Good luck Jesse! The truck can be repaired and then you will have battle stories! Harder to repair humans, stay safe!

Hang on over there!!! Fortunately (if you can say that about a typhoon) it had an eyewall replacement the past 12 hours, which weakened it (a little). Give us an update when you are able. 🤞

Living in south Louisiana, I know that exact feeling when hurricane is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. Many restless nights not knowing what you are going to wake up to.

I read you post too fast. I thought you said you had an eyeball replacement. :crazy:

Typhoon Mawar flips cars, cuts power on Guam as scope of damage emerges in US Pacific territory

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Powerful Typhoon Mawar smashed the U.S. territory of Guam and continued lashing the Pacific island with high winds and heavy rain Thursday, knocking down trees, walls and power lines and creating a powerful storm surge that threatened to wash out low-lying areas.

The typhoon, the strongest to hit the territory of roughly 150,000 people since 2002, briefly made landfall Wednesday night as a Category 4 storm at Andersen Air Force Base on the northern tip of the island, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Patrick Doll.

The storm strengthened to 150 mph (241 kph) winds the following morning, regaining its status as a super typhoon, according to the weather service. Mawar was forecast to intensify further.
As it churned slowly over the island, the typhoon flipped cars and ripped branches from trees. At what felt like its peak intensity Wednesday night, the winds screeched and howled like jets flying overhead and rainwater rushed into some homes.

The early scope of the damage was difficult to ascertain, with power and internet failures making communication with the far-flung island difficult. The governor and lieutenant governor were making their way after daylight arrived to assess the damage, weather service meteorologist Landon Aydlett.

“It looks like toothpicks,” Aydlett said. “It looks like a scene from the move ‘Twister,’ with things just thrashed apart. Lots of Guam is dealing with a major mess that’s going to take weeks to clean up.”

think happy thoughts and where's @AzScorpion to tell you graphene 303 will clean up any dings
Leave the dings alone. You can spend the insurance money on accessories, and the pockmarks improve aerodynamics and improve your gas milage; think golfballs.
