Currently sitting at home about 200 miles north of Hurricane Harvey which is expected to head our way by Sunday. Luckily the beer fridge is full.
Tropical cyclones of Category 3 and higher are described as major hurricanes in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins. These storms can cause some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings, particularly those of wood frame or manufactured materials with minor curtain wallfailures. Buildings that lack a solid foundation, such as mobile homes, are usually destroyed, and gable-end roofs are peeled off. Manufactured homes usually sustain severe and irreparable damage. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures, while larger structures are struck by floating debris. A large number of trees are uprooted or snapped, isolating many areas. Additionally, terrain may be flooded well inland. Near-total to total power loss is likely for up to several weeks and water will likely also be lost or contaminated.[5]
Thanks, we are all prepared with plenty of water, food, candles and booze for a week if required.I was going to make a light hearted remark about how nice the weather looks in London, but then I googled Harvey.
I hope you and your loved ones (and everyone else in his path) stay safe.![]()
I like your thinking, but I haven't worked how to stop when the tail wind is > 100mph.Can't you go searching for that perfect tail wind?![]()
Flew over your way two weeks ago, to Puerto Vallarta. Scheduled to return to Gatwick tomorrow afternoon, which could be interesting.Currently sitting at home about 200 miles north of Hurricane Harvey which is expected to head our way by Sunday. Luckily the beer fridge is full.

I wonder how that would work out?Can Trump not say something to make it change course?
You stop when you run out of road.I like your thinking, but I haven't worked how to stop when the tail wind is > 100mph.
You've never been in a hurricane I'm guessing.You stop when you run out of road.
