0:10
preparations for a storm it's going to
0:12
be making landfall according to the
0:15
projected Maps tracking it across the
0:18
ocean hurricane Milton in about 48 Hours
0:23
well a little more than 48 hours should
0:25
start getting some high winds lots and
0:28
lots of rain if not before that
0:30
and I'm taking today to prepare going to
0:34
go out purchase some things get some
0:36
items that I might
0:38
need and just run some
0:41
errands and get ready to hunker down
0:44
which is the terminology of the
0:46
meteorologist usually use I'm inviting
0:49
you to join
0:50
me it's storm prep day cuz tomorrow the
0:54
day before the
0:56
storm don't want to wait till the last
0:58
minute so doing it 4 days 8 hours before
1:01
but it's already starting to it's
1:02
already starting to rain probably not
1:04
the outer
1:05
bands but it could be probably not
1:08
though join me shall you and I'm going
1:12
to have to put away the Halloween decor
1:14
today so I'm also going to go byy Home
1:16
Depot or a place similar to that get
1:19
some big tubs which I'm going to need to
1:22
get
1:23
anyway with the season ending I'm going
1:25
to need to have a place to store some of
1:26
the stuff in the garage
1:33
but yeah got to put you away
1:33
buddy if not you're going to end up
1:36
dangling from the roof on Market
1:44
Street so got to pack all this stuff up
1:44
definitely do not need this out here
1:46
during high winds very very extreme high
1:48
winds this cat would never be seen again
2:04
so this is on the agenda also pack all
2:04
this stuff up put it in tubs put it
2:14
inside then hopefully when the p storm
2:14
passes and everything's good to go I'll
2:15
put it back out before Halloween sound
2:17
good to you up there better safe than
2:20
sorry
2:21
right right skeleton wonder if I should
2:23
leave the spider up there though the
2:26
spider might
2:28
be used to
2:30
it's probably already actually it's
2:31
already wet the spider's already
2:34
wet maybe I'll move the spider inside
2:36
we'll see should be pretty easy to pack
2:38
all this stuff up though took longer to
2:39
put it out than it will be to just throw
2:41
it in
2:46
boxes love that the mini ears were a
2:46
nice touch I have about 3/4 of a tank of
2:49
gas price of gas here is 329 over here
2:52
at 192
2:54
also not a real tree
3:04
however already starting to be people
3:04
filling up which they should I'm one of
3:06
them out of fuel these are on most of
3:09
them I found one that didn't have one of
3:10
these on it fuel's already starting to
3:14
starting to run out people people
3:16
fueling up Home Depot lot looks a little
3:19
Fuller than it was the last few days
3:21
when I was over here getting yard
3:23
skeletons the reason you want to get gas
3:25
is not because you're going to go travel
3:27
or anything I mean some people do leave
3:29
town you just want to have gas because
3:31
after the storm it might be a few days
3:33
before fuel trucks can get in to refill
3:36
the gas so if you're doing local errands
3:38
ascept you want a full tank I've got 3/4
3:40
of a tank so far but if I can find some
3:43
gas I will definitely top it off my
3:46
sandbags are already starting to looks
3:47
like they're starting to be dissipated
3:49
here off the pallets got a couple cases
3:51
of water here and they do have some
3:53
batteries I definitely need some double
3:54
A for some flashlights and it looks like
3:56
the water is already there's Santa there
3:59
saying but the water's already I didn't
4:01
get the big pack of batteries I just got
4:03
a small pack they had a limit four on
4:04
the Water Guy before me grabbed two
4:07
person after me grabbed two I grabbed
4:08
two and now as far as far as that that
4:11
pallet of water is empty I probably
4:13
won't need these but I got some duct
4:16
tape I got some duct tape and I also got
4:19
three 8x10 tarps in case you know case
4:21
something happens to a window or a tree
4:23
branch goes through a window I can put
4:24
that over the window if if need be just
4:27
in case I may never open these but cuz
4:29
cuz I sure afterwards there won't be any
4:31
of these a lot of people buying wood
4:33
also you can also put wood over your
4:36
windows I'm not going to go that route
4:38
but it's pretty smart though buying
4:41
Lumber Lumber a lot of people getting
4:42
Lumber here should probably get some
4:44
toilet paper too maybe paper towels I
4:46
needed these anyway at home not even not
4:49
even without the storm so get some of
4:51
that I have a couple flashlights too but
4:54
probably should get one extra one I
4:55
might
4:57
have might not just be me at the house
4:59
all right I feel okay now because they
5:01
brought out more pallets of water plenty
5:04
of water here at at the moment now I
5:06
know I'm going to have to get more tubs
5:07
in this but this is a start I think some
5:09
of the bigger skeletons I'm just going
5:10
to have sitting in one of the lower
5:13
rooms a little bit of a backup of the
5:15
line though seems like everyone's got
5:16
the same idea getting supplies also got
5:18
a assortment of like nails and things I
5:21
realized they didn't have like a lot of
5:23
