and the wind...it's kicking. It was truly a ying yang thing...there were stretches I didn't have to pedal because the wind was so strong at my back. There were a few I had to stop because I was about to get blown over. I have no idea what the gusts are right now...haven't turned on the TV to see. I did see this. Looks right to me.

I just got a gust that blew the latch off of my gate. That's a privacy fence latch in a 4X4 on a 2X4. I have a few bird houses I've built around my back yard...just saw one of those blown off the fence.

Yeah the wind can be brutal.
Back with Frederic it blew through the cracks between the door and wall frame so hard it made the door whistle.

Oh dude. We're getting it. And, in a way, it's just wild.

100+ mph winds hitting the islands. I'm getting around 70 or so gusts.

The "news" says, "make sure you are in your safe space." What the fuck? IF that tree if falling I want to see it coming.

The stupidity in life which I find a little funny.

People driving around right now around getting through flooding roads. Yes, it is rain. But an also yes, it's salt water.

I feel like Walz wife right now...elementary stuff. Salt water is not good for a vehicle. Just sayin'...

I can remember standing outside in the eye of the storm.

Hurricane Frederic - September 12, 1979

Yeah we had a hurricane party for this one!!!

Can remember us kids measuring how far we could jump in the wind, before it got to bad.
Went out and climbed toppled trees in the eye and when it started to pick back up my mom made us come back in…

Yeah, they tend to run better on gasoline.

I've found electricity to be a useful thing.

I lost about 90' of fence last night. Straight line winds just blew it over. Literally, snapped 4x4's (posts.)

 

[bama alum]

I live an hour NE of Tuscaloosa. We didn't get anything like what was predicted earlier this week. Saban Field should be in good shape tomorrow night.

Just got mine back on after...don't know. Last night. 9'ish...

 

[TerryP]

Crazy shit.

I took down the umbrella/shade thing over the tables on my patio yesterday. I stored it beside the fence. It's broken, in half, and it's in the same place I stored it. The pole is broken in half, but it's in the same place I put it.

I told my neighbor just now...when I walk into the Pearly Gates the first person I'm going to slap is Mother Nature. Is that going to be white on white vigilance? Is it domestic abuse? I'm going to say it's like a baptism. Cleansing.

Is the side that's collapsing on the East or West bound side? I think there's a lot of travel plans going to be changed this week.


ROLL TIDE! No dogs allowed (to ever win on Nick Saban Field)!

Does it matter?

I don't think they are letting traffic through.

I don't see how they could. I was just curious as to what side that is no longer there.

ROLL TIDE!

East, I think.

I'm South of where this hit but left my Crocks on the deck because they were soaked. My yard, in a word, is "squish.".

Oh Lordy!!!

Chris doering picked BAMA to win by a touchdown…
