Actually that is my main concern, that and the trees flying around. I think the house, at least the new addition, would be OK with any tree fall but if the tide gets up real high... at least it is looking like we won't mostly be on the dirty side so that is some comfort. Word is Nimrata

No amount of hunkering down, boarding up, and an abundance of TP will get you past a 20' storm surge. On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 2:34 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > All good advice. I filled up a bunch of gas cans, probably have 30 gal at > this point so that will

All good advice. I filled up a bunch of gas cans, probably have 30 gal at this point so that will run the genny for a little while, mostly to keep the fridge topped up every few hours. I have plenty of gas, 3 grill tanks pretty full and the 100gal for the cooktop that is more than half full.

All excellent advice. We’ve sheltered in place for several hurricanes, although none of them were this powerful, but it can be done if you’re properly prepared. One of my favorite items is a Red Cross hand crank radio that also charges cell phones using a USB port. It’s tedious as heck to

That's good advice Scott. I have found that hotel/motels will require reservations to be paid in advance and non-refundable, so keep that in mind. I need to check if we still have a paper road atlas. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 12:42 PM, Scott Ritchey via Mercedes <

Yes, I spoke too soon, looking pretty bad for us now. I just filled the tank in my wagon, I'll tell SWMBO to fill the tank in her car. I think we'll stay if we will not get a direct hit, unless the wind forecast is too high. I'll fill up the generator tank tonight when I get off work. --

I'm off this morning to fill gas cans and truck, gonna start getting the plywood out for the windows and getting that up. Track keeps moving westward, right now it looks like it will run right up the coast a bit offshore. That's a little better than a direct hit straight on but will mean high

I guess the weatherman has gotten under your skin, I think this might, just maybe, cause a little less rain and wind than the storm that came through earlier this year. We sure could use the rain. Oh yeah, you've got all those big trees around, maybe you should up sticks... -- Max Dillon

shows this thing coming closer to the coast as a CAT2-3, 105mph+ winds and LOTS of rain. Might be a mandatory evacuation from the islands which I will choose to follow or not. Gonna get the boards out tomorrow, check the track on Wed then start prepping. Might have to bail to upstate at some
