Not sure how many of you live in the united states but on the east coast there is a massive sized hurricane that is almost the size of the state of florida heading right me, I live in west palm beach, the last hurricane we had that was this powerfull was hurricane andrew which left most of southern florida devestated, it was castrophic, im pretty nervous at this point.
Me and the wife went out today and stocked up on the essentials, water, milk, diapers for the baby. In the morning I need to put up the hurricane shutters, they are rated for 125mph winds, this storm is already at 147mph and getting stronger it seems.
Hopefully everything will be ok, my home is of new construction but it still concerns me deeply. Luckily for us there is a brand new highschool down the street which is also a shelter incase things get really bad. People are starting to go crazy around here also, most of the gas stations are out of gas, batteries are non existant and plywood is sold out in all major home depots.
Just posting to vent a bit, I hope things will be ok, the storm is scheduled to make land fall late friday eve, early saturday, this atleast gives me enough time to fasten everything down and bord up, there is a slim chance the storm will make another turn and head further up the coast towards jacksonvill, which would mean I would just get heavy tropical storm winds and rain, ide rather that
Be safe every one and if there is any one else on the Z from the east coast, be safe and I hope things turn out ok for you.
Cheers!
