MEB Fall Street Cruise! November 14, 2009 - POSTPONED DUE TO WX!

[Fordfilly]

Yeah we now have a supply of fuel for generators, beer, cigs for those that smoke and a freezer full of steaks.....................camping storm style!

 

[bmc69]

Yeah we now have , beer, cigs for those that smoke !

Hon..we lump all that in to one term: "Emergency supplies" ;D I remember the last two major floods..in '03 and '06. After days went by with no contact to the 'outside world', the last guy with either a cig or a beer was looked upon by the rest like a pack of wolves would look on a lone sheep. Its not a good spot to be in...;D

 

[allenfahey]

I now have no plans for Saturday so if you need any help any way give me/us a shoutout.

 

[wpaeb]

Hold on tight!!!
Best of luck with this thing to Bill and Judi.
Keep Safe

 

[Broncoloupy]

Be safe and try to stay dry.....I was looking forward to seeing the compound finally:-[ Good luck!!!!!!!

 

[Fordfilly]

Winds are getting worse.............someone lost their 20' catamaran which is laying sideways in the shore bank. Okay, I'm ready for this to be over with!

 

[ransil]

weather reports says they are still getting it, could be another 12 hours.

 

[mtfit]

weather is fine at Rausch creek, SAT.......

 

[bmc69]

still getting nailed hard. Water rising again and will soon exceed yesterday's high. More pier carnage..mine and neighbors both. Great..just what I was planning on buying myself for Christmas..a new pier.:-X

 

[chris]

But are the Bronco's safe?

 

[Fordfilly]

All broncos are safe so far...now if these high winds will back off before trees and/or limbs start to come down. Winds are clocking around from the NE to straight on North.........this will effect new areas of homes, piers, trees, etc.

 

[Scoop]

If you guys need help cleaning up just let us know - like Allen said, we're not doing anything this weekend!

Hang in there!

 

[Fordfilly]

Clean up can't start until this thing is gone but right now it is still very strong. Current pictures as of 2 hrs ago.

Side yard..

Friends new 20' HobieCat.

 

[bmc69]

The water crested and has now gone back down a good 6".. the worst is now over.

 

[iwlbcnu]

Newsflash, Judi told Bill to go fly a kite.........he hasn't been seen since.

 

[Fordfilly]

I did no such thing.............but if I look around the yard I might find parts of one. I've got A/C covers, lifejackets, old wooden door from a boat, bottles, parts of piers (including our own), logs, wooden rudders, etc.

 

[tasker]

good lord! some nasty pics guys, hope you stay safe!

 

[Scoop]

Bill, Judi - Update? You guys above water yet?

 

[bmc69]

We're fine. We lost about 30' of our pier..but that is about it for costly damage. The rest is easily dealt with once I get thee backhoe running and the yard dries out a bit.

 

[Broncoloupy]

Glad to hear nothing huge was lost;D
