Dorian: Shutters are up!
Door is metal so the forint is set. My guy brought a guy who was doing shutters for the first time. Which explain why the shutters on the left are upside down.
Sweet gods of Andromeda! I need to kill that mold…. yeech! A simple solution of 70/30 water and household bleach will have it spotless in about 30 minutes after application.
Back porch is done. same as in the picture before, a couple of panels are not up yet so we can go in and out till right before SHTF.
And last but very important: Vigilant Gnome staring down at Dorian 200 miles away.
And a silent prayer for those in the Bahamas.
And will somebody please give Dorian’s steering wheel a slap right? Thank you.
Dorian: Tripwire to be the 11 am advidsory.
As of 8 am, sumbitch has not turned North as “predicted” Since 11 pm last night, it has moved only 2/10 of a degree North and 1.5 West.
Not happy.
And now we are in the Tropical Watch zone which we weren’t last night.
If I don’t see a serious improvement on the hurricane’s movement north at the 11 A< advisory, the next post will be of pictures the house with the hurricane shutters up.
PS: Besides the NWS Tropical page, I have been checking Mike’s Weather Page, a Fellow floridian who likes weather stuff. Ignore the design of the site because it makes up 1,000 times for all the useful stuff he has in it.
Active shooters in Texas or just Drive Bys? UPDATE: Shooter is dead
ODESSA, Texas (KOSA/Gray News) – Authorities are responding to reports of an active shooter in Odessa on Saturday afternoon.
The City of Midland said authorities have taken a suspect into custody at the Cinergy of Midland.
Twenty injuries have been reported in connection to the shooting, according to the City of Odessa.
According to the City of Midland, a suspect shot a trooper in the westbound lanes of I-20 and shot several people afterwards.
From the City of Midland: “We believe there are two shooters in two separate vehicles. One suspect is believed to be at the Cinergy in Midland and the other is believed to be driving on Loop 250 in Midland. The two vehicles in question are: gold/white small Toyota truck and a USPS Postal Van. Please stay away from these areas and stay indoors.”
From DPS: The public is urged to avoid I-20 in Odessa, Midland and Big Spring as authorities search for a suspect who has shot several people including an officer.
The City of Odessa is also urging the public to stay inside their homes.
Authorities are searching for a second suspect who may have taken a U.S. Post Office vehicle
20 people reportedly hurt in active shooting in Texas; suspect taken into custody
There is a precedent for a moving active shooter with Asshole Elliot Rodger in Isla Vista back in 2014. Or maybe this are two meth heads just losing their crap and going Mad Max on people.
We should be inundated with fake and erroneous info for the next 24-48. If no “Assault Rifle” was used or the doers are the wrong group, the story should die by then also.
And don’t forget, while we still keep playing the same dumb political games of not naming the shooters and excoriate them in the media but blaming the NRA and gun owners, the next shooter(s) is encouraged to continue prepping his attack.
Update: Shooter is dead. He hijacked a mail truck.
Forget Chapelle, Go Nick De Paolo.
I just saw this guy over 90 miles and in 6 minutes had me laughing 1,000 time more than the 30 minutes of the last Chapelle I watched.
I lost it at the Papa John joke.
