US forecasts severe solar storm starting Thursday

[putnam6]

Yeah, totally blew my right shoulder out.  Tore (3) of the (4) tendons completely off and blew up my rotator cuff (4th tendon was hanging by a thread).  It wasn't a cast, it was having the whole upper right side of my body immobilized for about 2 months and a total of about 6-8 month recovery.  Had to sleep in a chair with my shoulder iced down for the first 2 months because I couldn't lie down.  I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy (well...yeah, maybe I would!  LOL!).  Anyway, that sucked royale!  Had a hip replaced since then and that was a cake-walk compared to the shoulder!  Trust me, don't ever screw up your shoulder...that is NO "fun" at ALL!  (Plus trying to tend to cattle while dealing with that was all sorts of "fun" (not!)).

Yeah, inlaws lost their house on the Chesapeake to a hurricane a long while back.  Your memory must not be that bad because I can't even remember what year that was...long time ago though (pushing 20 years now I think).  Their old place was just a shit shack.  What they rebuilt back is pretty nice (but now 12 feet above grade).  FIL has passed now, but they've been hit by (2) other hurricanes since then.  No damage though because they make everyone build their houses 12-15 feet above grade on these giant concrete foundations.

Ha, my memory of your stuff is based on your avatar of Roland The Gunslinger of The Dark Tower Stephen King Universe fame. 

It always stuck with me and you seem to live an interesting as-hell life and have wide knowledge and experience in an area I've only read about

Shoulder pain is a bitch and a half, I had my right shoulder immobilized for 3 months after I wrecked my dirt bike when I was thirteen, then worked for years lifting and moving inventory and now it's arthritic as hell. I use ice and DMSO a lot nowadays

Nothing like your situation but it's semi-relatable 

I know the Southeast fairly well, but it ain't like the West. One of my daughters has traveled a lot through the West and PNW and she knows how much I love the open spaces. Her pictures videos and descriptions make me want to get and RV and spend time driving out west and seeing the wild frontier
