Lawn chair pushed on its side. LOL priceless..
Been in FL all my life. Hurricanes were always a time for us kids to play in the rain and have fun because they would blow themselves out and reduce in strength prior to making it this far inland. (54 feet of elevation so no storm surge)
BUT - Charlie got my attention, then Gene, then Francis. All in one year. They criss-crossed Florida and all three centers came within 20 miles of the house. We are 100 miles from where Charlie made landfall and it was still a CAT2 when it hit Polk County. Don't play around. Gusts of 100 and sustained at 75 is more than your average squall. I thought we were gonna loose the roof on our CBS home. Lost a part of the fence. Debris field from loss of fence wiped out my neighbors pool enclosure 2 houses down. No power for 4 days. 6000 watt generator at the ready but didn't count on having to use the Alabama credit card to extract fuel from the Tahoe to make it run. Only had two 5 gal cans which was good for about 10 hours of runtime. Electric water heaters keep the stored water hot for 3 days if used sparingly. Oppressive heat on top of that made for some miserable living with the wife and youngin. Used the generator to power the Fridge, Freezer, run ceiling fans, lights, dish and TV. Not enough to run the A/C. Propane and charcoal is your best friend. Water and canned goods are a must have.
Things can be replaced/rebuilt. Get out of the direct path of the storm. CTT this means you.
