View AttachmentView AttachmentHere is looking up my driveway towards the road and then turning around looking at my house with the creek behind it. The only dry land left around here is on top of the septic tank, so my dog is going to have to go shit on the shit holder. My bulldog actually walked into the part of our front yard this morning that is flooded and dropped a deuce right into the water. It sank, just in case anyone was wondering. Beautiful place you have, hopefully things will be back to normal sooner than later!

All that rain they called for didn't make it to Albany. Hasn't rained a drop that I've seen. Been cloudy all day and windy.

Hope y’all come out ok. We lost power about 3:30 this morning, I went to work for a couple hours around 9:30. Came home at noon to play generator games. Trying to salvage two refrigerators and a chest freezer. Generator will not run our big newer fridge/freezer for some reason, something with the electronics in it I think. Piled everything in the chest freezer and several coolers. So far so good, we don’t got it bad like some. I got both kids generators, the oldest wanted a new one she paid me back for, youngest just wanted one that worked. So in the generator games today, I learned that a electronic control refrigerator does not play well with a non inverter generator with ground fault outlets. It runs for about 2 minutes and says I don't like this power and sends a ground fault out to trip the receptacles on the generator. So, I remember powering that persnickity refrigerator with a generator that did not have gfci outlets, and swapped Gen sets with the other kid. So the one that paid for the new Gen set, will have to change out the gfci outlets to standard to get it to work for them. Power went out here 9 am, still out..rocking a Gen set. If it gets hot tomorrow I'll go to the camper with its Gen set and have some ac..watch movies and drink.. So I'll probally run 2 gen sets. 3500 inverter on the camper, 5500 for home refrigeration. No worries, the beer will stay cold. I expect the kids to have power before i do. 1 of them already does. Both are on a elec coop. I'm on duke.

Apparently a voltage problem that these refrigerators don’t like. Wondering if some sort of surge protection/regulator would work? I’ll figure it out before “next time”. Meanwhile, I need a shower. I’m offending myself.

Sounds like most of y'all came through with minimal damage, just some cleaning up to do. If so, that's good news.

Hell boys I'm in Tally drinking coffee and waiting on French Toast from my sexy queen. Lost power at 6.30 am , cleaned out the good stuff to a cooler and hauled it to Tally with me. Hurt to throw a bunch of stuff away but such is life. Gonna head back to Perry in a couple days , just giving everybody there time to get right. Little damage at my house , One tree down in the yard and one torn screen on the porch. I been thru so many Hurricanes they just don't bother me much anymore.. Viking Strong

Same here but still no power. I dealt with this much better when I was younger. I got a brand new window shaker about 4 yrs ago, still in the box. Now I’m too old to want to F with setting it up. I guess I’ll just sit here, sweating and bitching😁
