Pls forgive the typos and such….Hurricane Ida has made it necessary to post from my phone.
Ida hit at 12 noon….our winds and rain started about 1400 hrs…..and for the last 20 hours we have been dealing with 45-80+ mph winds and heavy heavy rains….so far about 12 inches and it still continues….
I lost part of my privacy fence (yet again for Zeta took a portion of it in 2020) and some tree damage but no loss of trees……we are still trying to cope with being locked down for at least 24 hours straight.
My garden has ceased to exist…..
MoMo is coping without her normal morning walk….the gusts of 60-80 mph winds is not something she enjoys.
Sorry had to make this short but sweet…..time to make my rounds to be sure the house has no problems………..
Be Well….Be Safe…..
It was all over the news here, chuq. Glad to hear you are doing okay. New Orleans has no power at all, but I know that’s a long way from you. Take care!
Best wishes, Pete.
About 60 miles away…..we are still have gusts at 45-50…..rain has left….not much damage…I appreciate your concern chuq
Pete have you any info on this story? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9936399/Secret-army-200-weapons-obsessed-ex-soldiers-plotting-attacks-vaccine-centres.html
It gets little mention, to be honest. The Daily Mail claimed to have infiltrated the group, so got a ‘scoop’. There have been man large prootests by anti-vaxxers recently, when the government decided to allow 12 year-olds and over to choose whether or not to have the vaccine despite their parents’ wishes to the contrary. It’s hard to get firearms here, and most of the ‘secret army’ members are talking about using crossbows, air rifles, and fire-bombs. I would be surprised if it comes to anything to be honest.
THanx for the update….I was wondering what it was all about chuq
