fdresq4 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Can you get an invertor that runs of a vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 possibly.. if we do have an issue, maybe I'll see if I can borrow the generator off the Engine, or bring the Engine to the house and pump, lol I pray it does not come down to this..

Chewy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I dont have a generator and I hope the battery backup in our new french drain system works if we need it.. You should have looked into a water powered unit. Sounds dumb, but they work great and water is one of the last things to go. Sure, you may not want to drink it, but it tends to still flow. Batteries only last so long. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormChaser Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just an update of what she is doing. You would think I would be going to bed so I could leave asap.

WildBillsBlueC6 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have not been reading the forum for the last few days because on Wednesday morning I went to Newport R.I. and got my boat ready to ride out the storm, then drove to Point Judith R.I. to meet up with a friend and he drove to New York City to has boat. On Thursday we brought that boat from the City to Block Island (17 hour trip trying to miss the T storms) and got into the island a midnight. Today we stripped his boat so its ready for the stop. Its looking like getting the boat out of the city was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marre Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have a brother and in-laws that live on Cape Cod. So far none of them of are willing to drive across the connecting bridge to get away from the coast, and this storm is making me nervous. Let's hope the weather forecasters are wrong.

3PedalMINI Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 well, so much for a vacation. Drove down to virginia/newport news last night only to be turned around this morning. Visited with my aunt that beat cancer, twice. Then left. Took us 2 hours to get out of Virginia going back roads and and got home an hour ago. Traffic was insane, ended up hitting washington traffic on top of all the evacuees. Watching the news it looks like its really dieing down though and might not have much of a huricane by the time it hits NJ. Lets hope. I have one very large tree that if it fell would take out my house, no missing that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormChaser Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I left town at 2 am. Traffic was good. Weather was not. I hear she's reduced to a cat 1 hut I have not heard how fast she is moving. That is what will get folks is the rain dumping down and her moving slow. Thanks to mook for giving me an update....I was able to relay it to my roommate. I don't have a cool cell signature.....I just use tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my Company Chief I want to respond from home and told him to wait for me to get there for a call.. he chuckled.. but I would really like to be home in case one of the trees come down on our house, I dont think my Wife would know what to do, I wanna make sure Her and the Pets are safe.. the last time it was decently windy (earlier this year) a few big branches fell from this tree..

MAYBEN Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'd say its going to be a busy night.. usually not multiple calls in one night.. Once this ***** is closer, I'm sure plenty more.. btw, the lights are now starting to dim.. WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
