Three inches so far, as of 7:30 this morning, more or less.

Got a report from Palm Springs of the same amount, though main streets are rivers aflow with runoff from the nearby mountains.

I can relate - been there, done that. Sending best wishes to everyone out there.

Question: Do you have enough gas? After Ian, we ran our 9000 watt generator 12-14 hours per day. We ran it outdoors away from the house because of carbon monoxide, then turned it off and moved it into the garage at night to foil thieves. We used 5-6 gallons of gas per day and were without electricity for a week. We used less than 50 gallons of gas but our supply would not have lasted near that long if we had run our generator 24 hours per day.

P.S. - be sure your gas is ethanol-free (“boat gas” it’s called in FL) or the additive will clog the generator’s carburetor.

Thankfully, most of us appeared to be okay.

We didn't have a Cat 5 eyewall like you guys did! Yike. :bemused:

Got a total of 2.94 inches here so that's a plus. Did get windy Sunday night but mainly made the bananas look shredded but all in all it was a great rain for August.
