Hey Randy You are going to get WET
I too hope all those people in a city that's already below water level are Ok.
Meanwhile I hope it drops as much water as possible in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys.
It's due to be here in the Toronto area about dinner time on Wednesday. They are already saying we could get 4" of rain in the few hours it takes to pass.
Best of luck.

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.

2ndhand, what is the final assessment? How did you make out? I hope you and wife are in good health and there was no serious damage to your place.

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.

Hey Randy You are going to get WET
I too hope Peters is alright.
I was speaking this morning with a pilot friend of mine who has volunteered to fly relief supplies in to the stricken areas.
He says the upper east end of Alabama was hit pretty hard.
My thoughts and prayers are with those people.

Hey Randy You are going to get WET
Just heard that the levees around NO are giving way and the water is rising in the downtown district. They had to evacuate all the people in that area now.

Martial law has been declared. They have to get everyone out of there somehow. People are going to die. New Orleans is on its way to becoming a 30 foot deep toxic lake.
