Tropical Weather 2020: August's 1 - 2 Punch
The Gulf has been relatively calm and quiet since TS/Hurricane "Hannah" about a month ago.
Well, hopefully you caught your breath because most of us are going to be holding ours for the next week as TWO tropical systems could potentially affect the Gulf of Mexico...

Still the optimist Tato ;-) lol
Bad weather will probably delay work on the pier through most of next week.
But there is nothing in the forecast yet to indicate imminent danger (i.e. swells over 20 feet).
At least they will have a couple of days to prepare.
This could be a good 'test' to see how how quickly the new panels can be removed and replaced (IF necessary).
Most of the 'old' ones had gotten so rotten and warped, it was impossible to remove them without them coming apart...(RETIRED) mostly.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
