Title: Hurricane. Keep safe everyone.
Post by: luckydog1 on August 22, 2018, 06:58:45 PM
Well the warning is in so batten down your things.  Here's a few things I have done:

1.  Filling my clean "blue bin" with H2O for the toilet tank.

2.  Filled clean coolers with about 25 gallons of potable water.

3.  Installing fresh batteries in my 4 LED lanterns and 5 flashlites.

4.  Made sure my butane stoves works and picked up a few cannisters.

5.  Topped off my gas tank.

6.  Took detailed pictures of my roof, windows, gutters and 30 panel PV system just in case for insurance purposes.

7.  Helped neighbor double strap his 17 footer to his trailer and double chaining the tow ball.

8. Removed or tied down anything that would become airborn in the backyard and patio.  Many plants large and small.

May think of ideas later, feel free to add your recs.  Good luck everyone. :shaka:

Took about 40 pictures today, inside and out. Kinda hard to get the solar panels since the house is 2 story and the panels are up on the top roof. Other than that I’m as ready as I can be. Two pistols loaded as well as a 20ga LT20 with #6. Be safe my friend.... :shaka:
