Bill, you are as cruel a man as it is flat down here:)

Bought a bunch more supplies last night - we're good for a few weeks.  Also grabbed another 20 gallons of gas. Today is cleaning out the garage so I have a place to put outside furniture, etc.

Right now, they are worried about Tampa getting swamped in storm surge but SoFl looks like it is going to take it on the chin.

That's Nemesis for ya - for living where the sun shines every day ;)

Hang in there though!

I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible. But, pissing everyone off is a piece of cake!

dogboy

yeah, as of right now, I agree. No idea if it can change though.  I know in the past it gained speed before hitting, and they also have zigged when they should have zagged.

I dont know... I bought a bunch of food and water, and 20 gallons of gas. You know what they say - 'Better safe than without toilet paper':)

It's better to be safe than sorry, that's what I say.
Besides, I'm sure it's stuff you will use eventually, (hopefully) if things don't go as planned.

Best of luck

BTW, here's an action plan if you get stuck

We are thinking alike, Chunkford.

Believe me, I'm getting ready for some Hurricanes...

I thought you were buying land somewhere outside of Florida, DB?  What happened with that idea?  Weren't you looking for some quiet, mountainy place?

dogboy

yeah, up in the Smokeys, but everything is is dependent upon the sale of this house down here...

Right now I'm trying to figure out if I should shutter the house or not.  I don't think I'm going to right now.  Its only a tropical storm... I moved all the furniture in. I guess I'll make the call tomorrow. The only time I was ever in a Typhoon was in Siberia, but that was in winter - so it's hard to imagine what warm and rainy would be like, but I can tell you it was pretty intense getting around outside. I actually questioned some of the structures we were in too and it was only a Cat 1.

I'm confused...I thought you had that house SOLD!??
