rgatijnet1,
If you are planning on riding this one out, when it's all over, please post on here again how it went? How did your house do? But more important, your house might have survived, but what about everything around you? Power, electricity, water, sewage, destruction? How did all that impact your stay. Please let us know!
Thanks!
In the 70+ years I have lived here, I have been through quite a few hurricanes. I live in a high area, away from the coast, in a concrete/steel reinforced house. I have an emergency natural gas generator and we always stock plenty of water. Those of us that are familiar with hurricanes always stock up with supplies before each storm season and then, after the season is over, we use those supplies.
As I mentioned, if the storm is to the west of us, we have to worry about a storm surge(flooding) and we will leave. Right now it looks like the storm will be to the east of us so all we will get is the winds, and the water will be pushed away from the coast.
I will be sure to post after the storm has passed and the most recent predictions of the storm path is that it may just run right up I95, which puts it 100+ miles to the east of us. In any case, we will watch it closely, like we always do, and change our plans if the storm shifts farther west. :B
