Hurricane Harvey
« on: August 26, 2017, 03:43:51 AM »
Hurricane Harvey is expected to gain strength until it stalls out at the Texas coastline tonight, then continue to dump rain and slowly track the coastline Eastward.
This sounds like a job for "Super Lister" and it's sidekick "Changfa-Gen"
Who is powered up in the region (and still has internet)?
Who is living thru it now? Will we hear from them next week? This is expected to last longer than usual?
I have only had a few small power failures sense the 5 day outage in 2007;  The Great Northwet Ice Storm. So my Ashwamegh 25/2 hasn't run much.
I usually start an Onan CCK or NH initially, then start to consider the long term possibilities with the Listers. In every event after 2007, the outage has been 4 hours or less.

The dichotomies of life.  What to pray for and to what extent.  Good weather or listening to your secret friend (s) saving the universe.

Best wishes on your adventure.
