If you go swimming in the ocean, please remember:
In the event of being caught in a rip tide DO NOT FIGHT IT and attempt to swim directly back in to the beach; you will only get tired and then drown. Swim parallel w/ the beach and you will eventually get out of it and able to get back.
Watch for changes in the water color and if that corresponds to areas where the waves aren't breaking (or breaking as much), that's likely a rip tide.
Im entertaining going to the Tanner doodad tomorrow as I have never been to a gun show. Maybe.
That's almost word for word what the weather advisory said.

Don’t pay out on that siding, they had the grill too close to the house while cooking in the hurricane.
Or had the flamethrower out when the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.
I ran into this sunset a minute ago. A lot less color in the wide angle.

I like the waves in this one.

Nice. How could anyone look at those colors & not feel happy? Thanks Irving
I didn't have time to try and swim during those few days. I probably would have today since it went down by half, but that actually looked pretty intimidating so I wasn't going to try.Quote:

I'm torn on paying for the siding. On one hand, I like to pay for whatever I can reasonably get away with and really try not to nickle and dime people. On the other hand, I really don't like being lied to, and after he tried to convince me there used to be a dock there, I'm a little irritated. On the Gripping Hand, when writing damages for a Cat 5 Hurricane, a lot of stuff gets paid for that wouldn't otherwise and people are generally very happy about that.Quote:

Google maps has the year in the bottom of the corner. You can also download Google Earth and scroll back through the years and see what was on the property in those past photos. I also inspected the property two doors down and everything they have that was built within the last 3 years shows up in the photos. I did another house across the lake that had a roof installed 3 days before the storm hit, and you can see the old roof in that photo. This carrier ordered a lot of Eagle Views for me, and some of those pictures were so new that they were taken after the storm, but before I inspected, so I could actually see how large the trees on the roof were before they were pulled down before I got there. This one has an Eagle View, but it wasn't after the storm. Either way, they are lying. That's good info on that sat image though. Especially for when I'm looking at stuff where I can't even tell what the building looked like before the storm knocked it to the ground. That picture a few pages back where most of the Florida room was laying in the pool is a perfect example. I've got a lot of claims where I take a picture of some foundation, then walk across the yard, or even into the neighbors yard and take a picture of the debris pile to tell what was there (metal shed, vinyl shed, stick built shed, etc).
