Most of the times, we will pre-position some assets around an event...honestly, I am not sure WTF is going on....a Major HU and barely a peep!

Got a few calls to see if I was available...
but damn....we should already be enroute...

maybe we left all of our helos in Afghanistan

Any of you guys ever use this type design magnet before ? https://www.vevor.com/products/400k...1414145220706&utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=US

Not sure if the storm made it to a Cat 5 or not... but it must have come close.

I guessed 5... i saw it earlier at 150... which is only 6-7 miles per hour difference.

It made land fall... and i see current is 130.

sheesh... which can be still catastrophic.

 

[RTR]

Yes it a big one or as someone says Bigly

For a few hours I was thinking it was heading right for New Orleans, now it turned at 8pm. Quite the hook it was doing.

375 LBS "Pulling Force", not lifting power. Two different powers involved there.
I probably have a magnet that came out of a large hard drive that would out preform that, and it's surface area 2 sq.in. 1/2 thick

The other is a simple box that the lever moves the magnet to the bottom surface, then retracts it, so item is released.
Pictures on sit is impressive, but the disclaimers are what they are basically saying-it won't do.
Big flat surface to flat surface yup that will lift that amount.

Whilst you magnet lifters iron this on out...

I am going to going to flatten out... so...

off like a cherry on a sundae on a roller coaster ride.

C u internet brothers and sisters in the AM.

Have a good night my online friends.

Apparently New Orleans is completely out of power probably the least of their worries unfortunately.
