hurricane Irma

[ZEROPILOT]

Irma looks pretty bad and is headed for what looks like a south Florida impact. (What else is new?)
Good luck to anyone affected by this thing.
Be pepared.

I'm watching the Nats play the Marlins in Miami and they mentioned that they are thinking about evacuating the Keys.

It's still too early to tell but I wish it would head north fast and stay out to sea.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

You see them coming all the time. And then they turn.
I'm not sure why this one bothers me so much. It's still a few days out. Maybe it's the name?
Any local members. FYI: I repair generators. Contact me if yours doesn't start. It's free, unless I need to buy parts.

Take care and good luck, everyone back there.​

Now a category 5 storm

It's busy in the Atlantic, Jose is forming behind Irma..

Went to 2 different grocery stores yesterday, and both were already sold out of water and batteries.People are preparing which is a good thing, seen too many people ignore in the past. Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best.

Man, I hope she turns and calms down...

 

[ZEROPILOT]

That's the thing....
Everyone in this locale should buy everything that they might need at the very beginning of hurricane season each year. But few do.
And pre test your generator and secure anything loose.
However in 175 mph winds...everything will get loose. But don't wait to get anything.
It gets too late very quickly. There is no water to be found already. For example.

True
No one is mentioning Jose, either.

Pack your stuff now bro so you can be ready to leave

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Neighbors that I don't even know are bringing me old, crappy generators to repair.
A lot of them have decade old hurricane Wilma gas in them.
Nasty.

Leave where?
The whole peninsula is under threat.
I'll just stay and keep a blow up raft handy.

Up and out of Florida

Up and out of Florida

I'll be doing that permanently in about another year.

Stay safe Ed!! Same to any member in Florida!

 

[CharlieM]

We just made arrangements to relocate 25 horses and staff. The birds, turtles and tortoises will all go inside. Fingers crossed it misses us.

We are in Lehigh FL. Down South My property is 30 miles from Coast & 30' above sea level. I wouldn't leave my animals anyway.

We will just gather family & have a storm party.
A pool for flushing toilets, grill to cook , tiki torches outside & candles inside.

I should get a few cases of beer though - just in case.

( forgive my jokes , but humor gets me through stuff)
