Anybody stocking up ahead of Irma?

You should have seen 'em hauling the stuff out on the big carts. I figured they were headed to the interstates to sell 'em for 10 bucks/bottle.

Alpharetta/Windward Pkwy location, but yeah. It wouldn't surprise me if Home Depot was running out of plywood, too!

2 hour wait last i heard on plywood , Folks buying 2x's

And you were there for..... ?

Gas like I always get on a Friday...unlike dick heads filling up gas cans jamming up the works

One thing I always do on my Mountain if we have a big blow coming. Fill the bath tubs with water to the just below the overflow drain..If the power goes out as it often does, don't want to waste generator on water pump..Have a bucket in the bath room, just to fill the tank and flush..

Sorry...call me crazy. I'm not believing the hype. In this 24hr news cycle, ratings driven situation we live in, I don't trust anything. I hope the folks in FLA are safe and either A) out of town or B) behind some seriously battened hatches. If you're south of Macon, be careful. North of Macon, it's probably going to be stormy. But at over 1,000 feet above sea level and five hours from the coast, I'm not "stocking up" on anything.

40- 60 mph winds forecasted. Good chance that trees will blow down on power lines.

You are welcome around my campfire any time, buttt you got to bring my bride a peace gift, in the form of a bar of super soap.

This may do to Atlanta what Hugo did to Charlotte. Power was out for days because all the downed trees. I helped in the cleanup on that one, it was a real mess.

I have to say I am impressed with ETC up here on the mountain. For the last several weeks they have finally got the common sense, to take down all the trees and limbs that could damage power lines..Maybe it will be better this time but at least it is a positive move to protect..First time I have seen this in 16 years. Stay prepared my friends, plan for the worst and hope for the best, Mother Nature is the Boss..
