Re: Latest Hurricane?
My father and borther are getting ready to hunker down in the garage at my father's place. The house is in Boca Raton east of I-95 (no windows and doors braced). Hopefully they will be okay - decided the traffic was too much to deal with.
When my father bought the house 2 years ago I got him a heavy duty commercial generator - he told me I was wasting my money. The garage is a 3 car and has A/C. They have a lot of food, lounge chairs, a portable TV and radio. They keep telling me "don't worry about it".
I worry about them, and I'm booked on a flight down on Sunday morning - fat chance of that flight leaving on time.
Hopefully this storm will move north and "land" in an area that is not too populated so the danger to people is lessened. My best wishes and thoughts go out to everyone who has family/friends and property in the path of this monster.

Joker, let me know where to go. I'll have to wait till they open the bridges to the beach, but I'm just a couple minutes from the Port Orange bridge. I'll be glad to check it out. Email me at [email protected] or call: HOME-386-788-4378 or CELL-386-295-2132 See-ya, Randy-aka-WILDMAN

Re: Latest Hurricane?
House is boarded up, all loose items secured in garage, Got a fridge full of beer, and a freezer full of beef(set on coldest settings), and a full propane tank. I have been filling bags with ice for 2 days, and have 5 coolers lined up in the garage to keep it all for a few days once the power goes out. JayL13 got evacuated from his apartment at Boynton Inlet, so he is here(napping, I musta worked him too hard putting up the shutters today), along with his dog and cat(wife is in PA). Boat is along side the house, I have the trailer secured with cinder blocks under the tongue, and infront, and behind each wheel, it will get tarped, and roped tomorrow. Moved jays Baja indoors at the old Sonic Factory(Doller Marine, thanks Art, and Mindi). We are going to try to rough it out here, hopefully this matchbox stays together!!
Good Luck to Everyone!!! and if anyone needs to go West, call me, we'll make room 954-254-0414
