That's great news! Hope your insurance claim goes through for any other damages your house may have sustained.Koronin said:Update to the above. Not leak in the roof. Water came in where the attic vent is at. Also reset the fuse at the plug (many of our plugs have fuses) and everything in the garage is working again.

Here in Eugene it's about 66F and it's trying to rain, this summer we broke a record on days without rain. Unlike the fine folk on the east coast we could really use a decent downpour right about now, the air is just foul!
dusty red roads said:That's good news for you, I've seen nothing from my friend yet, hopefully by another week or so he'll be back online. He's not a giant social media user anyway.
He's okay. He wrote he just got internet back on after 2 weeks, they didn't suffer any damage and aren't near any floods. I had thought his internet (and maybe power) were out and that he was fine, but you never know, the images coming out of there have been terrible!Koronin said:I hope you hear from your friend soon.

Unchained said:I was concerned that there was some cowboy B.S. Going on..people were told to evacuate but instead thought they "would ride it out" ..there is nothing heroic about staying behind..many people will risk life and limb to save boneheads that don't listen...
If this kind of a weather pattern were to become a regular thing, would you consider moving elsewhere?Koronin said:If there is a mandatory evacuation they don't necessarily come save you if it's too dangerous. The except to this is if a shelter becomes threatened by the hurricane, then they do come to rescue to people as they did follow the evacuation order. The reason we evacuated when Florence hit was because it was so slow moving and the amount of rain it was going to dump. We knew we'd loose power and weren't sure if we'd be able to get out of the neighborhood.
My husband would have to be able to get a transfer and it would have to be someplace we are both willing to live. There are states in this country I will not consider living. We won't stay here when we retire, but that's at least 12 or so years away for my husband. Add another 8 or so years for me. If we can retire on just his retirement our plan is to move out of the country when he retires.Tricycle Rider said:If this kind of a weather pattern were to become a regular thing, would you consider moving elsewhere?Koronin said:If there is a mandatory evacuation they don't necessarily come save you if it's too dangerous.

The river also started overflowing in my hometown Innichen/San Candido, we also had many landslides and the road to Cortina was closed because of a lake overflowing.Nirvana said:This afternoon my PWS on the rooftop of the house registered a peak wind of 179 km/h during a downburst generated by the passage of a large squall line. I've seen a lot of strong downbursts during summer convective thunderstorms but never something like that, for some minutes looked like to be during the passage of the eyewall of an hurricane, not far from my house the roof of a swimming pool collapsed during the event and there were damages almost everywhere in a very large area with shingles and TV aerials and dishes taken away from roofs, trees pulled down and various damages in external parts of buildings.
Near the coast was even worse with peak winds beyond 200 km/h mark in the Arcipelago island of Montecristo, but almost all Italy suffered from severe events related to the cold front that approached from western Med, I've seen photos of Terracina (in Lazio) with buildings collapsed and trees destroyed, probably there was a tornado generated by a mesocyclone, along the Adriatic Sea surfs generated by prefrontal Sirocco flooded streets and buildings near the coast and an exceptional high tide flooded more than 80% of Venice streets with the 156 cm over mean sea level registered at Punta della Salute that was the 4th highest high tide ever.
