    Matthew

    I know it's been a pretty quiet hurricane season this year. Folks on the eastern seaboard should be keeping an eye on Matthew if they aren't already. It's aiming to hit Jamaica, Haiti, and Guantanamo in the next 2-3 days. Long term projections (always subject to change) have it starting up the eastern seaboard, starting with FLA.
    Slewfoot, slippy, and others near the coast, be ready.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    I've been very concerned for the last few days ever since they said it would make a turn and head north up the Florida coast.

    We've had 7 1/2 inches of rain in the last few days. With the ground so soaked, if we get the remnants from Matthew (or God forbid a direct hit), I am going to have massive tree damage around my house.

    My other concern is I am running our club's Offshore Fall #3 races next Saturday. The Hurricane on it's current projected path is going to impact this.

    Water supplies, Check.

    Food Supplies, Check.

    Security, Check.

    Test fired the generator today. I have 100 gallons of gas onsite. Should last a while. Check.

    Cleaned up yard today as well.

    I'm good to go.

    Cars go in the barn.

    I have a 20 foot fishing boat. (but I am inland, and not in a flood zone.)

    Don't really need communications. At least not radios. If cell coverage fails, its not a big deal. My whole family lives in one area, within a short drive. No point in calling 911, since they won't come anyway. Self-reliance is paramount.

    My house is built like a bomb shelter. Walls are all steel re-enforced, poured solid concrete. Meeting place is my house.

    I like that -- but it wouldn't work for me -- water table is to high to start with --
