Are the hatches battened down?

[Big Dave]

I'm back on the information highway. No damage but just got power back on today. Did get new fenders for "Maybellene" ('66 Chevelle) delivered yesterday.

Talked to Big Dave they made it fine no flooding just some downed trees and of course no power. I hope the majority of people effected faired ok.

Bradenton was a non event to me - I typically have more down branches and debrie from an average rain storm than I got from Issac. Total hype - 15" - 18" rain predicted - we got less than an inch at my house. I did talk to Blake tonight - he is still waiting on power to be restored but all have faired well - no damage to property.

Thanks for the update. As soon as I knew we weren't going to get blasted, I started praying for them. You passed us in Slidel leaving Blakes in June, now you would probably need a john boat to do it.

Glad most of the saturated sunshine state was spared this time.

not dry yet DTB

From what I am seeing you are getting WAY MORE rain than we are over here! So far it has been a complete non-event here in Bradenton!

Thankfully it looks as though it has been downgraded to a tropical storm. And everyone is thrilled with that except evidently the the left-leaning media.

stay safe dave, i saw tonight on the news the storm seems to be creeping west at each update they post, i know you guys are going to be on the "dirty" side, least the sidewalks will be clean for us in biloxi for cruisin the coast LOL

Good thing Isaac is by passing Gulfport / Biloxi, the condo will be there for us in October. And thanks for watching out for us I think we'll be fine.

At least you have your priorities straight Dave!

[Big Dave]

We're expecting our first feeder band of rain tonight but land fall has been put off until tomorow night. This thing could move farther west tomorrow....Look out Mike! Anyway went out and bought food and beer, then gas and beer, then sand bags and beer.....did I forget anything? Hurricane party starts at 6: 00 P.M. CST tonight!

so far, not alot of wind. not alot of real hard driving rains, but it has been a steady rain all day. basically, not a big deal for us.

because of the size of the storm, we'll be getting alot of rain today

Godspeed to everyone in the path - this thing has the potential to do a lot of damage - let's hope that potential is never realized.

Don't know if you folks down there are familiar with HAARP or not but a friend of mine just sent me this.

Seems to indicate that Isaac has the highest possibility of tornado outbreaks associated with it. Not good. We here in the midwest can attest to that.
