Getting prepared? Dei, I am assuming that you got your generator from the hippie thread. I guess as soon as we can fly in there (restricted air space over Cuba ) we will know more huh?

Yep... now that I moved out to the coast, my plan of walking over to Disney if it gets bad and I lose power/water isn't going to work so well. I miss living a quarter mile away from Disney World.

Plus, I just looked around the other day and noticed all the 40ft trees waiting to fall on the power lines in this subdivision that hasn't even been in a storm yet. And it seems I have more glass than brick on the exterior walls of my house, I wish someone would send me some Hurricane Tape for testing.

No problem, we're just going to have a little wind and rain and we need the rain bad...

And the roads at the hunting camp should be nice and muddy this weekend......

Maybe Ocala too, ready to go back yet?

We all need the rain. We hope it runs right up here... Just after I get the giant dead tree removed. It can reach the house....

I hope I have time.....

Thanks CP, shouldn't be bad here really. Did change the oil in the generator last night and fired it up for the first time in a couple of years. I think AndyC and Jason are going to get far worse than us but not too bad. Now go kick that cold.

So you have the small trees up there

Luckily I only have a couple of more 80 footers that I need to worry about. Lost about 6 others 2 years ago. What a freaking mess

We are not that worried to be honest - I pride myself on my extremely high level of being completely unprepared. Plenty of booze and ammo on hand - and yes I did fire up my generator this morning and amazingly it started.

Heres to a few days of good BBQ plenty of drinking, talking to my neighbours (we only ever see each other during hurricanes) and not having to do any work - except pulling trees out of my pool.

I am currently not watching any television, I made the mistake of looking at channel 4 news last night - the graphics they use are amazing - the only thing missing were the four horsemen of the apocalypse - they were making it look like a 200 mile wide 40,000 mph tornado raining death and destruction upon us, they even had this green smog like radioactive cloud looking thing in its wake.
