Well it appears that it is going to be down to a Cat 3 hurricane by the time it reaches the Jacksonville area. Not that it lessens the concern but that means the sustained winds will be less.

Hopefully we won't lose power tomorrow. Once this storm passes I am probably going be working a lot of OT for a while. There hasn't been one that's hit this area since I moved down here over 15 years ago.

We just got off of mandatory 60 hours weeks last week, and now we are getting this. The entire east coast of Florida is all Bellsouth/AT&T and is mostly aerial plant. Normally I would get sent out of town to work those areas but we are going to have our hands full here.

I've heard it could strengthen to a category 5 before making landfall. It's going to be a mess regardless of what category it is though

I never heard any reports of it going to a Cat 5...

It really is scary how fragile our infrastructure is and how much we all depend upon it.

Anyone remember the 9/11 thread on here? All the while it was going on I was thinking to myself, "What if these dumb bastards would be smart enough to fly those planes into a nuclear or electric energy generation plant or a dam?"

Thanks....I am a little more inland than some on here so I am in the area where the winds are not supposed to be as gusty.

And from what I've been told I am not in a flood plain.

Very windy and steady rain right now. Actually howling outside a bit. Looks like the heavy stuff is going to miss us. Took some Advil and gonna head to bed.
