Nothing wrong with a basement but you need to be aware of rising water.

I hope we don't get hit too hard down there because that's our place to get away. There is only so much you can do unless your going to go all out and board up everything which in our case would be very tough to do.

Breaking News from a press conference:

President Barack Obama warned people in the path of Hurricane Irene to take the dangers of the storm seriously and get prepared now.

"If you are in the projected path of this hurricane, you have to take precautions now," Obama said Friday morning. "All indications point to this being a historic hurricane."


FD, you've been warned. You cant blame Obama now for this.

Which hole was he on when he took the time to tell us something we all ready knew.

Taping does not prevent breaking, but well taped windows will hold the shards in place in case of breaking. It's serves a two fold purpose, preserve window integrity for minor breaks and keeps shards together if integrity is lost.

But no, don't tape windows and expect them not to break. For that you need to cover them.

He was probably just addressing idiots that would drive towards a hurricane

I got two jugs of water, bread, canned tuna, a flash light, and my CZ in case I need to dip into my neighbors supplys.


I'm good to go!

I live way out here in Michigan but as a sympathetic gesture I am also stocking lots of cold beer.

Your sympathetic gesture is much appreciated. I hope you enjoy that cold beer while we face a horrible storm.

We hit the store tonight for some necessities, funny how beer inevitably makes it's way to the cart. Picked up some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and some Guinness (shopped at Target, so only the standards available).

Saw plenty of other people stocking up on beer too.

Nice! I picked up a 12 pack and a 20oz bottle and didn't even notice until the cashier pointed it out that I got Kona Brewing Co Longboard (ride the waves) and Heavy Seas. Must have been a Freudian slip type of situation.

I've been a little worried about OC, MD for my parents sake but hopefully its not going to be as bad as expected there. They just got a place (a big ole double wide trailer that I mocked them for until I actually saw it and realized its pretty nice) back in November so my Mom has really been freaking out. But my Dad was down this week getting it prepped and it sounds like they've done just about everything possible so hopefully it all works out well.

Also, my friend is getting married tomorrow evening in the DC area which kind of sucks for her. Today they moved the wedding up from 6pm to 1pm. Better safe than sorry and it should be fun either way. I have to drive there, so actually I guess it works out for me as far as being able to get back home to my beer supply if and when the bad weather really hits.

Good luck everyone!
