Power and cell phone coverage is pretty sketchy from what I've seen.
Hurricane Milton
- Thread starter Session 5
- Start date
FYI, I have been in contact with Adrian a.k.a. @eSGEe over the past few days and he assured me that he should be safe during the storm. As of this morning, he has not replied back to me. I'm hoping it's just that he is too busy cleaning up or has no power. My prayers are out to Adrian and family!
I just chatted with Adrian. Yes, he's in cleanup phase right now.

Dave, glad to hear you and Adrian are ok.
Dave, glad to hear you and Adrian are ok.
Great on minor damage.I just received this email from Adrian...
"We are o.k. just minor
My dog Murphy passed away ....I think the stress was to much on his heart 14 plus years ...."
Murphy passing is just pain awful. RIP Murphy.
The cleanup begins. First thing, got the driveway clear...
Yard is going to take a bit more work...
This last pic WAS my beautiful screened party gazebo, you can barely see it, buried in there.
It now has a huge oak tree inside it. Too soggy to get a better look.
Oh well.

That was very sad news about Murphy the dog.
Hope you are drying out ASAP.

Glad to learn that everyone is ok! My family has all checked in and are ok, just minor damage and no power.
Glad to hear that you made it through Milton @Hackmaster! I've been concerned about you and Adrian. It's relieving to hear from both of you.

We have people trying to politicize natural disasters of biblical proportions….. there is nothing political about a natural disaster.
Guy was interviewed on the news the other night. Don’t remember if NC after Helene or FL moments after Milton. He had shown up to help cleanup…. His comment was, “I don’t ask who he voted for, I’m just here to help as needed.” Then fired up his chain saw and went to work.
That’s neighbors helping each other.

There is everything political about how a natural disaster is handled, just to say. I think to say what you said undermines the fact that politics are being played very hard against rescue attempts for these victims. You can hear it from the horses mouth everywhere. Politics is contextual and certainly exists in this situation to colossal proportions.
Now can they be discussed here is another matter.
Jest sayin', iblive.
Lol.
