Hate to say it, but the next hurricane is just around the corner. It became a tropical storm last night, will be hurricane by Thursday and will be a major hurricane by Sunday. It is projected to turn slightly north so if we are lucky it will keep turning north and pass between the coast and Bermuda. If not, this will hit the US by the end of next week... before many people have their power back or repairs done. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/144553.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents - http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/144553.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I sure hope it peters out before hitting the mainland! The NE can't handle another storm this fast. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

My heart can't handle another storm this fast.  That is to say, the last one kept me up for a couple of nights and I'm currently enjoying a reprieve from the bane of weather disturbance. ------------- 2010 Rpod 172 :) 2004 Chevy Trailblazer |

Latest update shows it turning towards Bermuda. Bad for them, good for us. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

... and now the latest update shows it turning slightly south again in a few days, putting it back on course to be a glancing blow to the Carribean and a direct hit to the US and Bermuda. As a category 3+. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I guess we'll the water tank full in the 'pod....
Our water plant and sewer plant were both flooded and lost their electrical powered equipment on Sunday. We got permission to use water and full sanitary sewer today. ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |

We're hoping to get out on the last weekend of September...and then again in October... ] ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |

We often camp there all of October, so maybe we'll see you there.
