First I rode out Helene at Bell, and
got a pine tree down on my AC.
Then drove down south to Clearwater to
board up the house for MIlton while everyone were evacuating
North.
National Weather Service tricked me.
They had published max gusts of 78mph, then published 55mph and I
decided to ride it out in the house. A bit later they published
predicted gusts of 75 mph (too late for me to move to a shelter).
Fortunately the house took the beating with no real damage.
Just got back from Thomasville GA
fly-in. Had a melted bake line that some nice folk there helped
patch with a coupling. Looks like the nylon line from master to
slave melted near the exhaust pipe. Had been shielded by the
engine mount but somehow got moved.
Tracy is still in Colorado. One of his
brothers here got a tree down on his camper but handled that.

Anybody hear from Finn or anyother Florida Rotary fliers about
impact of Milton/Helene on them??
