Storm Coming In

Good setup...... this is the one I have. I still need to have a transfer switch installed. I'll need an electrician for this. Would power the whole house, minus the hot water heater. Even the well pump would put a strain on it. I really need to research things.......

 

That's a "nice" machine! You can't go wrong with the Briggs and Stratton stuff, we have city water and sewer so I don't need the extra power for the well pump. Installing that to your house is quite simple actually, if you go with a big heavy #6 wire to a plug on the side of the house, wired into your electric box with it's own breaker, that's really all you need. I have a midwest 50amp plug box outside the house, wired through the wall at the inside power panel. When the power goes out you "FIRST" secure the main breaker to the house, get the generator started, plug to the house then into the generator, then turn on the 50amp generator breaker in your panel. I also shut off my water heater also when I turn off the main.Midwest Electric U054 Outdoor Power Box with 50 Amp Single Outlet Home depot and a few others sell these as well. I got mine for $25.00 at Home depot.

 

Well, Hermine only gave us some slight rain and barely any wind, maybe 25mph. You gotta love the weather channel and some of the news channels who preach "death, doom and destruction" . It PI$$ES me off so bad when they go on and on and on about a storm then nothing… I guess it's for the sue happy and stupid people who say; "you didn't warn us there was a storm coming"!

 

Well, here's my take after 50+ years of looking at weather, 26 years of USCG and my Father as a Commercial fisherman since 1921. Can anything happen, Of course and I'd be silly to say it won't or can't, "but" this time of year the Gulf stream is slowly moving off shore and with it goes the heated water. Today our water temp went from 81* to 72* in 24hrs. Storms and tropical depressions will follow ("most of the time") warm water. So with that said, "I" believe it will keep steaming off shore and break up. Also, one other factor is we have a high pressure sitting over New England that will also push this a little North East more. Again, I'm not saying it can't happen but I don't think we'll get the doom and gloom that's predicted, maybe a little rain.

 

You are correct.......it is still pushing NE.......

 

Nope. The are just trying to make mountains out of molehills. They enjoy death and destruction as that is what they call "news." I call them idiots.

 

Is that your surf rod?

 

Maybe it washed ashore and stuck in the sand like that from the massive waves

 

Killer storm there! Looks just like Cape May harbor less the big buildings!
