One wonders why TP is a top seller during these events. We keep ample supplies on hand all the time.

We were out, so just a normal restocking.

Are you all set and prepared? This is going to be real nasty.

All of you guys in the storm's path, take care and stay safe! Heed any warnings, use your head. Godspeed to all of you, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Good evening all. 69F for the start, overcast, no rain overnight, calm wind. Partial clearing to mostly cloudy in the late afternoon, after some drizzle in early afternoon, light wind, and a high temp of 72F. Choir practice restarted this morning, followed by lawn mowing, followed by trip to town/dentist. Dog walk tonight to end the day's activities.
East coasters good luck with your prep, and be safe!
Randy glad to hear your continued improvement.
Drew, had tornado hit one of the marina on the Mississippi river. Docks and boats were everywhere. Ugly, ugly ugly.
Don good luck on your costume choice.
Prayers for all.

Irv, sorry for the loss of your friend. Sounds like he was a great fellow.
My friend grew up in Croatia until he was 16 (his parents were missionaries).
Seriously, all you guys in the path, make preparations. Roads will be impassable. Power will be out, there will be common food shortages, drinking water. Fill your tubs after you scrub them and charge all your rechargeables. Fill jugs of water and put them in the freezer, you can move them to the fridge if you lose power. Get Batteries. If generators fail, your frozen and refrigerated foods will go bad in a couple of days. Meds, and such. Then after the storm, mosquitoes, heat and humidity will be bad. If you have fireants, they will be horrible. You might see softball sized clumps of them floating downstream or clinging to a tall weed. Have some spray ready if they attach to your house. I know this rambles on and sounds like I've been drinking, but I haven't. Just tired and typing all I can remember to help my brothers from another mother out.
Rip, not sure how far you've gotten on your run-in, but if the plywood is screwed in, I would consider unscrewing and taking it off, stacking and tying it down. It looks like a big parachute to the wind.
I used my tractors' FELs and some chains to add some weight to help hold down opposing corners of my storage building.
Prayers for all.

Drew, the storm might be a GREAT reason to come on down and visit. It sounds like you might be in cat 4 winds in a couple of days. Grapple, FEL, and such will be hero of the neighborhood after the storm. You should consider leaving. Here in Texas, many cover their windows with sheets of plywood.

The cooler temperature and dark, rain filled sky makes it feel like autumn, though so far the trees seem to be enjoying the novelty of frequently getting wet after such a long dry summer. They are almost all resisting the temptation to change color.
Thanks for your concern Rip, I saw my optician last week and as long as I'm careful my eye should recover before the month is out.
TP = ? Toothpaste ? Tuna Pasta ? Oh, Toilet Paper - guess you get through quite a lot when you hear Hurricane Florence may soon be knocking at your door. Take care all.
RNG did your little reptillian friend miss you and your genorisity with mealworms while you were away camping ?

now peak winds predicted between 45 and 55 mph for almost 24 hours, that should be interesting...the real question is gusts...
I'm stocked to the gills, going to pick up another tarp at TSC if they have any left this morning. 10 percent off coupon helps...
chainsaws lined up, all full and ready. Grapple going on today, bungie cords on anything and everything (thankfully I had just bought about 20 super heavy duty bungies, using them everywhere now. Need to keep airborne stuff away from windows. Realized my nice stainless grill is only connected by a permanent gas line, boy would that be bad news if it broke off...so grill is going to be bungied every which way. Going to look for shutoff valve, assume they put one on...will turn it off during storm.
Also going to bungie down top to hot tub, it has some hold downs I never used, now they sure will be.
Well, should have some interesting pictures by the end of the week.
another hot day with rain due in this afternoon. This pre hurricane rain is going to make everything much worse, particularly North and West of here. Looks like storm is going just below me, with the high wind side going over my head. Hmmm.
Had to chuckle, my Generac Holdings stock went up 5 percent yesterday. Every gen on the East Coast has probably been bought out...
Only thing I can do nothing about is my roof. C'est la vie.
I'm going to call the water company today and find out if historically the water has shut down. Water tower about a mile from me, no idea of backup pump reality. could be water water everywhere but none to shower in. I have plenty to drink, cases of bottled water.
Never filled a tub before, probably a good idea. Also have bleach to disinfect if need be.
Thanks for ideas Kyle. Floating clumps of fire ants...yikes. Crazy thing is if they landed on you, they wouldn't be in the least bit appreciative, first thing they'd do is bite you...nasty bugs.
Well I have a sheet of plywood in the barn and a paddle in the garage. Who could want for more?
