New hurricane to follow

heavy bands coming thru now.

I have window in my garage that I can't close cuz it's all stuck open 6 " and a screen jammed behind it-
plus burglar bars I would have to take out of concrete to get to work on it.

I have sheets of flexible 3mil plastic I use to around my Florida porch screens, that keeps the rain flooding it.
It's tile porch w/ patio furniture -an extension to the house.

I took one of those long pieces and scored it in half, and hand flexed it in to seal the opening.
Pressure holds it in place.

Last thing was to fill in a gap my garage door rubber seal at the bottom with a folded up washrag.
Shove it in place
I am sealed and dry

My fun begins tonight after six or so. Here's an interesting article I read about closing the doors throughout your house.

Good work. I'm all sealed up here as well with a couple "creative measures".
Had a few big branches from my humongous old oak tree clunk down on my metal roof...Blossom now walks around the house looking up and growls at the ceiling, LOL! She's a trip.
Cooked a pound of pasta and sauce this morning, couple of chicken breasts, chicken livers & gizzards for Blossom and hard boiled some eggs, stuck'm in the fridge. Made extra coffee and put them in thermoses.
Watching the radar to pick my spots to let Blossom out. http://www.wftv.com/weather/doppler-9hd in Orlando is the best!!!!! You can hone in all the way to your very street & house.
The power has already flickered a few times.

Remember everybody in the path of Irma.....
If you haven't done so already, crank your a.c., fridge & freezer to their coldest settings in preparation for power outages. :cool:

My A/C is on 68 -- like a meat locker in here.
 
5pm bulletin states Irma is 938 mb and officially a Cat 2. Forecast to be Cat1 by time it hits Tampa. :)

I wish I was doing this by myself. my sister is a mess . I got a feeling power is going to go earlier then expected.
Brewed coffee is a must! Thanks for the website. I got it tabbed in the background

Could you maybe slip her some valerian or melatonin in her coffee???
:eyeroll:
Yeah, I've got 2 pitchers of coffee in the fridge as well as my thermoses.
I discovered that Orlando website about 6 years ago. That 2nd screen on there is the bomb, you can hone in to any area you want. That's where I watch for the breaks in the bands right over my own block so I can take Blossom out. Hang in there...almost over. ;)
 
Looks like you Floridians are in good spirits considering the circumstances! Good attitude will get you through just about anything.
