Any hurricane aftermath multitool pics from those of you in flo’s path?
on: September 14, 2018, 04:26:14 PM
I’m in Raleigh NC and so far it’s pretty tame, but just a couple hours away in beulaville my girlfriend’s dad is watching as bits and pieces of his farm buildings blow away. He will be fixing things once the storm is over... and I figure a lot of people will. Perfect time to break out the big guns! Let’s see those multis in use fixing storm damage!

I’m in central NC. Raleigh/Durham area.  All the news said we’d get hit hard, so I packed up some gear and stayed at my girlfriend’s place. Was expecting Armageddon by the way everyone was talking... turned into nothing more than a rainstorm here.

Her dad lives a few hours to the east and his farm took a hit, mostly stuff blowing off of or onto roofs and causing damage. Everything pretty mild and everyone quite safe... but he will have a lot of farm repairs to make after this.

Don't be disappointed CC, it could have gone the other way.  I've encountered enough hurricanes to tell you they remain unpredictable and dangerous until they are completely gone.  My home is built like what most of the rest of the country would consider a bunker.  Home construction in Florida is typically concrete block, and it's been required that roofs be connected to the walls with steel tie down strapping attached to the trusses since 1992 .  Mine was retrofitted when I had the roof redone around 2007.  I have my preparation down by the numbers now, so I don't panic when it's time to batten down the hatches, but I still have anxiety every hurricane season.   The next storm might be a lot worse.   :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

I think what helped us Chopper is that it only a cat 1  when it hit. The main problem now is it slowed and is just dumping rain.  Just wind and rain now, the main rain is coming to night, everyone still safe. :tu:   No matter what happens here, we are still praying for ya'll  closer to the coast which is worse than us.
