Hurricane Ian
#1

Looks like this thing is going to hit us right in the teeth tonight and tomorrow as we are just outside of Punta Gorda, FL.  Reasonably confident that we’ll be ok.  Slides in and coach lowered.  Our casita is built to withstand hurricanes like this.  Will let you know the outcome in a couple days as I am also sure we will lose power in the casita and won’t be back on the coach until all is clear.

Terry,

Good luck with the hurricane.

Will you leave the coach connected to power…or will you run on batteries? I would think there will be a large number of spikes in the power during the storm. (At least until the utility poles are knocked down).

Be safe and let us know how you fare.

Staying connected to power with my Hughes Power Watch Dog in line. Should be ok.

Thanks.

Checking in here.
We evacuated near Defuniak Springs, FL which is about 100 miles west of Tallahassee and 100 miles east of Pennsacola.
Our house is without electricity, 15" and more of rain so far. Unknown what damage around the house has occured.
The most important news is Natalie and I are out of harms way.

It's amazing how that occurs during these storms! His place still standing and all others gone. For him a blessing.
