Oddest thing I saw cleaned off the shelves today at the grocery store was baked beans :shrug: So if you see Venice/Englewood areas of Florida named as disaster stricken on the news in the days after it make landfall and your someone that donates supplies etc., please toss a can of air freshener in with whatever you donate :laugh:

It'll be like the campfire scene in blazing saddles, except well all be huddled around a bonfire made out of the trusses of our roofs :blink:

Wonder if my coleman propane stove works on methane?

Yeah ..we rotate our supplies and use the stuff that have near expiration dates after each hurricane season and buy more new stuff every year to grow the supply back to comfort level..we got an extra fridge i keep at least 140 bottled waters and more stored all year coz we're on a well..i like at least 2 months of supplies..first aid,prescription meds..5 small fire extiguishers..everyone needs to do this no matter where you live......looks like I'll take my last minibike ride of the week and stash them in the shed ..then on to other stuff if gets closer..

People need to leave and go north now. That hurricane looks like it will spend some time in Florida as a cat 3 and 2 even after it makes landfall. Then finally get down to tropical storm level near the Georgia line. If it remains on the forecasted path.

Raskin, did you fire up your generator and make sure it is ready?

Yeah we're going to hang at the house, weather report just keeps getting better and better. NOT!
Okay hurricane winds, 6-12" rain, and then they toss in Polk County (where I live) TORNADOES POSSIBLE!

All we need now are the locusts to show up.

I hope everyone comes through this OK. I don't think you can be too prepared. In the meantime it seems as though the whole west coast is on fire. My buddy who lives in the Columbia River Gorge had to evacuate because the fire is within 1/2 mile of his house.

Tom a friend on mine posted this on Facebook a few days ago. She is an EMT in Silverdale, WA.

Edwards Washington looking over the gorge at Cascade Locks area. Its a scary comparison that's for sure.
