Yep, I'm about 100 miles south of Tampa. Too early to tell yet, but sure looks like we're in for a bit o rain and wind. Truck and car are already full of fuel. So, I'll be topping up the extra gas cans, zip tying all the hoses to the fence, pulling in plants, deck furniture, etc..
Yea Cleo, my trees are the biggest concern here too. I have several big mature oaks on the property. With where the trees are, about the worst that could happen would be damage to the pool cage and/or storage shed.
I'm pretty confident the house itself could take heavy winds without significant damage. This place was built after Andrew so it's all re-inforced cinder block construction. And the windows are covered in the 3m film rating them to something like 130 mph winds.
I'll also be moving the generator, chain saw and extra fuel OUT of the storage shed and into the garage...just in case.
Ahh, the price of living in paradise
