yes, it is perhaps the biggest storm to approach in a few years, and yes...the tracking is pretty broad, but as you all have seen, we even get showers from depressions that wash into Texas.
So, just to save you from the prospect of some property damage if we get brushed by Irma
*Gutters,..clean them this week.
*patio furniture...stow.
*Screened porches...maybe pull screens or secure.
*Tarp & secure boats
*Buy a case of water this week
*Check batteries & Flashlights
*Chimney caps...secure?
*Cut down branches hanging over your house.
*Culverts...are they open/clear?
*Fill up the tanks in your auto by Next Saturday
*Give a pull on your generator-make sure its ready (mine is in the shop!!)
*Buy an extra tarp this week...evn if you may have to loan it to a neighbor.
*Extra bag of ice for the Freezer...might save hundreds of $$ of food if we are out of power for 24 hours.
No alarm,...just some tips for home owners who do not remember Irene.
