Anyone else prepairing for Fay?

[xLIBREx]

We are getting ready here. I'm right on Tampa Bay. Got all the steel shutters laid out, patio cleared, boat in the garage, 50 gallons of gas for the generator, all the cars gassed, plenty of food, water, and supplies.

Hopefully it will be nothing but a practice run.

[Elrathin]

Stay Safe..

[Stoner]

I just moved from Clearwater (although my business is still there). Just got off the phone with one of my employees. Poor dude spent all day boarding up windows and transferring items and paperwork to safe locations. Then he had to go get his house ready.

I live close to Daytona Beach now so we may end up getting some minor wind and heavy rain if it skims up the coast near Tampa Bay.

Good luck and stay safe! If weather turns foul I'll be in the closet clambaking.

[Osborn F. Enready]

Good luck xLIBREx, sounds like you are ready. Its actually got a good chance of affecting us here in Ohio, but nothing like it will affect the coast of course, probably just rain here. (though that alone causes enough problems here)

Keep your powder dry!

[william the wierd]

Libre, keep the faith. Gore has assured that global warming is real which is supposed to reduce the severity of hurricanes. Yes, I know that a few years ago it was supposed to increase hurricane severity but this time they have got it right or so they say. I know how comforting you will find this news.

[Stoner]

Al Gore finally realizes global warming was a farce. He was not pleased.

I'm in Miami and so far we have no school tommorow. I'm missing out on making money damn you Fay! I think Tampa will probably get the worst of it. Just hope for the best Stoner.

I just dodged a rain storm on the way back from the golf course. But thats nothing compared to what you will be facing. May you and your family come through this safely xLIBREx.

Howdy neighbor. I've got two houses to look after at the moment, one in westchase and one in carrollwood. Glad to be a little farther from the water, and glad to have a brand new roof.

Glad to be a little farther from the water, and glad to have a brand new roof.Don't you know it the new roof last month means that if Fay veers right and Jax gets to be ground zero for reentry into the Atlantic as some models predict I can safely pull up the sheets and scream like a school girl. It's much more fun to panic in safety than to be rock for your wife and kids.

I live in westchester thought you misspelled that maybe it was just my notation because I've never heard of westchase or carrolwood.

They're both areas in Tampa.

[Stoner]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Just found out I have to go to Clearwater tonight. Can't leave until shortly after midnight. This is going to suck. May want to be sober for this trip.

I'm hoping the Gandy, Frankenstein or CCC is going to be open. If not I'll have to take the Veterans down to Tampa Rd. Should be ok. I don't believe the storm will hit until Wednesday afternoon.

You guys keep your head down and stay safe. You have my best wishes.

If you have to evacuate please for the love of god TAKE YOUR GUNS, that way you will still own them when you return.

Certainly nothing to worry about until 3pm tuesday.

Hmmm this would require picking up a keg.. need a weekend hurricane for this option

Nope, no plans for this one


AKA Head for the hills.
No hills nearby so this is not likely either

Well then know that you people in the area have my blessings.

Last word I had was that Fay is now expected to evacuate over Jacksonville, which means I can't. Medical personnel like my wife are among the last people permitted to evacuate and she is unable to follow the FIDO principle in a bugout. By the time I get her head extracted, packed and ready to ignore the deaders on the road I-10 will be closed and 95 will be very chancy. C'est la Mort if that's the case.

[Stoner]

Well the good news is I don't have to go to Tampa Bay tonight. Bad news is it's heading for where I'm currently at. We get a lot of tornados around here.

It's all good. I have the one-footer out. It repels evil.

Well so far here in miami its just been dirty weather. Rainy and windy. Nothing else pretty much and my neighbor next door lost his electricity. I got lucky my electricity was on another electric grid. But other then that it has been boringggg.

[Truth_and_Power]

Another terrifying hurricane here in tampa.

[william the wierd]

Well if Fay heads north after getting to the Atlantic there might be a NY and New England hurricane. That could have an effect on the election.

[Rage]

I didn't do much prep. I live in POLK, so I got rained on a bunch.

[william the wierd]

The soil is supposed to get so heavily soaked that 10 mph winds may uproot trees,

[Stoner]

Fucking Fay is circling my house.

Bitch.

I will bet you will be on the edge of your seat for a while, good luck to you and you wife William!

[william the wierd]

I will bet you will be on the edge of your seat for a while, good luck to you and you wife William!Thank you. It has so far just knocked down small branches. It came ashore south of us but tomorrow is make or break as far as trees being uprooted due to supersaturation of soil with rain. Beach erosion has probably undermined some south Ponte Vedra mansions and the St.Augustine seawall was overtopped. We may have to self insure starting next July.
