Are You Ready for Hurricane Season?

[kara teoke]

Thank goodness your life can be just fine with planning for a little rain, my life however requires that I prepare days in advance of a big storm, whether we get a direct hit or not. Just sustained winds over 15-20 mph can harm my critters/property. It's obvious you don't live on a farm nor have livestock to prepare for.

Yet here you are posting on a forum instead of getting ready for Snowpocalypse 2 Revenge of Hugo

Then shouldn't you be out building a dome over your farm vs. on here trying to stir drama?

If 15-20 mph winds can harm your critters/property, you have more serious issues than a storm over Cuba. Just sayin....

Actually, Sandy is 280 miles wide. Hurricane force winds extend outward 25 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward 140 miles from the center.

Well you know that Baja has that force field around him so he won't be bothered by high winds ....

I think we'll get rain, and a few gusts, but it's going to go out to the right.

It seems like you need to do some major long term type of changes and upgrades to your property and the way you do things. I grew up on a farm and while we had to do stuff like put things away, etc. We didn't go through panic attacks everytime some sort of weather event occured.

What panic attack? I'm planning for next week. Planning a week in advance does not constitute a panic attack, it does equate to being a good planner that doesn't wait until the last minute to do things.

I think some of you are just looking for someone to argue with, and I prefer not to argue. You don't have to beat me down just because I do not share your view/opinion.

Force field against what?

As I mentioned, if your property is that delicate, you should really be doing some reinforcements.

Can't we all just get along?

But you go through this everytime there's a tropical depression somewhere in the oceans. Good planning means that you don't have to go through this sort of thing each and everytime. Good planning means that you improve your processes and strutures so they're already ready for whatever weather might come. Instead of looking to next week, you need to be looking to next year and the years after that so when weather does come, you have only minimal things to take care of.

I do not leave all the storm stuff in place all the time. It has to be put in place and taken away after the storm passes. Otherwise I'd have boarded up pens all the time that didn't get any sunshine - just shows you don't know what goes into preparation for critters on a farm.

We are on Hurricane Sandy. So show me where I made a big deal about every storm prior to Sandy? You can't, because I didn't. I made a joke about one here and there but didn't say I was making storm preparations every time there was a named storm. You're full of it .... full of what? I don't know for sure .

That.

Incorrect.



We had indoor/outdoor facilities that were in place all the time. If there was a storm, the animals were kept inside. Very simple.

Anyone have a generator for sale?

You must have been one of those farmers we poorer famers called "too rich".

No way we could get all our animals in to "indoor facilities".

And...."facilities"??.....yeah..you were a farmer, all right.

Carry on.

The lastest update and tracking is not looking great.

Intellicast...I'll switch over to the NOAA Hurrican Center once it gets closer and the path more certain.


The timing couldn't be worse....got a bunch of bare walls sticking up in the air, just begging to be blown down again.
