Well.... as the Jimmy Buffet song goes...
I'm trying to reason with Hurricane Season.....
Looks like that 'ol windbag "Fay" is coming to town.
www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/
Just topped off the van's gas tank, filled all our LP tanks and test started our home generator.......
I guess it's just the price I pay to live in Paradise
We are already stocked up on water, canned goods and batteries. Put all that in our Hurricane/Survival box at the start of the season in June.
Mrs. FAST gets a little, how shall I say.... jittery when a hurricane gets this close. Just to add icing to the cake, the school year starts t o d a y So the kids may get a couple extra days of vacation.
No worries though.... I'm all prayed up and ready to rumble !!!

Rick - make sure you get all the TOOBS strapped down good. Best of luck.
I will be watching Fay also, we are not too far from the beach here in NC and some of the models have it coming possibly up in our direction.

Rick - make sure you get all the TOOBS strapped down good. Best of luck. Better yet Rick....why don't you strap yourself down in one of those toobs. Fay is no match for the TOOB! Good luck Rick and FAST Family....Be safe!

As most of you are aware this is the height of Hurricane season.....
As Hanna curves along the Eastern seaboard bringing rain & wind,focus your thoughts and prayers on all in the Carolinas.
Ike seems to be on a direct path for Florida. He's currently a Cat #3 storm. Many of the "spaghetti" models show the eye going over Central Florida.....
Be an example of strength & calm for your kids, for they look to you. Practice the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" and the Royal Ranger motto: "Ready"
