Hurricane acomin’

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

It looks like Hurricane Fay is coming.  Current projections are it will be here in Lakeland Tuesday night with winds of 60 mph.  I wonder if I need to get my kite out?  Although living here for two years, this will be our first encounter with a hurricane.  This one is not too scary right now as it will go over considerable land before it gets here which should slow it down considerably.  Still, I’m gonna go fill up my gas cans and get some groceries just in case.  I’ll also run my gas generator some too just to make sure it is in good shape.  I’m not gonna put anything over the windows this time as this house was built in 1974 so I figure it has seen a few of these and the previous owner didnt leave any coverings behind.
