I just put all my boards away after getting them all out yesterday and setting them near where each would go. There will be TS-Force winds as forecasted now but not enough for flying debris. I live in the woods with trees a around the house, in the 4or5 times I have put up boards in similarly-forecasted conditions there has never been anything close to hitting a window. A falling tree would not be stopped by the ply/OSB so I’ll just live with that risk and deal with any consequences.
My concern is now the tidal surge and rainfall on top of that given my location. I’ll report back Friday... --FT Sent from iPhone > On Sep 3, 2019, at 12:23 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Probably about six miles to the ocean, but only a couple miles to tidal > river, about three miles to tidal marsh lands. > > Nice hot sunny day now, light breeze, a bit warm for putting up window > boards.
