Huricane Dorean, Pack Them Up!
I have 16 lugers. I put each in a cotton sock. Then each in a gallon zip top bag, Finally into a rubbermade box along with all holsters and boards. I then seal the crate with good old duct tape! This is going to be in pain in the butt! Port St. Lucie, Florida Eric

Hang in there Eric. You have been through tough times before. The most important thing is take good care of yourself and Debbie.

Thank You All. Our home in Port St Lucie was built 25 years ago when the building code including windows was rated for 100mph. We are staying with our daughter in a new construction rated at close to 175 mph and has hurricane shutters. Its now a cat 4, the highest. Our home will be destroyed, and roof with shingles will be gone. An example is hurricane David hitting Miami.as a cat 4. I sealed up my lugers and leather and boards. I dread returning in a few days. We may not have power for a month! God Bless!

I hope it is not as bad as it looks for you. Hopefully it will leave your roof alone! Best of luck.

Pay attention to the NOAA/Hurricane center forecast - ONLY. And the "European model" if you can find it. The talking heads all have this labeled as TEOTWAWKI just like EVERY other thing. NOAA hasn't said a damn thing about it being a cat 4 that I know of - that all seems to be coming from the hysteria mongers.
At this time, we're boarding up, but not planning on an evac. We'll see where it actually goes before making that decision. We're in Merritt Island. Last edited by Zorba; 08-30-2019 at 07:41 PM. |

Not here in Wilmington, North Carolina... But current tracks indicate it stays offshore. That means winds out of the East and North as it passes, and lots of water.
Most that have not experienced a hurricane don't understand that they blow a 120mph wall of water, not just air...

This storm is the biggest flop on record - from the Florida standpoint. Those poor souls in the Bahamas however have a different view. What doesn't help anything is the media - which I pointedly ignored. NOAA and NWS - and sites that derive from them like wunderground - ONLY.

Watching and praying for you Eric. IT continues to loose speed and looks like it is slowly turning north. MUCH flooding is probably the big affect for you guys.
