Storm Prep
Not being an alarmist, just a realist.....
My list;
Haul boat, empty, cover, leave on street away from trees.
Clean out gutters and put on downspout extensions.
Set up floor pumps and hoses in basement/shop.
Get tools, stock, etc off shop floor. This will be the biggest PITA.

Park my truck under sketchy large limb. So I have a legitimate reason to upgrade to an NV Quigley conversion

No trees around here. Power lines on nice, treeless street. Commuter rail 1 mile from the house with an 8 mile shot to the city. No problem here (maybe make sure everything in the basement is up off the floor).

Eat all the ice cream before it has a chance to melt! 
Have to think about drinking all the beer  before it warms up but didn't they say cold air being swept in? |

Empty the ATM, cash is king when the power goes out
Gas the wagon (already packed) and look for the nearest jetty that historically blows up on a good NE blow

I might clean out the gutters, but other than that , pretty much nothing
may get gas, eat most of the food in the fridge.

Nothing as of yet. I had the chainsaw running last week and sharpened the chain. If it looks like its gunna get bad i may pull my boat out of the lake but at least in the lake it wont get hit with any branches. I cant see much falling from the trees, not after last year, i got a cord of wood just from the property. Its only an acre.

Buy Halloween candy for the neighborhood kids tomorrow or Saturday instead of Tuesday.
Everything else is pretty much in shape. The grill is still lashed to the deck rail which I did to prepare for Earl before it vanished out to see. Trash barrels in the closet built into the false chimney. Deck chairs stacked inside the slider, and table flipped over so wind can't get under it an pick it up. Thing has a solid 2" thick glass top---it ain't going anywhere flipped over. |

I guess I'll put away all the patio furniture, then hit the liquor store tomorrow. I'm glad I procrastinated on raking the leaves.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Just got limes for the Captain Morgan. So I'm all set. How many storms of the century have we survived in the last ten years now.
