I took all of the140mph of hurricane Ian in my roof. No major damage. Roof and garage door.
However, the situation was very scary, specially by myself and my 2 dogs.
I saw a miracle whereas the sea (4’ white caps) was coming from the canal to inundate the house.
And all of a sudden the wind changes in the opposite direction. Much stronger than the water.
They were fighting for an hour or so, until the wind won, and the water started residing 2” from my pool.
My wife was in Germany at the time, so she didn’t see what I saw.
I plan to evacuate next time I hear category 4. Or 3. Maybe even 2. By myself. My wife will stay put.
Ignorance is bliss. Good luck to her and the dogs.
Now the question: I have several flashlights in this category. I’m planning to take an Olight M2R, an Acebeam EC65 and I need a 18650 for distance.
Maybe I have it. But I can’t find anything out of the shelves. As in boxes.
I found a Convoy that can do the trick, but is too big to carry in this situation.
I’m tied up to the 18650 because I vape. And that’s what the equipment takes.
I have the Fenix WT25R for a few months now, and today i got the Fenix E12 V2.0 and im very pleased with both of them, and they are a very nice combo for a normal and small size !
You might still be able to use your 18650s in it if they’re long enough, you can pad them out sideways with o-rings or a cardboard tube to stop them rattling. Or even plastic if you have the skills. (You can leave the cardboard/plastic tube in there as one less thing to think about.)
For a throwy 18650 an Emisar D1 springs to mind, with one of the white flats in it.
I’ve found the long aluminum tube that comes with the EC65. I think from the L18… I don’t remember in which light it came. But is a go now. Will check the Emisar D1. Thanks!!!.
I am still digesting that you said you would leave your wife behind and take your light and head out. That statement will impress many people on this forum, LOL
I think I’ve found a light that can fulfill my purpose. 484 meters throw.
Acebeam P16. I have the L17, but it’s too big.
I’ll let you guys know how it goes when the order gets here.
Cheers.
