Exclamation Stay SAFE this weekend East Coasters!

...my fellow East Coast PT.net members.

I secured everything outside that was light enough to fly and from here on out can only wait and see what happens...

Gonna suck a big one getting pounded with Hurricane Irene this weekend.

Good Luck and Stay Safe!

I wish we would get hit by a hurricane here in DFW. The most precipitation Ive seen in like 50 something days is my window washing fluid on my windshield.

Trust me man, you do not want to get hit with this BS.. I have been through this before, it is a ******* mess.. On a previous one we didn't have power for a week, spent 3 days cleaning debris from the yard that was washed in with the tides and winds..

Oh, for some reason when, instead of staying in DFW during Katrina or Rita with my fam, I stayed about an hour east of Houston for about a month without power and cleaning up downed trees. Sucked *** eating MRIs for that long and cold showers, but I did? I dont know why? lol Been there. That country living for ya.\

EDIT: But I stayed at my house once power came on for 2 months with just me, no parents, Amazing to say the least.

We have alot of members on the east coast. While I do not advocate being a paranoid town crier, everyone should have a good stock of water bottles, non refrigerated food (p-nut butter, granola bars, canned goods), batteries, candles flashlights etc. The propane tank on your grill should be full as well. I am planning on a power outage for a week...sux.

Be safe guys!!!
