Mike Posted September 9, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2017 We do have some members down in FL. From what I can see the map shows about 14-15 people down there. @billcapp, @26th-Z, @Carl Beck and others are regulars on our site. Good luck and our prayers go out to you and your families...

JSM Posted September 9, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2017 I boarde up my NE side of the house. Now with the shift it seems I should have done the other side. I'm spent. Did my moms house yesterday. Good thing I got insurance on my Z. Just did this in August. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/58488-irma/#findComment-529965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted September 9, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 9, 2017 That looks like a good bunker. Take care, don't eat all the good stuff first and hide your beer. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/58488-irma/#findComment-529973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsesosirus Posted September 10, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2017 Good luck, it's crazy that there are 3 strong hurricanes in a row. Nebraska does have it's fair share of hail and tornadoes, but there's only been a few bad hail incidents in the last few years. No hurricanes or earthquakes... actually we did have an earthquake this spring, it was in Oklahoma, but we felt the effects. I woke up and my bed was shaking into the wall, I thought it was some kind of Exorcist dream haha! We had a hail storm 2 months ago that broke my windshield and ruined my hood in my DD Tahoe. Thank God I spend the money on a garage for the Z! Take care! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/58488-irma/#findComment-530013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted September 11, 2017 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) So glad I boarded. Pounding rain right now. Another 1.5hr we should be better. Still have power. So many don't. Heard at least 4 transformers pop around here. I actually used my z to brace the garage door. Thank goodness I'm still in primer. I'm the blue dot in the middle.

EuroDat Posted September 11, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Good luck Jeff and other members in the area. Hope it passes over without too much damage. Irma really made a mess of Saint Martin (dutch colony). One of our friends daughter works on the island, and he lost contact for two days. He was a nervous wreck until she finally got a message through that she was alright.

JSM Posted September 11, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys. Wind is still going. My assesment was off a little. ? I think cell service is down in a lot of spots. Texted some other friends and heard nothing.

Dave WM Posted September 11, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Still here, got lucky, no house damage (at least from what I can tell from a quick survey) lost a fence on the back, BIG limb from neabours tree is thru my screen and into the pool, other than that just a LOT of med to small oak tree limbs EVERYWHERE. I don't think I suffered any roof damage, could not see any missing shingles, and no windows or door were breached. It was a scary night. Lot of clean up to do. Never lost power which is good, no AC in central Florida can be tough.

Captain Obvious Posted September 11, 2017 Share #12 Posted September 11, 2017 Glad to hear that some of you folks are now on the far side of that thing and came through OK. I hope the folks down further in south Florida are OK. From what I hear, it's going to be no picnic even all the way up into GA TN, and AL.
