Up to a Cat 3!

So, do I Shutter the 26 openings or not?

I guess I will go fuel up now.

I'm just filling up and putting a couple gas cans on full but mine is fer the trip to Talladega this weekend not the storm....

No harder than it is to shutter, I think I'm going to err on the side of caution. Be kinda dumb to need it and not have it. I'd rather have it and not need it.

Tom, where did you see possible Cat 3. Wunderground is still showing a 2... https://www.wunderground.com/hurrica...l?map=forecast

Weather Channel said it could be a 3 if it stalls offshore before landfall

Yep, at 6 am, a cat 2, possibly up to a 3

Sure looks like it's going east of us. We only have a 50-60% chance of tropical storm force winds according to one of the graphics. I'm not shuttering unless something changes.

We are in Fort Walton Beach, should we be concerned?

Prepared. And watch. Have your plan in place, we keep ours in place all during the hurricane season, to illuminate the encounters of panicked people as landfall draws near.

I will make my decision this evening, it takes 6 hours to Shutter by myself. Got my fuel in vehicles topped off. And cans filled for the Genny, water check, ice made, 4 tanks of propane for the barbecue

DO NOT FORGET BEER!!
I was able to secure a lot of help after Ivan with the promise of ice cold beer, more valuable than cash in your pocket.

I'll start to think hard about putting the shudders on this evening depending on where its heading..... if current track remains, no,.... who know just yet… may just do the windward side of the house for something to do.... you know, training....