different Siz Nails I got some rope for
5:24
the tarps and all that just you know
5:26
just in case and some cleaners and
5:27
things to for the house
5:40
fuel 315 a gallon here at the 192
5:40
711 corner of Vine and
5:45
hogland 192 there Vine Street hogland
5:48
there found some gas and it goes without
5:51
saying there will be no helicopter tours
5:54
happening over the next series of
5:58
days kind of makes makes me wonder where
6:00
do they where do they store the
6:02
helicopters when a high wind storm is
6:06
rolling
6:07
in cuz usually they're right
6:11
here there a few of these on 192 but
6:14
have to store them somewhere all right
6:16
now over to
6:17
Target parking lot's a little Fuller
6:19
than
6:26
normal I think when I get back it's like
6:26
a golf cart around town see how it
6:29
they're doing in
6:36
celebration but we're not going to stop
6:36
off here at Target I think I'm only
6:37
going to need two spots I got the gas
6:40
Home Depot got quite a few things there
6:41
and the rest of stuff on my list I can
6:44
get here at Target assuming they're not
6:45
sold
6:53
out limit to on the water over here at
6:53
Target but man they have a lot of cases
6:55
of water and I decided to go ahead and
6:57
get a Monopoly game and a chest game
7:00
haven't played uh haven't played
7:01
Monopoly in a while but might have some
7:03
family coming over most likely so maybe
7:06
a little Monopoly and little chest right
7:09
there I also ended up get I got a few
7:11
kind of like $4 towels I don't think I'm
7:14
going to get sandbags but I'm going to
7:15
shove these uh under the garage along
7:17
the lining of the garage door and then
7:20
also under the front door to keep the in
7:22
case any water does try to like kind of
7:24
creep in possibly some preparing going
7:27
on over there by the workers all right
7:29
I'm back to downtown
7:30
now 78°
7:33
142 it has been upgraded to a hurricane
7:36
in fact a category 5 this hurricane
7:39
hurricane watch goes till tonight at 700
7:41
however it's not making landfall for a
7:43
couple more days so that's probably
7:44
going to go on for a few days as of now
7:47
this is what they're showing the rest of
7:49
the day and through the rest of the week
7:52
I would imagine it will go up to 100% I
7:55
parked mini Marge down here and I'm
7:58
noticing everyone's pulling down their
8:00
decorations including the
8:01
church getting rid of the Inflatables
8:04
that are around the pumpkin
8:12
patch see what else is going on downtown
8:12
as everyone prepares I still got to get
8:14
back home and put away all my stuff I
8:16
was noticing this when I came in it
8:18
looks like someone is doing some good
8:20
deed doing a good deed taking their
8:22
truck around and picking up scrap and
8:25
garbage which is really nice like uh
8:27
just stuff is kind of laying around so
8:29
it doesn't get all wind
8:32
blown I would imagine that's what it is
8:34
just trash around town that way when the
8:37
storm comes through all that stuff
8:39
doesn't end up in someone's
8:41
window just assuming that's what that is
8:43
and if if it is that's a that's a nice D
8:45
that they're doing that picking up all
8:47
that all that uh
8:49
debris post office out doing their
8:57
job everybody's still at work but I
8:57
would imagine come Wednesday a lot of
8:58
places
9:00
won't
9:06
be so I was doing a little digging
9:06
online you never know if stuff is true
9:07
or not but saw a few articles and some
9:11
information that when this was built cuz
9:13
it was built by Disney that they built
9:14
it at an elevated above the water
9:18
table so if that's the
9:20
case if that's the
9:23
case basic for what I was
9:26
reading doesn't flood much here and
9:29
celebration not a lot of flooding
9:31
because of just the way it
9:38
is didn't really read too much about
9:38
past experiences with storms came
9:39
through here that there was a lot of
9:41
flooding only in a couple areas of town
9:44
do not believe my area is one of those
9:47
wh there goes a buzzard going by there
9:49
what
9:55
the also there are no power lines above
9:55
ground here all the power lines are
9:57
below the ground again doing a quick
10:00
peruse of the interwebs seeing past
10:02
storms that have come through here very
10:04
rarely if ever has celebration lost
10:08
power caffeine
10:10
acquired piping hot caffeine caffeinated
10:13
beverage
10:16
acquired I was reading that over on the
10:23
coast people are being Evac they told to
10:24
leave that area one thing about Central
10:27
Florida in in regards to storms usually
10:31
people from the state if they don't
10:32
leave the state they will usually come
10:34
here to get away from the coast so I
10:37
feel like Central Florida is a pretty
10:40
good spot to be in in something like
10:42
this again you never know what's going
10:44
to happen because it has hit pretty hard
10:45
here before but compared to the coast
10:48
it's a it's at a little bit better a
10:50
little bit better area as far as the the
10:52
winds go but even with that these things
10:54
are nothing to mess around with you
10:58
definitely want to take precautions
11:05
thing I'm always worried about the most
