I live in the Daytona Beach area. Supposedly, when it reaches me it'll be a cat 1. Right now, it's still near Cuba, so it could change. You really don't the true direction or strength until it's 5-10 hours away lol.
One hurricane a few years ago (can't remember which one), we didn't start preparing windows or food until the hurricane was 6 hours away and it was for sure going to be a cat 3-4. Another hurricane turned out to be a cat 1 when it got to us, we didn't even bother closing the garage door lol.
Right now, I'm house sitting for family, so I'm not at my own house to prep there, my brother's there, but he's pretty much a space-case. Luckily, my family's house I'm in now is pretty hurricane proof.
In Seminole County. Just got our Hurricane Warning. We are looking at 2 days of sustained winds and we are in a heavily wooded neighborhood with lots of pine and oak trees that haven’t really been stressed since 2004. Could be bad here.
We are boarding up our new, exterior-exposed (house is an H-shape) windows with some of the lightweight plastic panels that we bought a few years ago when we realized that we needed something lighter as we get older and have no strong, athletic daughters to help us board up.
Hopefully it is totally overkill but having gotten the eyewall of Charley in 2004 (which devastated our neighborhood with all of the tornadoes in the eyewall), we are playing it safe.
Luckily, it looks like the hurricane will lessen once on land, which is good news for us in the Central East. But definitely don't want to mess around with trees and strong winds, especially oaks trees, I've seen them just completely uproot taking the ground with them. Good luck and be safe ❤️
You too!
