Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricane Milton is heading straight towards the state of Florida. It’s a massive storm and it just was clocked in at 150 mph. Its a cat 4.

Hopefully, we will be spared but we are preparing anyway. We are filling up on gas. It’s always good to have a full tank. The lines were long but we are t in a rush.

Its important to have drinking water. And canned goods. Power outages can last for days or weeks. So it’s important to have enough drinking water.

Flashlights are essential and batteries. Candles are nice but could be dangerous and lead to a fire.

We are collecting rain water in case we need to flush toilets.

All little items outside the house are brought inside. That includes wall hangings.

We stacked our community pool furniture next to the pool house. And put away anything that could be a projectile weapon.

We are mostly prepared. Awaiting further developments to see if we need to put down our shutters. As of now, we will have winds and rain, and gusts up to 50 mph. I don’t think its necessary to put down shutters unless it is forecast to 70 mph. We have hurricane windows.

For now we are ready in southeast Florida.
