Wind is horrible right now. Friend of mine at the Lake is saying it’s worse down there and heading our way.

Power in Wildwood has been flickering since 6:00ish.

We hunkered down in the basement, but thankfully didn’t even lose power. Hope you’re doing just fine after that craziness!

Was pretty tame where I’m at in Glen Carbon.

Power has been out since 9:00 last night. There must be a cell tower impacted as well because we couldn’t text or browse internet on our phones so, we had no idea what was going on. Weird thing was, we could make phone calls on our cell so we’re able to get updates that way.

I don’t have a generator and ended up buying a couple battery powered air pumps. Hope this wasn’t too late doing that. One urchin dead for sure and my LTA moved out of the rockwork and is laying on the sand.

Sorry. It's hard when you really can't do anything.

Went to damn near every store looking for generators. Of course, no one has any. My buddy Andy was able to borrow one from his employer for me. I’m able to run the tank and a TV. Coolers and runs to the store for ice to keep food and beverages cold.

The mayor of Wildwood posted some areas will be without power until Monday:

That really sucks!!!

Are you going to make it on the generator or do you need a backup plan? I’m sure I could fit some stuff if you need a spot.

Thanks for the offer. I think I’m good. Just have to keep feeding gas to the generator. Thankfully, gas out here is below $3/ gallon lately.

Power came back in at midnight, 27 hours without power.

Lost the Fiji Blue Devil, 6-Line Wrasse and Pincushion Urchin. A couple Acro frags not looking good.

Sorry to hear that.

Last night, the Blue Devil and 6-Line suddenly appeared swimming and healthy. They must have been hiding in the rocks all day Sunday. They did not come out at feeding time on Sunday.

Congrats! Glad they are OK. Personally, I like to give a fish a week before I assume the worst. I once had a fish live in the rock work the entire time I owned it - only found it was still alive when I tore the tank down.

Interesting. These two are generally out moving around all day long. So, when I didn't see them for 24 hours, I assumed they didn't make it.
