It's a Cat1 again, headed North to GA and SC.
Even though it's only a Cat1 it's bringing lots of water. Be safe and have your preps ready. |

I was listening in on FOX News and this lady was being interviewed. The reporter asked if she needed any assistance and while sobbing she answered, “No, I’m strong.” That was inspiring yet heartbreaking at the same time.

Add a few bundles of 1 x 2 furring strips - makes securing a tarp to the roof a bit easier. Save the 2 x 4's for covering up windows/doors with the plywood. Add some threaded rod and nuts to your kit. 2 x 4 across the inside of the window - cut long to overlap trim - plywood cut oversized on outside - threaded rod through the 2 x 4 and plywood - use nuts to clamp ply to 2 x 4 so you don't have to screw/nail into your siding or drywall on on the inside. |

The trailer is immovable. Sanibel is a very crowded little island. But, the loss of significant amounts of property may convince city planners to take a more...I don't know...ecological look at development? On one side of the island, there's Ding Darling NWR. Nothing but mangroves as far as the eye can see. I'm sure it took a beating, but will look fine in a couple weeks. On the other side, homes built practically on the beach. A bit of set-back inside of the natural flora may soften the blow a bit. |

but their house is in tact and the vehicle they left there is in good shape as well as their new boat. They lost 80 thousand dollars in vehicles in Ft Myers where they bugged out to. I am so happy for them. |

I might just start a "What a disaster this is" in GD for my sanity and your entertainment. I'm kinda twisted that way... Add a few bundles of 1 x 2 furring strips - makes securing a tarp to the roof a bit easier. Save the 2 x 4's for covering up windows/doors with the plywood. Add some threaded rod and nuts to your kit. 2 x 4 across the inside of the window - cut long to overlap trim - plywood cut oversized on outside - threaded rod through the 2 x 4 and plywood - use nuts to clamp ply to 2 x 4 so you don't have to screw/nail into your siding or drywall on on the inside. Thanks !!! Added to my list !!!!!!!! That was my plan but ideas always help !!! Chris |
