As long as the weather lets up enough for you to apply some suds, the rain will scrub down the siding sure enough, gnu!

Nobody else around here seems to be taking the storm seriously. We're in a vulnerable position, and anything we do to prepare now will pay off for us whether for this hurricane or a storm in the future.

We have plywood scraps ready for smaller windows, and full sheets coming in a couple of days for the big passive solar windows. Setting up in the yurt to camp there for the duration, generator at the ready, various supplies gathering by the door. There is no way we want to be in the camper for what could be a significant windstorm; 30-40-50 mph was horrible enough in storms this past fall, winter, and spring.

Once we're set up, we'll enjoy the storm.
