There goes the cool weather I was hoping for. Sick of this 97% humidity bullshit.

After my first home sustained substantial damages by Andrew, lost power Katrina 1 week, Wilma 3 weeks, Irma 4 days...I learned to live in hurricane alley without stressing. Be ready and prepared...just as we are when we're carrying.

If you have doubts your home will survive a major storm OR are in an evacuation zone....get outta Dodge!
As for me, I have no choice buy to stay...my job requires it. But I've transformed my house as a mini bunker.

I've worked every major and minir storm performing FEMA required damage assessments.
Even if everyone knows an area was spared, just being under watch triggers damage assessment.

Bottom line: Stay safe BUT don't fall into all the media hype.....the stress will kill you.

Yeah, it will completely miss Hispaniola, so it will NOT get knocked down. Now they predict cat 2 and Florida is the target.

Terrific - another blow coming the one Labor Day holiday I get off.

Why can't the hurricanes come election day, and keep the libitards at home!

Costco, Aldis, and Walmart were on fuckin' fire today. I usually do my grocery shopping on Wednesdays cause its my day off and I could barely get what I needed.
