Specific Prepping: High Winds And Torrential Rain

[Leadeye]

Adjusted the gardeners rainwater collection setup to the gutter pipes for the winter, she'll be draining it in two weeks or so anyway. Secured loose stuff like patio furniture and outdoor plants in pots. The genny will come on if the power fails which I figure it will as it's been a while since we've had high sustained wind.

A good blower is worth the $$!!

Yes. Yes she is.

I cleaned my gutters today. Looks like timing was good.

Speaking of timing, what time are we expecting the remnants to land here?

**** that would have been a nice thing to see yesterday

Well...I'm going to need a bigger chainsaw! My 20" bar isn't going to cut it on this big boy. I know what tree this is and I thought to myself, I'll get the big gun when that one falls. New chainsaw day for me tomorrow! MS391 to be economical, 400 for a little more oomph, 462 for a longer bar or splurge on the 500 for a longer..member!! Came damn close to taking out the corner of my shop.

Thank God it missed the shop.

I've wanted a 28" 462 with the wrap around handle for years.
