Hurricanes I am READY

[Evan F]

Well I'd rather not have any hurricanes this season but if we get one and we lose power I am ready. Cleaned out the garage today arranging all my hurricane supplies; extension cords, 220v power plug to back feed the house,batteries and the new addition a portable A/C unit on wheels 10k BTU. I was just running it and man it gets cold. Is everyone else prepared?

I am ready too. I live west of the Appalachian Mountains, so that is a handy tool in keeping the Hurricane on the coast and away from me.

I'm ready in NW Ohio too! We sometimes get what's left as fall hurricanes tracking up through the Great Lakes, but the normal tornado/severe storm season is what we get ready for. Don't have a portable AC, but do have a generator for the house...enought to run refrig & freezer and a few lights.

Fast Eddie. I'm thinking about buying a generator also this year. Even though Rita never turned into a problem for us, it was close enough to get me worried. May even buy a small ac window unit.

I honestly thought by the title that this was going to be a thread about the Stanley Cup Finals...

15Kw generator that runs on propane. Impact windows and a brand new roof.

I tried the windows and generator out during last years storms. We ran on the generator for nearly 3 weeks. Ready to go. I pray that I don't have to use any of them.

If another Wilma comes Key West will become a ghost town- we always flee when ordered but if one is coming from the west again I am moving all cars to higher ground and putting the koi in a pond on the balcony. Marathon office Katrina damage still not fixed, farm in Homestead producing guavas again, but not many. Pool enclosure in Pembroke Pines still damaged.... but we have 2 Honda generators. Thought about going with a whole house unit, but if damage is so severe that power is out more than 3-4 days, we are going on vacation!

I've done complete PM's on both my Honda generators, just recently bought additional metal shutters (No more plywood yeah!!) and installed H headers for them all around the house to make it easy on-easy off. Wilma blew off my 12' x 4' hot water heater solar collector on the roof, so I replaced it, but this time I sweat on inlet/outlet quick disconnects as so I can lay the whole panel down and secure flat on the roof should we get a hurricane warning.



I have a new chain saw, but then again I don't have but one hardwood tree left on my property since Wilma...only palms are left now.



I took advantage of the no sales tax provision last week and bought stuff.
