Hurricane Matthew - Richard - 10-06-2016

A number of you have asked about our plans regarding the incoming storm. As of right now, we are planning on riding it out. If the forecast is true or close to accurate we shouldn't get more than rain and 40mph wind. 

This decision may or may not be a good one in hindsight. Only time will tell. 

The coach is in the drive, ready to power the house if needed. Diesel tank is full. The fridge and pantry are well stocked. We have a well so water shouldn't be a problem. 

Forrest and Cindy are marooned here with us, so it's good to have experienced hurricane folks to hold our hands.

Thanks to all of you who have expressed concern, I will post as this situation progresses.

That's the way. Stayed in Galveston through Ike in 08. Had a bus conversion with 10 k gen and 160 gal fuel.
Powered the house [no ac] and all my neighbours [when they returned to their places] refrigerators, for 2 weeks 
till the power was restored.  I think we cleaned Home Depot out of all their extension cords.
Bus had a propane Primus system, little like a aqua-hot, so had hot showers everyday.

So far it has been a non event at our location. We are/were far enough west that we have 25 mph wind and a little rain.

Thanks for all the calls and texts.
