Waiting for Matthew

Post by FloridaClay »

Hurricane Matthew is supposed to make landfall here tonight. If power is out for days afterward, as I anticipate it will be, I may be the only source for music in the neighborhood.

To all our friends in Florida and along the Southern Coastline:
Stay Safe and Dry! Our thoughts are with you, hoping that listening to the Phonograph is the worst impact you may have.

I wish you Southern members the best of luck. I lived in South Dade for several years before I went into the Military. I had my share of hurricanes. Make sure your springs are wound tight and use you kerosene lamps if you have them. God speed and good luck.

Went through Francis, Jean and Wilma in 2004-05 when I lived in West Palm. Even with good hurricane shutters, it was very scary sitting in the dark wondering what I was hearing bounce off the roof. We were fortunate though, no major damage - just inconvenience. Hope you make it through unscathed. keep us informed.

I hope that our neighbors to south will all be okay, and some lucky ones find themselves listening to one of Clay's favorite machines.

Batten down the hatches and stay safe!

Best,
Fran
