De-Hurricaning

Finally began the de-hurricaning process today. Folks that don't live along the coast may not realize all the effort that goes into preparing for a storm... not to mention undoing all that effort afterwards.

So all the boards came off the windows and I managed to reassemble the patio table. My daughter's playhouse was untied and moved back into place. Yes, I said untied. Anything I could not fit into the garage was tied to fence posts. During Ivan, the one thing I did not tie down (my storage shed) ended up getting disassembled. Most of the shed remained in the backyard, but I found the roof in my front yard. We were fortunate we got the west side of Ivan (east side bad).

Any who, so all is untied but my backyard still looks pretty barren. Lots left the garage for tomorrow. Oh well.

Holly crap!! Just took a look at Emily and she's border line CAT 5. Jeepers! All the models show a Yucatan hit followed by North Mexico, but South Texas is definately not out of the running. Poor Yucatan, but hopefully they'll tear Emily up a bit. And our new friend (the impressive mid-Atlantic wave) has been getting the crap beat out of it by shear today. Not looking too healthy as it approaches the Leewards (that's a good thing). Still, another one to watch.

Ah, hurricane season...
