@Fin hopes and prayers to your family and friends. I know what it’s like to go through these storms and it sucks. Stay safe

@Crabby48 @NY_Caveman @Robin Haselden how are you guys holding up

Long time no check in... I've been well. Just been relaxing when I can, working when I can't. Tank is on cruise control... I havent tested anything in at least 2 months. Keep ATO full, dosing pump is doing its thing, corals look happy, fish are fat... still have ulva and aiptasia, but I'm not that concerned about it right now.

Picked up ANOTHER expensive hobby tho... this makes like 3 or 4...

He's great. He's been loving going up to the horse farm... he doesn't understand that horses are bigger than him tho. Walks right between their feet like he doesn't have a care in the world. Daisy, our collie/chow mix knows to keep back, but likes to jump around behind them and bark when we move them around.

We have two cameras/reporters in Lake George, LA tonight. The footage was nutty. There were 132 MPH gusts 30 miles inland, 80 MPH sustained for about 90 minutes, That is craziness.

Hope the bar and hot tub are safe @Fin !

4s are scary. I start to think about what I need to do to prepare at 3... I saw part of LA was predicted to get 15-20' storm surge

It sounds like they said the surge was on the lower end so far. Lake Charles is just getting the eye now.

Nice to see you BTW, Turtle.

Been a while... Isasis or however it was spelled put 2' of water in our yard, around 4' surge when they were calling for none.

Good morning. Just woke up. Storm update??? Please tell me she had a redhead temper and popped hot and fizzled quickly.

NY_Caveman · Aug 27, 2020

Down to category 3 now.

NY_Caveman · Aug 27, 2020

Storm surge (water) has been much less than expected, and the storm is not as big as Rita, but it may still be the most powerful to have made landfall in Louisiana.
