TNCM Being Hit By Nasty Hurricane

[airboatr]

Part 2

This is a short clip of the winds from Irma after it had moved north of 26° 42' 54" N

The winds coming out of the south.
When the winds were coming out of the east I didn't stand a chance of getting any video.. the wind speed was gusting to 80 mph with debris flying plus with torrential downpours of rain.

Having been through plenty of hurricanes , I know what the people on the west coast were going through and hoped the best for all of them.
I can not imagine what was going through the minds of those who experienced the 185 mph wind speeds of Irma.
The videos can't records that.
I've never seen that! Hope I never do.

Probably a few storm chasers would though.. Because they're NUTS! in the heed.

I don't expect electrical power to the building for a few days .. or the house several miles away.

Blimey, that must have been some wind if the house is now several miles away Sorry to hear you're down to root beer, Joe. Presumably, the National Guard will be flying in supplies of Boddingtons once the wind dies down, yes ?

Hi Paul,
You know. .. there's a curfew on and I had a lot of things to do here so . I haven't been to the house yet..
I don't even know if it's where I left it.

Hopefully the house is OK, sounds like you dodged the bullet this time. Having to deal with Root Beer is a real hardship, send me an address and I will have some decent beer airlifted to you, and yes I am serious about that.

Take care.

That's a very kind offer Joe. I'd take him up on the offer, other Joe.

Glad to hear that you are safe Joe. Could not have been a very nice experience.

Regards
Nigel.

Hey Brian,
The car wash in the neighborhood lost it's sign.



No sign of the blond though..

Joe.
Your generous offer is greatly appreciated. However it's not a important necessity .. infact during times like this I have to keep a clear head. I have a number of people who rely on my technical assistance at all hours of the day and night.
Today I installed 3 generators to homes and 1store.
Robert, who owns the store grabbed my phone off my van bumper and took a video of me making up his generator cord he waited to get until After the storm..of course.
I had a little fun with it for slap-stick effect....

BTW Joe
His main business is selling bait and tackle and beer and wine. He has (probably) the widest, biggest, bestest selection of beers in the county

Here are just a few of them






Oh Brian a blond beer in there.. can you find it?

[Paul K]

Eh ? Belgian Ale Barista Chocolate Quad ?? What kind of madness is this ?

[blanston12]

Well joe, glad to see you have all the necessities of life so close at hand. Don't work to hard.

Willy Wonka madness?


Joe
I am extremely fortunate.
