High winds all nite -- gusty/steady to as much as 40 mph (blew over a VERY heavy refrig I had stuck outside) -- temperatures in low 60's just now cooling down to ~59F. Overnite is forecast to be more of same PHD, winds expected up to 10 mph higher, rain possibly 1.5 inches. Flood watch for them in the flood plain.
Will need to crank up the genny that I ain't troubled to run in a year's time, should we lose power. Watching the wires on the roadside primaries whipping around in the wind as I type. Five fully charged 12v batteries and no inverter exc for 'puter UPS.... How dumb can I get?? At least the wood stove only requires I present it offerings to burn, and the gas range has a full tank plus...
Adequate water, plenty food tho', plenty d.c. lighting available, pillar candles -- of course.
isobars on weather map sez you gotta still be getting more of these balmy breezes. Roy gotta be getting glazed over eyes watching the meter spin toward the +$ side. Life is just soooo... interesting.
