A GOOD Florida Man story!

In case you’re interested. Neat way to help stop storm surge from ruining you home or business.

Good advice for any business or home owner.
Even if all you do is make just a small difference, that could really mean everything.

I used Flex Seal to seal around the flange of a new vent stack on the roof a relative’s house some years ago. No leaks.

This man may have just changed the future of those in the path of hurricanes forever.
I imagine expert or establishment types coming against this. They tend to hate someone who is too clever for conventional wisdom.

The insurance industry may even start paying people in hurricane-prone areas to do this to their homes.

I’m wondering how much trouble it is to remove it later; but I guess that’s better than dealing with feet of water...

I like spray foam.
My wife hates it.
When I use it, I often underestimate expansion. That usually doesn’t bother me.
It bothers her.

Maybe a new product...Flex Wrap...rolls-—6 or 12 ft wide. One end has holes for anchoring/sealing.

The bad news is that his store was last seen floating off the Bay of Pigs.

I am about 20 miles inland north of Tampa. I had the duct tape ready.

Just build the whole house of out of flex tape and you’re golden.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Interesting story. Spray foam sounds not-so-good because it absorbs the water. How would you ever scrape that stuff off? The Flex Seal sounds more promising.
I've known folks around here who have used plain old vanilla caulk around their doors. Seems to work well. Pretty easy to remove too. They swear by it.
