Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekends. I'm in Richmond Virginia and have begun preparing for the possibility of Hurricane Florence impacting my area, and I'm sure there are others on AS from Virginia South who're doing the same. We've gone to the store for extra ice, bottled water, supplies, groceries, and meds. I've also gotten fuel for the generators, saws, and all the vehicles. We have batteries, flashlights, lanterns also ready in the event of power loss.
I've gotten several saws ready as well to be completely prepared, not only for my home, but my Parent's and neighbors too. Homelite 8800 with a 36" bar for large trees, Poulan Farm Pro 375, Poulan 4000's, Homelite SXL's, and my Stihl MS 310. PPE includes my Stihl helmet, chaps, overalls, steel toed boots, gloves, and safety glasses. We live in a good neighborhood with great neighbors and we all work together when events like these happen. I think this is "what it's all about", working together like a family. Let me be clear: I'm not touchy feely, but I believe in family.
So, to all the AS family members who may be in the path of Florence, be smart, be safe, and take care. Best, Max.
