Our First Atlantic Tropical Storm: Arthur. Update

[airboatr]

The wave formed Saturday spinning off squalls that came in like a wall.
It stripped the nearly ripened (snif ) mangos from the tree and knocked the service wire down to the neighbors house.
One pole of the service found the support cable for the phone box and put on a little show.

'Arthur' sound like someone who's coming round to fix things, not break them.

Blimey are they changing to Flash Drive now for telephone calls!

Sorry Joe, You take care now.

I just thought I'd mention, If I seam a little grumpy over the next few months, it's because my Chutney supply has been cut in half by the storm.

[DaveB]

That would be enough Joe

Hi Joe,
Amazed that people are allowed to grow anything on power poles.
The electricity retailers here cut back anything within cooee of their poles and wires.

Oh, nearly forgot, Happy Underpants Day.

EDIT For some odd reason, though it's still 23:15 4th July, the post has been timestamped 0:15 5th July
