The longest any hurricane season has gone without a named hurricane occuring anywhere in the Atlantic Basin is September 11th.

Next Spring--buy the whole house generator!Joanimaroni wrote:Bob it's all because I broke down and bought that damn generator, never used it. I guess if I bought the whole house generator we would be off the hurricane path entirely.
That's true. But Opal was a Cape Verde storm born off the coast of Africa on September 11th. If Masters' assessment holds true, even if a Cape Verde storm develops this late it will likely curve north and miss the U.S.stormwatch89 wrote: I still remember Opal, Oct.4 and just can't relax yet.
5 minutes later they called? Wow, that's kind of scary.cool1 wrote:I feel like ive been through a hurricane --had problems all week with power --yesterday all day no power---all week it kept going off --I had someone put a new breaker in ---boy did I get in trouble --5 min after he did it gulf power called--did you take the meter out I said ummm maybe
then I got a lecture--and they said ok then my meter got real hot again -they showed up the next day ---I was like ohhh nooo so they wanted to take my meter --but they left it in till Monday-- $1000 later and my lights are fine geeze----they had to rebuild the whole thing all the way up--and that is a discount -usually runs double that amount --the whole box had to be replaced everything right when I couldn't hardly breathe and ready to get a motel room they showed up I was sooo hot.
Well I've now learned that aint exactly true. No direct hits, but two hurricanes which formed in the Caribbean did have some impact on us.Bob wrote:
About the only thing to worry about now is a storm forming in the Caribbean or the lower Gulf. But the good news is that no major storm of that kind has ever impacted our area.
oh my goodness !Nekochan wrote:Oh no, Cool. Sorry about your troubles. I know very little about electricity. But we are doing a kitchen remodel and you know how things snowball when you start these projects. You think you're spending $300 on an over the range microwave but then it turns into an extra $700 for a new electrical panel that's needed. And our box outside is not in great shape either, so it will need to be replaced at some point.
