The bird was here the day of the storm. He's fine. Thanks for asking.
Wonder how all the little critters survive these storms ?
Then go around the next day , business as usual !
I never even thought until I saw a Boobtube video...Boas are swimmers too right?
Damn

What do you feed him? We used to have an Egret that came by for supper. Would only eat "beef" hot dogs.

I trap pinfish or cast net mullet off the dock. Cut em up. Freeze the pieces. Thaw out a few in running water when he comes by. Does a great job eating the lizards. Learned to hold the treats out. Palm of your hand is not good. Pokes 2 holes in your palm. Lol.

Power went off 10:30 Wednesday night.
Wind did not seem as bad as Irma in 2017.
Street flooded.
Lots of trees got cleaned out.
Biggest branch we lost was about 4".
No power all day Thursday, but still had water.
No water is WAY worse than no power.
2004 generator started on first pull with a shot of fluid.
Finished my 240 back feed cable I started in '17 and it worked.
Had ref, kit receps, hall bath and guest BR lights with TV and digital antenna box.
Ran gen 1-2 hours every 2-3 hours until about 9:30pm. Used 4 gal of gas.
Gave neighbor a 3 prong dryer cord so he could back feed his panel through the dryer plug.
Spent the day unboarding and piling debris...slogging into pole barn (about 5" of water) to get mower and garbage cans. Built roof for gen in case it rained.
Power back on yesterday around 10 am.
Spent rest of day hauling debris to street.
Went to check on mom Thursday am. Tornados closer to her.
Larger limbs and trees down.
Mom was OK and had power.

Make sure the main breaker is off while back feeding in case the power comes on. Neighbors house burned down couple years ago when the power came on back feeding.
Also not legal but many do so.

Our place in Port Charlotte got lucky with only minor wind damage to the soffit in the car port. The surge didn’t live up to predictions thankfully. Live to fight another day. Now we can finish the re-furnishing from Ian and hopefully get a couple peaceful decades out of it.
