Hurricane Mathew
I'm sitting here on the farm in a 45' RV in Ft. Lauderdale waiting for Hurricane Mathew. There is no way I can move the RV because the ground is too soft. My question is, do I leave the jacks down or ...

Well I'm just 3 miles N.N.W of Exit 49 on I-95 (Cox Rd) and it was not all that bad here. My daughter said entire county was under mandatory but only thing I heard is east of I-95... Surge was 9 Feet peak they tell me, I'm at 15, Power is still a bit "iffy" just went out here for about 15 minutes than back on.
I've done a bit of re-wiring here. I now have one small fan that is connected Directly to the Park's power box.. It is the only thing on that outlet so no chance of overloading the 50 amp breaker feeding this site.
If power goes out that fan stops.. I may well not notice save for the loss of that fan.. When power returns that fan comes back on.. 3 minutes later (well 173 seconds) Power returns to the rest of the coach.
Meanwhile I'm off line (Park Routers rely on shore power) but can continue to watch TV, Cook dinner, or whatever (Those systems are all on the Prosine). I can even continue to compose on the comptuer or play Solitaire.
