You'll get yers tomorrow Chalk then remember what ya posted today

We are south east of Tifton. Working on 4-6 inches of water. Wind 15-30mph on it's second day. Still have power and most importent, the internet. Getting bored sitting here. Want to be outside working on the "ugly boat" project. Gone through a couple boxes of cookies and added about five pounds to the waistline. Just thinking fishing will be shot to H--- for a few days in Eastpoint.

Went fishing this am. Caught 3 trout in the back yard, 2 rock bass down the hill and a cobia up by the barn....


My 6 inch rain gauge is full. Wife made some smart arse comment about first time in a while she has seen over 6 inches...

It is gonna get wetter out there yall. Be careful.

At least my power came back on around 3 this morning....

Dubble

Emptied my rain gauge last night and so far this morning got about an inch..sure we had more than that. its just that the rain is coming at about 45 degrees. got some pretty hard wind gusts right now. 9:00.

Wind has died down but the rain has not, power was only out for about an hour and a half last nite. While I don't have a rain gauge looking at the pond I'd still guess we are under 3" total the pond is up some but we are not even close to full pool much less running over the spilll way. We are getting a good soaking but that is about all. I was out for a while last night picking up some Chicken Wings for dinner and there were some trees and signs down, it looked like 75 south bound was closed. I did sit in front of Wal Mart for a while and giggle when the folks came out and opened thier umbrellas and the were getting turned inside out pretty quick one lady knew to point the round part towards the wind and made it to her car with it still in tact.

Water is rising about 6 to 8 inches an hour on the river my road going down there is about two foot under now should make for an interesting next 3 or 4 days at least I know that the city of Sopchoppy will be flooded befor we get any water in the house Y'all watch the water careful

Dumped the rain guage last night at 3.5" this morning it had 4.5" in it. 8" total and no end in sight, I want to ride down and see Lake Jackson later today.

power has been out here since about 9:30 last night. seems we are camping now kids are had fun watching the old man make a breakfast of eggs and bacon on the grill. Had to break out the old perk coffee kettle for the grill too. I think the fun will wear off by the afternoon.

Whew! Lost DSL for about 5 hours. We almost had to bug out.

Seems to be fine now.

I lost a big ornamental shrub and a big Pecan tree early this morning. Still on generator power and expect to be for at least and 24 hours.

We've got 4.9" of rain as of 8:00 a.m. probably had another 2" since then.

Still got beer and gas and plenty of food.

7" of rain at 11:30 a.m.

This is what I mean by large ornamental Camel Head....

Our yard is completely saturated. I sink about a half inch walking through it. The back 40(ft) is underwater and the neighbors back 100 is underwater. We had a few small limbs down, but this next rain band scares me a little.

The house at the end of the road has a pine tree through the roof and my buddy from work has a 100 year old oak tree through the middle of his living room.

Yep, this aint no storm ta worry about I hope all them doubters are shakin in there rain boots about now
