My brother and his wife live in a mobile home community in Punta Gorda. They went and stayed 12 miles north tag his mother in law’s home, no damage at all at her place only inconvenience was losing power yesterday and it’s still out. Anyway, he drove back to his mobile home a little while ago, and it’s unreal, no damage at from the storm surge or by the winds. Plus his electricity is working, it’s just so surprising, his community street floods normally on just heavy rain storms.

I wonder if they will even want to do much of anything if they are opening a new stadium next year.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. I thought BRC said they were opening the new one next year.

That's good to hear. Hopefully my friends in Punta Gorda will return to a similar situation. From the graphics showing predicted storm surges, it looked really bad.

At times I think we'd all be better off getting weather advice from witch doctors. They'd probably be right about shit more often, and be far less scary while doing it. Plus, no commercials.

I know those things have to be a pain in the ass to put up & take down, but it still seems like a better option than that.

A side note on generators. Everyone that lives in weather areas (me because I live in NE KS and am the last house in KS bordering NE in my area ie. an Owl set down on the power line and I was the only one w/o power) where snow/ice storms/'nados etc should have one. I am not sure about populated areas such as KC where power isn't lost that much.

FL would be a great example. It sounds like most people do.

My point is that maintenance needs to be kept up. How many do?

My most (least) favorite story about generators: I DIDN'T pull maintenance prior to the winter. We get 12" and power went out (last house in KS) at 1:00 am. I have a big fish tank, thus power is important. I drag out the generator from the garage (it has a garage door opener, which didn't work I am in my slippers and robe trying to start the darn thing. My right arm gives out from pulling so I use my left arm. I am now sweating and take off my robe. Cussing about how my stupid self should have check it during the summer.

So I am brilliant, it is so damn cold the oil is too cold. I drag the B&tch in next to the fire place and start a roaring fire (took an hour), sat another hour and thought the oil should be fine. Drag the beast back out into the 12" of snow, still in my skibbies and yank a few more hundred times

Then I thought, you know, you should really make sure the fuel petcock is in the on position. Two pulls. GRRR. I thought I was brilliant, but it turns out I am a dumbass...

An aside, the power came back on 30 min later

End note, buy a generator that has an electric start unless you like to exercise and sweat.

Last note: make sure the battery is fulling charged (another short story)

In conclusion, generator maintenance is important

My bad. Construction starts on the stadium this year. Supposedly, they are playing in the new stadium next year.

Its going to be a whole business/sports/entertainment complex full of high rise buildings. Finishing that part will be 4 years.

We keep building and Mother Nature keeps knocking em down.

Reminds me of that George Carlin bit where he talks about the audacity of man to think they can control the weather and Mother Nature just shakes us off like a dog shakes off water.

I have a funny generator story, for the record it didn’t happen to me. Anyway, I bought a transfer switch when we set up our generator system. The sales guy for the switch said to make sure you lock up your generator after you get it going. I guess some guy started his up during an outage went to bed with it running for the night, he could hear it running from his bedroom. Sometime during the night the power shut off, he didn’t get up to investigate. Morning came around and some asshole grabbed his lawnmower from his shed, started it up to mimic the sound. Shut off the generator and ran off with it. Moral of the story, always lock up your shit.

That is a good one.


Checks the box to lock generator and remember to turn the fuel on.

If the seats are ruined at least they’ll only have to install about 1500 to be at regular capacity for next season.
