Default Re: Tropical Storm Preps?

Sorry to hear that Jarred. It's really weird though. As you know, we're in Lake Worth, just W of Boynton Beach. We had a couple wind squalls and a couple rain squalls but that was it. Shredded some banana leaves but nothing blew down. What REALLY surprised me is we NEVER lost our DISH Satellite signal once and I usually loose it in a summer thunderstorm. Power stayed on too. What a difference 20 miles or so makes. I was thinking about you because it looked like it was going to head straight out 595 and across the alley toward Marc.

Hope you guys did OK.

Jarred, go see if Home Depot down there has a neat variegated plant. It looks like a thin leaf canna but has a white cluster flower (looks kinda like a pine cone) down in the plant. Got a big clump about 3 feet tall last week for under $9. Neat variegated leaf so it should look pretty good.
