This is true about Fla, being in central Fla, we don't pay much attention to the hurricanes unless the wind threat exceeds 100mph. The rain storm you will be getting will help refill your rain collection system and water the plants and cars. You may be able to take the canoe for a trip in the neighbor hood on any low areas in the road. If you'll lucky, you'll get a day off work. Man I miss those days... Good luck Blast and party on....

Last big hurricane time we were up to 110mph in the backyard and a couple of our 4x4 fence post snapped and I was getting a little worried about the garage door. Since then I have a new hurricane rated garage door with 4x4 reinforcement, now I just hope the roof will remain strong and not pop off, it made it to 110 mph, but it won't do that forever with the stresses. Once we lost power, we fired up the 12.5 KW Generac generator and everything was ok. Now with the fuel prices and my 80 gallon fuel tank (that is empty), we will definitely have to conserve energy by running it to charge the fridge and freezer for 1 hour and then only turn it back on to sleep at night. It would be nice to be off the grid........
