Generator is checked out and running OK and we'll start bringing things in tomorrow. Don't think we'll need to board up here in Central Florida. The models are saying it will be a cat 1 (hopefully just a cat 1 or less) when it hits. I hope, if it does hit, it scoots along and gets out of here. Don't want another Frances.
What you say is so true! In spite of getting hammered in 2004 - with 4 hurricanes - we always knew what to have on hand and now are getting better at it. I don't feel panicked at all -my windows have all been replaced at my new home with 130 mph windows and /or rolldown shutters,generator, rolling airconditioner and all my supplies in a big tupperware box. Florida has had an active plan for years - unlike showboat Nabin and the incompetent Gov from LA. They still don't have a damn plan!
