Hurricane Irene [well, still technically tropical storm Irene] has formed in the caribbean, and is forecast to hit Fort Lauderdale where I live around 3 PM Thursday afternoon.
I've got plenty of hurricane supplies- I can live off the grid for about two weeks, feet up....beer in hand.
-Concrete block house with concrete tile roof.
-Four miles inland.
-Miami-Dade rated garage door with 3X5 steel box section reinforcement beams. Gotta protect that Porsche....
-6.2 KW generator and a real twist-lok tie-in for my home electrical system. Won't run the A/C, but it will make everything else work.
-25 gallons of gasoline, plus three cars with full tanks.
-5/8 inch tempered glass "impact" windows, rated to take a direct hit from a 3 foot section of 2X4 at 155 mph. Without intrusion-
-MAK-90 semi-automatic assault rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition.
Really, the only thing missing at this point is the beer! I'll take care of that on Tuesday....Stella Artois please!
N!
