Terrible for you.

What are you going to do to prep?

I’ve got a few cigars and plenty of bourbon. I’m good.

I guess, on the less bleak side, the weather guessers might be wrong.

You heard him... He's low!

Easy for me to say, I'm far enough inland that it would just be a messy wind and rain storm. I also live in a 150 year old furniture factory building converted to apartments. 3 foot wide red brick exterior walls. A franking tornado could wander down the street and we'd probably only have blown out windows.

Yes! When we lived in Texas we sweated out several hurricanes. Watching clouds swirling like a satellite picture, except they are colored this sick green and you're under them.

Of course they are way better! You don't have the agony of waiting for them for days and they're over in a matter of minutes!

A couple days ago I looked like it was going to hook about 20 miles east of us but, that didn’t pan out. Now, I’m beginning worry. If we bugged out I’d have to search for a hotel that would accept a Doberman. Also my house is in striking distance of 3 oaks whose trunk diameters are at lead 4 feet. Also have a huge live oak in the back yard whose trunk is 6 feet in diameter. Any or all of those trees could hit the house depending on the direction of the wind. If one does fall I’d need to tarp the roof to keep the 15” of rain we are expecting out. On the bright side, Mom (80) and I can move around the house based on wind direction to keep from being caught under a falling tree.

At least I have bourbon and cigars.

Thanks

Will do. I might need a tripod to hold up some trees while I saw them.

hmmm, probably too late for you to grow one.

I think tailgater has a 3-D printer. He's only an hour away from me.

I’ve always heard that the originals are better than the knockoffs.
