Hey Randy You are going to get WET
Yes is certainly does look like we are gonna get soaked! Hopefully the storm with break up in intensity before it gets up here from the gulf. We have been in a very bad drought. So bad the wells in the area of very low and going dry.........mine included. The hay fields are looking really spotty and the grass is stunted. We need that rain REALLY bad; just not all on one big gulley washer. I will keep you guys posted on how the Hurricane plays out.

Hey Randy You are going to get WET
It is about 12 hours later and WOW! what a change! The wind has REALLY picked up and the rain is a bit heavier and spotty. The wind blew a roof sheetmetal panel loose on my live stock barn so the wife and I backed the truck up to the barn door and I got my Dewalt Screw gun and some rubber seal washer screws to resecure the panel back down. So far so good. I filled up the Cummins plus 20 gallons in cans and got about 20 gallons of gas for the genny just in case. WOW!!!! Talk about sticker shock!!!!!!! I need to get out more. Nearly $164!!!!!
The radio is saying that Florence AL which is about 50 miles to the south of me is without power and debry as well as tree limbs are scattered all over the creation. Further south-southwest of me in central MS; around Picaune; they took are really bad hit. LOTS of damage.

Hey Randy You are going to get WET
The winds are wipping up to between 35 and 50 mph best I can tell and the rain is whailing down in sheets. I drove around the ranch and the barn roof repair and barns seem to be holding up. I big piece of one of my Bradford pear trees limb is laying in the front yard. The road is just scattered with debry. Hope this settles down soon.

Hey Randy You are going to get WET
Compared to MANY others we were VERY fortunate. I sure hope Peters made it through OK. At one point we saw a few gusts perhaps up to 60 mph. The rain came down in a nice steady but windy sheets. We got just a tad over 4 inches of MUCH MUCH needed rain which the ground has pretty much already soaked up like a sponge. There are leaves, limbs, and debry scattered all over kingdom come but mostly small stuff. The only damage I have come across around the ranch house is the pear tree. My barn roof repair stood up to the test. I still have to drive around and check the rest of the property. We again were VERY fortunate in that we never lost power and it looks like the brunt of the storm was expended not too far south of us.

Germany has already made their offer for assistance.
