Alright......which one of you jackals is this fella?
Damn, and I thought i was desperate.... How many older ladies saw this and thought about it, you think?
It was pretty rough in Pinellas County
I lost power at 3am Sunday morning, I didn't come back til Tuesday night 10pm, it sucked. After a good sleep in the AC gotta climb the roof and remove some big chunks of tree.
This one landed perfectly parallel to the house... My Cobra is on the other side of that door.

We faired alright. Have one large tree limb down over our private road and a ton of smaller limbs all over the place. Cleaned them up yesterday. Also had about 9 million baby pinecones that are sharp as razor blades.
During the storm, we saw 10.5 feet above tide storm surge. Rivals Hurricane Hugo. The back yard had about a foot of water in it (the whole thing), and the front road was completely covered. It was a bit nerve racking. But we survived

I saw that on the news this morning, wow!
We had about a 14.5 foot High Tide......normal was 8.6 feet.....my dock was awash with at least a foot of water and lotsa nasty waves!!
Luckily it stayed put and the tide finally fell!!

This was my backyard. And no, I am not water front.
Back to normal [lol]
LOL... I bet he didn't sleep alone, there was bound to be at least one lady desperate enough.

Can't use Imgur.
That works. Imgur has the site blocked because we have a market section.
I had my first hurricane shutter company come to the house for an estimate today. Shit ain't gonna be cheap. We're looking at an 18' roll-down door for the lanai (covers 3 sliding glass doors and gives us 300-400 sqft of storage for patio furniture, etc) and accordion style shutters for everything else.
Not surprisingly, there are companies with 3-4 weeks lead time for estimate appointments. Our next one is scheduled for the 28th.

Ehh I don't think so. Hurricane season is every season all season long down here. I know you're in FL but it's not like it gets cold down yonder. We have bad enough storms year round that it is probably a fairly steady business. I live on the coast and while we might have some cold snaps, we don't have a ton of "seasonal" businesses.
This. Plus there's plenty of competition to keep prices down.
One could also easily argue that it's pointless to shop now because the season will be over by the time they're installed.
Or 2 years from now when Irma will be a memory and these companies will be sticking brochures on front door.
I've been here 29 years and this is the first type of storm like this in Tampa, getting storm shutters installed next month for stupid money would be a quick reaction...
