Thanks everyone, got the plywood sorted out and will put the panels up Friday. Pretty much have everything ready except for filling up a bunch of buckets with tap water for washing. Need to drop the level of the pool next.
Worked my bee hives today strapping them down onto their cinder block bases, they weren't happy and popped me twice. Shouldn't of been wearing shorts. LOL
I'm a bit pragmatic about it, what happens will happen, I'm just doing my best to protect what's mine.
I remember back when I was young and dumb going out and body surfing right after a hurricane. Taught me to respect the forces of nature, had a great time but got humbled by the surf.

Bad flooding with any hurricane. 5 feet in the garage. I can't swim, ( grew up in Bronx NY ) so I wear a life jacket during hurricanes.

"That's why you wore shorts" Ha Ha, good one JOG.
I'm all buttoned up, plywood in place and generator sitting on the back porch with 15 gallons of gas ready to go. Dug the camping stove and a propane tank out for cooking when we loose power. Have some lanterns ready and the flashlights all charged up. Four hours of hot work done, now the wait begins.
Wednesday is when they say it will hit or go south or north or over to the gulf, somebody is going to have a bad week here in Florida.
Even found my rain slicker so guess I'm as ready as I can be. The weather channel is calling for a possible Cat 4 at landfall, Yikes !!.

Finalized all my prep today, re-filling plastic spring water bottles with tap water, kind of a no brainer for water storage. Also have about 30 gallons of mixed buckets and jugs for water storage.
Cross braced the roll up shop door with a couple of 2x4's for extra support and wrapped the bike in a tarp. Not sure what else I can do except wait.
Hoping that if the storm rolls up the coast it will hit Canaveral which sticks out into the ocean and will get pushed out off shore some before it gets to Daytona Beach. Even a 10 mile shift off shore will help.
Guess I'll cancel my trip up to St Augustine next week, sounds like that town is going to get seriously flooded.
They are now calling for it to hit my area mid Tuesday. Sad

There is action building in the ocean behind this one also. The ECMWF models are usually the best, but are hard to find. We still have all of Sept. and Oct. to go. Don't like it.

Storm surge and heavy rain. How do you survive a storm that strong when it could last for 24 hours where you are. I would get out of the way...WAY out of the way. Will your house survive 200mph winds ?

Ed, I am in Palm Beach county waiting to see if it wants to come to my place, or go up to see you.
Cloudy, some rain bands passing over, and not much at all for wind. I am 3 miles from the ocean and not too worryed about storm surge. They say 35-50 mph winds overnight tonight, not good, but, could be a lot worse.
Try this site..

All we can do is sit it out, and wait till it's over.

Be safe you will get hit before me.
