wvu80 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 So if you only had time to save just one speaker or piece of equipment from the hurricane, which one would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just look at it as divine intervention telling me to upgrade my gear. I have homeowners and flood insurance so my RF-7s would magically turn into Forte 3s. I would however try to get my 396's up out of harms way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2017 It was kind of heading right for you, but now it's stationary, so no telling where it's going. but we will all stay wet. I do like your speaker plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past the 3 day path has been pretty close though. I normally don't pay attention till then. In the mean time it's looking like it will head north fairly quickly once it starts moving again.

Moderators dtel Posted June 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2017 It probably will not become a hurricane, but will cause some flooding if everyone get's the amount of rain predicted. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess where it will land is all up in the air. ( I know, I just was compelled to say that). JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Cindy is ruining our vacation. My wife and I arrived in Destin, Florida yesterday afternoon. It started raining early this morning and it is supposed to rain until we leave Friday morning. Could be worse, we are just getting the outer bands. But it is kind of sad to be in a 7th floor ocean view room in this weather. I shouldn't complain since there will be a lot of people west of here getting some serious flooding from this storm.

We were in Destin last year when the rains flooded Baton Rouge and closed down Interstate 12. I feel your pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Tornado warning alert woke us at 4:44 am this morning. Apparently, a water spout was detected just off shore heading towards Destin. We were ready to hit the nearest stair well, but it seems that it made shore just west of here near Fort Walton Beach. Winds are still 40 mph here with heavy rains coming down and sometimes sideways. Good luck to all of you in the direct path of this storm, which looks like will be the Texas / Lousiana border (Carl). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be good as we'll be on the clean side. There's a steady breeze out of the north here this morning. I took in everything in the yard and patio that I thought might take flight this morning. Rain shouldn't be an issue because even if a good band hits us, the drainage improvements made over the years around our house should handle it. At this point I have no worries over this storm (subject to change without notice). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you live where it floods a TS is nothing really, higher than a 1 or 2 hurricane and were out of here. Most 1 and 2 category were just a party when we were younger, get supplies which was mostly beer and food for a few days and take a break. It's not that bad,(until stuff starts flying) but above 2 you better get a grip quickly as to what you're going to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
