Default Hurricane Plan - Florida Rennlisters

Florida Rennlisters,

Email me with your contact information, and I will try to compile it in a file before tomorrow. Then we will have a roll-call to make sure everyone is a-OK, and if someone doesn't reply, we'll contact them.

Please cross-post this to other forums as well. Dave and seb and the other CFL Rennlisters, help keep this one bumped. Thanks.

Stay safe -- this one's going to be a bumpy ride.

Tomorrow I get to put up the hurricane shutters. I am going to try to get some of the Rennbay orders shipped in the morning but most of them may have to wait until after the weekend.

I will have quite a day tomorrow so if I don't get to check in again, everyone be safe. This is a big one and no one knows exactly where its going to make landfall.

Matt, you have my info so if you need anything just give me a ring.

I just got all my shutters up at home and the shop. What a day..... Started at 8am.

Everyone be safe and I think all Rennbay orders will be shipped on Tuesday. I was going to ship some this morning but I don't want to risk them getting caught up in transit mid state when this thing hits. Better a little late than lost forever.

Good luck all. I'm in Palm Harbor (west of Tampa) until Monday. We're still not sure how hard it'll hit over here

Stay safe folks.

Looks like it's gonna pass over near there after it goes through the state Pete. It doesn't really matter where it goes, it's gonna cover the whole state. I wish it would just get here...sitting in a hotel room (since everything else around here is closed) waiting for the thing is annoying. It was originally supposed to make landfall tonight, but it doesn't look like it will until like 2 am tomorrow since it's going so slow now.
