Just a reminder - Hurricane Season 2013 begins on Friday

[malaise]

Just look at the amount of rain around the Eastern Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Atlantic.

Get those supplies ready folks!!! We'll need them later in the season

1. Is it me, or there s a chain of warm water from

The west coast of Africa to the Gulf? Gulp!!!!

You stay safe

[malaise]

4. Yep the water is warm

and it will soon be hot

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Look on the bright side

You get to deal with storms, I get to deal with (possibly) firestorms.

The dark sense of humor is back!!! (Never left really)

Yup, the scanner is back...two hours for firebug. I suspect, if it is a firebug, he will have to do this much higher on the road. Two days in a row, sameish location, same time...it's crawling with cops.

You stay safe, I will...and as to supplies...that goes for anywhere.

This year, that water pattern keeps up, will be bad.

12. Mine are babies compared with yours

I'll take hurricanes over fire every hour of the day

13. The last one I went cover...

It gave me the bad feeling of changing winds. Nope, did not like it one bit. Thanked my lucky stars this was not a Santa Anna.

What amazes me is how people still argue against getting prepared as property rights. Well...their funeral, whether it's water or fire

2. My "supplies" are a fueled car pointing north outta Florida

if it looks like we might lose power. I don't want to shelter in place with a toddler. Will stay with relatives in Georgia if it comes to it.

3. That's my Florida sister's hurricane plan

Put up the shutters and off to the Atlanta sister

area rug delivered for my Sandy recovery. The floors are new, a bunch of appliances are new..

And here we go again.

[malaise]

9. Well let's hope we both don't get hit again this year

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. I am having a new roof put on this month.

Insurance company insists on it.
Nothing like washing your car to bring rain, and all that.

11. Almost ready

The wife and I have a month's freeze dried provisions,
generator, med kit, etc.

Just have to lay in some bottled water and soups and such.

And people...don't forget a manual can opener!!!!

[malaise]

14. And the old land line

that does not need electricity

[greytdemocrat]

16. Damn...

I have Verizon. If the power goes, LL is dead after the backup battery dies.

Meh, wife says I spent too much time online anyway...

[malaise]

17. Get an old Rotary phone or one of these

We have one like this. Must remember to wipe it down with disinfectant this week and put it in a ziplock just in case we need it
