<p><strong>Looking back those 63 years I do not remember how in the world I was able to sneak out of the house while in the middle of the storm of the century, but I did. It was <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/hazel-1954/87956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October 1954 and hurricane Hazel</a> was pounding the East coast with a fury that wrought devastation along its path. Hazel we later learned had recorded gusts at the Philadelphia international airport of 100 miles per hour and sustained winds in the 80&#8217;s not the kind of weather one wanted to be out in unless you were an dumb kid wondering what all the fuss was about.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Now many decades later watching the news about hurricane Harvey and its wake of destruction is better understood because of my youthful indiscretion. Though we did not have anywhere where near the level of flooding felt in Texas the carnage that was wrought by the winds and rain we received did alter many people&#8217;s lives. Put that together with my recent displacement by a construction crew here to finally repair hail damage, to my roof and ceiling, I learned first hand what it felt like to remove all your possessions during their repair work and I have a minuscule taste of some of those in the path of hurricane Harvey.<br />

<p><strong>Siting here and watching daily the ever rising number of people being &#8216;saved&#8217; from their flooded homes gives rise to hope that no more will die because of the storm. The faces of those rescued alight with happiness at being rescued tinged with the uncertainty of what faces them in the future. Due to the massive amount of rain that fell in the past few days it is obvious these fortunate people though their lives are secure their future is not. It will be weeks maybe months before they can return to their homes and that will just be the beginning. What will they face when they do return&#8230; not only the possible loss of much of their possessions, but for some homes that are too water damaged to repair.</strong></p>

                                                                                         As witnessed by some of you over the years I have absolutely no background in writing..... but I believe I have an abundance of common sense and can recognize when things are out of whack. I also still use as my foundation for life and writings the Bible and the Constitution.

This blog contains the musings, rantings and the infrequent well thought out writings of an 71 year old curmudgeon living off grid and far into the wilderness of Northern Alaska. For more about how I ended up on the edge of nowhere see 'about Pete' in the menu bar. Within this blog there are postings on almost every subject from prepping for disasters to flying saucers and from politics to families and love. I have touched on subjects from HAARP to ham radio and have taken you on a drive up the Dalton highway and out into the wilderness hunting Moose and Bears. 

I encourage and welcome every comment because they mean my writing has struck a cord within you. Whether it be in agreement or in opposition to my posting it will be approved for publication, because I not only voice my support of freedom of speech I publish it! I rarely 'reply' to comments openly on my blog but prefer to email you and respond that way. I feel the comments section is a blog of sorts for those that read my postings.</div>
