Official July 4th Holiday / Hurricane Thread

Post by OakRidgeStars »

It's another Stormaggedon holiday weekend. Hurricane Arthur is off the coast, which probably means we're all going to die or something. Post what you're doing with your last few hours on earth while I get back to my prepping.

Be safe out there.

Hopefully the Brandermill parade doesn't get rained out tomorrow morning!

I headed to Memphis. Then somewhere in Mississippi. That's my holiday weekend. Fun times.

That looks like a kangaroo holding a burlap sack. The vehicle in the background looks somewhat Australian.

20+ mph winds are keeping us off the Potomac for now...will venture out later as the wind begins to lay down, then catch some fireworks from the water tonight.

Howdy,

Anyone remember the last time an "A" named storm hit the Outer Banks?

Looks like the sun is trying to peek out in Chesapeake. Waiting for the front to push thru so I can open my windows.

Regards,

George

If change is inevitable, why aren't we prepared for it?

Out here in Memphis, the temp is mid sixties. The skies do seem a bit cloudy. Missed the fireworks. Heard fireworks; or, this being Memphis, might have been gunshots. ..

There is a house for sale, up the street from where I am parked. Bars on the windows and tagged heavily with graffiti.

Suddenly, I miss my guns.

Stay safe SHMIV. And everyone else as well. Hope you all had a great and blessed 4th. I worked my tail off doing a job I've been putting off. Dogs finally figured out that little gap in the lattice on the deck offered an escape to the outside world! :doh:
