He's headed right over my house, and the poor Vibe's stuck outside. Right now it's very dark and rainy (hopefully we don't get any hail). Not again...

Last advisory (5PM, 08/27) has Ernesto making landfall in the Sarasota area, but that will most likely change. Living in South Florida I've become accustomed to keeping on top of the advisories. The predictions for Ernesto started with a path from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle. Every advisory since then has moved it east and south. There's still alot of time and the path can go anywhere in the cone. Everyone in FL or in the Gulf states should be keeping a close eye on this. Here's a link to the National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Now, he's heading more east, with any luck (lots of luck) he'll go even further east and miss us completely...

Ernesto decided that I needed one less tree in my yard, a towering tulip poplar, he thought it would look better in/on my garage. I can deal with the damage to the structure, such is life, but that tree impact flung off a branch over the house that smashed the windshield in the Vibe. Also popped the glass out of the driver's side rmirror. Doesn't look like any other damge worth mentioning though. Guess I was lucky, if I had parked the car in the garage, I'd be an ex-viber tonight.Might post a pic whenever I get power/broadband back but for now dial up suxWill be Tuesday before I get the windshield replaced. Tomorrow I'll be spending a lot of time driving my Stihl Edit 9/4 - Looks like the mirror mount is actually broken, just a little, but enough. Here is the windshield and dialup still sux. Best I can get today 26.4

Wowsers! Sorry to hear about your damage. Whodathunk that Ernesto would have impacted Maryland?

[joholste]

Finally got the new windshield today, I missed my car. I had a wiper incident a year or two ago which left an arc etched into the glass on the passenger side, and also a large star from a stone, so now I have a nice clean unbroken windshield, so some good has come of all of this. Attached is a pic of the tree on the garage before wee started cutting. Had to get creative at one point to support the thing fron underneath so that when we cut the load bearing branches off the roof of the house the whole thing didn't plow all the way through the broken garage roof. The tree was a little over 2 foot diameter, I'm estimating about 80 feet tallStihl makes excellent chainsaws
