Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Well, we are getting drenched here. It’s been raining for 2 days already. My yard has a lot of trees and I hear the winds rustling through them. The eye hasn’t made it here yet but within the next 8 hours will be the worst of it. It became a hurricane but fortunately, when it made landfall, deteriorated back down to a tropical storm. Which is still no joke! Expecting 70 mph winds and power/internet loss. The spaghetti model usually shows a variety of tracks going this way or that way, but uh.. 🤣 welp, we’re doin this! 😆 Edited November 10, 2022 by Chick-In-Of-TheSea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending good vibes your way 🌈 Well we’ve got some canned corned beef and some bread, the peanut butter, I made some protein bars, and we have Campbell’s chunky soup! I filled up some extra containers of water as well. On 11/10/2022 at 5:37 AM, TheSwissAquarist said: Have you been preparing your tanks at all? Yep, I did water changes and fasted them to keep down waste. I have nano pumps with 20000 mAh power banks as well. Last storm they ran 52 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everyone in the region is doing ok. Wind is a crazy thing when it gets turned up that high. Where I am at we usually have a few months of some pretty intense stuff. High altitude, no trees or anything and it definitely makes me want to have a little shelter for my tanks and pups. They still haven't understood what it actually is, but they often back at everything moving because they get upset by it. The pups I mean.... I am sure if I had a ram it would bark at the wind though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if I had a ram it would bark at the wind though! The winds didn’t seem to have that many effects. Few downed power lines here & there. The main concern is flooding for many areas. And half of one guy’s house got taken by the sea. Saw it on the news. From the street the house looks lovely. Garage, front door, windows, normal house. Step inside a few feet and look down: ocean. The storm surge out at the coast is super dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Today we had our first taste of Xtreme and we enjoyed it! Up to this point we ate big box food.

He seems to be enjoying his new digs and he also has a "secret passageway" between the rocks. He stays close to his bubble nest and returns to it often after swimming around.
