I wish you and the rest of the racing families in the way of the storm lots of luck. I got hammered 2 years ago in the Hurricane that came thru here but survived. The best of luck to and your family HR9121
Damn that thing missed you?!?! Lol just kidding Terry, I know deep down you're a happy person! And thank you for the well wishes I think we're going to need them. I've never seen so many tornadoes popping up this early in a storm. Hopefully this thing picks up some speed and gets the hell out of here.

It doesn't take long to remember what these things are like, the last couple of hours things are starting to get real. That said I don't recall this many tornadoes in a storm, I believe we have had 10 or so tornado warnings in the last few hours. At one point this week I thought about going to Epping for the division race but decided it was too far of a tow but about right now I wish I could reconsider that.

Hopefully that damn thing will be out of your hair soon and you get through with out any damage. Your town does not need this after what happened with the last storm. Stay safe!!

Here in Florida we really dodged a bullet with a cat 5 hurricane just 100 miles off of the east coast. Someone was looking out for us. The islands in the Bahamas that took a direct hit are pretty much destroyed. The people in Florida are rallying to help with lots of donations of needed supplies. My wife went to the grocery store last night and purchased a box of food and supplies to be sent there. It will be a long road back for those over there.

Mike I would say what happened down there in Florida was definitely some divine intervention. It looked bad for you guys and I hate seeing those pictures coming out of the Bahamas.
It looks like we faired really well here last night and most of the damage around is from tornadoes that popped up around the area yesterday evening. We actually had power until around 5 am this morning which is about the time the eye passed to our east and the winds switched around. The only flooding I know of is in the low lying areas. Storm surge was not that big of an issue like it was last year.
Overall we look good!

I just checked the NWS forecast and Epping may be effected by wind late Saturday into Sunday.

Two years ago I had bought a whole house Gen. from Gen. Tech a few weeks before the hurricane hit my area. Not cheap at $12,400 installed with a 500 Gal. propane tank buried in the ground. It was worth every penny as I had power to run everything including the A/C. My area was without power for 9 1/2 days and a day after it came back on it was shut down again so the elec. company could make more repairs down the road for another 3 days. Money well spent in my opinion. Needless to say I had friends stopping in for lunch, dinners, and a chance to cool off or take a hot shower. Never again will I live in a house without one.
