Hurricane Irma..
- Thread starter Raskin
- Start date
Strange coincident, it's supposed to hit us on 9/11. They think.
Oh well I'm an old Boy Scout so I've been prepped for a long time. You wouldn't believe the folks down here who waited till the last minute it seems. Can't find bottled water, gas cans, flashlights, even the gas stations are running out of gas with folks filling up. Grocery stores look like someone is giving the food away they are so packed.

Yeah ..we rotate our supplies and use the stuff that have near expiration dates after each hurricane season and buy more new stuff every year to grow the supply back to comfort level..we got an extra fridge i keep at least 140 bottled waters and more stored all year coz we're on a well..i like at least 2 months of supplies..first aid,prescription meds..5 small fire extiguishers..everyone needs to do this no matter where you live......looks like I'll take my last minibike ride of the week and stash them in the shed ..then on to other stuff if gets closer..

southern guys are having some crazy weather this year. i was down this summer in gulfport miss when they had that real bad storm in june.
they had couple large waterspouts hit land and damage some buildings. thing came right across the beach and highway. they say there where big waterspouts.
winters up here have been mild for last couple years. no real big snow storms for us in wis.
maybe this year could be the big one ...

Oddest thing I saw cleaned off the shelves today at the grocery store was baked beans :shrug: So if you see Venice/Englewood areas of Florida named as disaster stricken on the news in the days after it make landfall and your someone that donates supplies etc., please toss a can of air freshener in with whatever you donate :laugh:
