Well last night's storm resulted in yet another tree knocked down (number 3 if you are keeping track). This storm also resulted in most of the roof being blown away from the chicken coop and the total destruction of my solar panels I use to recharge all my battery tools and weed-eaters etc. for outside use.
Pretty much ripped the entire panel and support section off the roof of my shop. Looks like everything is still intact but will require a complete removal and reinstall and with all other damage at this point it's gonna have to go into storage and wait it's turn.
More daily storms predicted until Tuesday with a real doozie already forecast for Wednesday as well so we ain't done yet. Only Power flickers last night but the already overcrowded local gas station was damaged again with no end of whining idiots try to make broke pumps work this morning.
It was so bad that even my wife who just rolls her eyes when I complain about new idiots these days came home complaining about them when she got back from Not getting gas.... I just laughed as I drove her 20+ miles for an open restaurant that wasn't filled to over flowing with new out of state immigrants. I didn't rub it in either, I am sure that will come up sometime,
It's gonna take little old me months to recovered from this mess all by myself now.
The best news is that all that time and money I spent on Spring roof repairs and strengthening and hiring help has paid off in GOLD without so much as a lose section pulling up anywhere. YET.
Top priority right now is to get the roof repaired on the chicken coop and goat house ASAP as soon as it stops raining enough to do so. Then cutting up trees and keeping the lawn mowed I guess probably a little of each as needed.
I can say I have weathered many storms out here over the years. Many this powerful or even more so but never one every single day for weeks without fail. Even the weeks prior to this constant rain when we had the Heat still forecast rain everyday but rarely then the switch came and it was worse. AT least it did cool off some for the most part. Still way too hot for my tastes I will admit for a few hours each day.
Now where too start once again? Keep Prepping everyone!!!
