Lets if I get the steps right for hurricane season.
Head to the lumber company for enough boards to cover all windows and doorwalls.
Then head the grocery store for as many fresh food supplies as you can get.
Then head to the beer liquor store and buy way more than you may think you need.
Then go home board eveything up.
then start the BBQ and the weather channel and proceed to party like its 1999
How close am I for a Damn Yankee?:biglaugh:

Pretty good, except boards and food, you should have those already. I love going to the liquor store, and watching the Home Depot next door. That's entertainment!

Hahaha that's funny!
Out here in rural east Texas a tornado can come out of nowhere and wreck your house. No way to prepare for that except to keep go bags with some clothes and your important papers. But when we get snow and ice you'd think it wasArmageddon! It's just like yall said, the stores are stripped bare by the end of the day that the weatherguessers predict it. Even for just a inch of the evil white stuff.

In the northeast the hurricanes like playing Russian roulette with the population.
There's about a 1 in 6 chance that it will stay close enough to land that we will get a good blow, most of the time they go out to sea.
You can thank the weatherpeople for hyping the sheep into such a frenzy.
You got to love a job where you can be wrong 90% of the time and still get paid!
Hahaha that's funny!

Hell they do that here with snowstorms! Yes, it takes a bit more snow, a prediction of around 6-10 inches, but the supermarkets will be cleared out. For crying out loud, we have snow on the ground for 5 months a year!

True story,we lived on the Gulf Coast and before every tropical storm or hurricane, Dad would pull the oldest car he owned underneath the oldest, biggest pine tree in the yard. It became a neighborhood joke!
Dad had it figured out.

Not one time! Not even a scratch on any car. And we had more than a few trees uprooted in the yard due to hurricanes etc. He just never picked the right tree.
We had this 1960's station wagon with the wood paneling and the third seat that us kids called the "way back seat"...Dad tried hardest on that car all the way up to Hurricane Frederick in '79. He figured it was the luckiest car ever. Sold it and he bought an Oldsmobile if I recall. Dad was a funny dude...:bigthumbup:

I know you talking about your Dad but if you ever have the same problem let me know. I know a couple Mexican dudes that, for a couple of bucks and a 12er of Budweiser, can make any car "disappear". They'll chop it into so many pieces no one would ever get that puzzle back together again.

Same way here. All of the bread and milk is gone plus all the gas jugs and kerosene heaters. It amazes me

I guess if I lived in Florida, Georgia, Alabama or Loosy-anna, . . . I guess I'd be hard pressed to tell which I disliked the most: them dadblamed Yankees that think they know it all, . . . come in and cheapskate around for 5 or 6 months waiting for better weather back up north, . . . or the hurricanes.
Get rid of one, . . . here comes the other'n.
May God bless,
Dwight

Hawg for a damn Yankee you are all right. I think you were just misplaced at birth. You would have made a damn fine red neck down here in the south, where it really counts.

Hahaha my elders are from Kentucky. They called my grandfather the Duke of Paducah. They spent years in Florida building houses back in the late 40's thru the 50's also. Southern roots never die.:biglaugh:
