If you live within the cone, you might want to think about lowering your stabilizers, filling your tanks, and covering your T@b if you cannot move it.

    Time to load the trailers up and get out of town come hell or high water!   I think with the melting of the ice caps and more water spread across the surface of the planet these super storms are going to become more frequent.  I actually had a college professor predict this back in the mid 80’s and it’s comd to fruition.  

    Stay safe folks, get out of the area and stay to the high ground!  This is scary stuff and I’ve never understood how some folks can turn their heads on warnings, predictions, advice, history, etc. and stick around and ride these things out?  100+ MPH wind speeds are no laughing matter and are obviously terrifying.  Best of luck to anyone out there on the coast and hope you are all safe!

    For our cousins living close to the water in Carolina Beach (Wilmington), they are currently under evacuation orders & packing up their T@B to come stay with us here in central Virginia.  I've already made room in the driveway for the twins.  We won't have the biggest winds here, but expecting upwards of 10" of rain over a few days.  Will keep our fingers crossed for no power loss, but experience tells us it's likely & when it's from a hurricane it's been at least four days without power.  Their house was built to be nearly hurricane-proof, but you never know what nature can do.

    Hmm, filling tanks, now why didn't I think of that!  Thanks, @jkjenn.

    For a little  context, we are actually seeing fewer east coast hurricanes. Florence, a fierce storm, will likely be similar in strength to Floyd and Hazel.  The number of homes impacted, however. Has skyrocketed from: (1940) : 792,871 homes to (2018) : 11,301,776 homes.



    I know we have many T@b owners in harm's way. Please be safe! I saw that racetracks in Charolette, Bristol, and Atlanta have opened their campgrounds for evacuees.

    Our T@B was joined by its twin cousin, a Hurricane Florence refugee, after our cousins evacuated Carolina Beach near Wilmington a few days ago..

    I have also been doing some test fitting of our new Renogy Eclipse 100W solar panel on the roof of our Sienna, shown here with Dale Helman's feet =)  (that is, his idea of using rubber suction cups to support a TV roof mounting).  This panel is roughly 40x20", and I should have room for a second one if needed.

    Haven't gotten very far with it, due to frequent showers from the outer bands of the storm, but I'm working on some brackets that will screw into the roof rack to secure it.  Haven't even connected it yet, but then we haven't seen the sun for a few days either.  Maybe I need to start running the battery down first.