11:07
are the fact that tornadoes could whip
11:08
up at any
11:11
time and trees falling trees through
11:14
windows and on cars
11:18
not not good so two of my favorite yards
11:22
that are decorated for Halloween have
11:25
taken down a pretty good chunk of their
11:27
stuff there was a lot of inflated over
11:30
here in that yard they removed all of
11:35
them don't want
11:37
Inflatables Landing in the middle of
11:39
Magic Kingdom from here the carts are
11:42
out I'm going over here by the library
11:45
where there are sandbags see if there's
11:47
any sand left over here I'm not going to
11:49
use sandbags but curious to see what the
11:52
situation is oh I think this is where
11:54
the sand
11:56
was they're all out of sand
11:59
so at
12:00
210 p.m. sand is
12:20
sand but you know what there's another
12:20
area up here maybe there's sand up
12:28
here sandbags keep the water from coming
12:28
in so if you put sand in front of your
12:29
door put the bags the water rushes in I
12:32
think where I'm at I'm okay I think I'm
12:34
elevated enough where it won't be an
12:36
issue but Taking My Chances and it looks
12:39
as if station number two sandbag station
12:41
is empty as well so there were two big
12:44
piles of sand earlier there were was a
12:47
huge line of cars and I was pulling back
12:49
into town going stretching all the way
12:50
out here that line of cars has
12:52
dissipated because there is no more
12:55
sandbags a couple deliveries
12:59
so I'm really hoping those that needed
13:00
it got the got their
13:09
sand if you're on lower
13:09
levels like a on a right on the water
13:12
table or below the water table I don't
13:13
even know what I'm talking about I've
13:14
just heard that term used actually it
13:17
looks like this part of the gate is
13:18
closed just just to let people know you
13:20
can't there's no more sandbags I went
13:22
around just like the people that were
13:24
back in there just to check it
13:26
out stay safe
13:30
Town Hall's
13:44
closed hey you know it's getting serious
13:44
when the house here that does decor for
13:46
every holiday is already taking all
13:49
their stuff down this this house goes
13:52
above and beyond every holiday in there
13:54
almost got everything back down
14:01
as is the neighbor
14:01
next next to it they put up all their
14:03
Decor yeah I got to got to go take mine
14:05
down all right I'm definitely going to
14:06
need another bin or two but I am going
14:09
to put a lot of this stuff back out but
14:12
I got it put away for now just need to
14:14
sweep up in
14:15
here got the headstones the
14:19
spiders
14:22
skeletons all put away I actually
14:25
surprised I was able to concisely put a
14:28
lot of it in the two bins I think maybe
14:31
another bin I should be good and I've
14:34
cleaned out the garage a little bit too
14:36
to try to get a car in
14:38
there so I had to move some stuff around
14:41
in there too got it charging up the gym
14:46
E2 but I made room for a vehicle in here
14:50
so I moved the treadmill tilts up there
14:54
I moved the weight bench from over
14:56
there was against the wall kind of at
14:59
that Angle now I got it over here in the
15:03
corner this is kind of neat how this
15:05
tilts
15:07
up so I think I got room I don't think I
15:09
could get two cars in here but could
15:11
definitely get one car in here plus mini
15:15
Marge guess I got all this got all this
15:18
room here probably should sweep this
15:21
out lot of people trying to fuel up over
15:24
here at the
15:26
7-Eleven most amount of people I've ever
15:28
seen getting gas at 7-Eleven this
15:30
7-Eleven good thing however is that
15:32
there is fuel
15:51
can't iy power
15:51
pole Straight
15:54
Ahead clouds already starting
15:57
to formulate over
15:59
here going to pop in Publix get a last
16:02
few last few things here yeah they were
16:04
definitely running low on water even
16:06
though while it was in there they
16:07
announced they had water delivery at the
16:09
back they were bringing some out by
16:11
pallets and the bread eye was kind of
16:14
picked through as well I got a few items
16:16
nothing vital but just got a few other
16:19
few other
16:24
things double bagged it plastic little
16:24
weighted
16:26
down I think while I'm over here
16:30
right beside this fantastic Publix an
16:33
Italian ice Place Jeremiah's Italian ice
16:35
over here I'm going to get some Italian
16:36
ice oh yeah went with a mango right here
16:39
they filled it up pretty good it's only
16:40
like $5 in change for pretty decent size
16:43
mango Italian ice from Jeremiah's
16:46
Italian ice which is located so you got
16:48
Mickey power pole you got the Publix
16:50
there and you got Jeremiah's right over
16:53
there one thing's for sure this thing is
16:54
ridiculously good also I cannot think of
16:58
another another tabletop game like board
17:02
game that's Superior to Monopoly I mean
17:04
there's a lot of them like real
17:06
strategic stro Battleship great games
17:10
but Monopoly it's like the
17:13
quintessential so glad I got that
17:16
probably be utilizing that over the
17:18
next if we're hunkered
17:21
down also a little chess set
17:25
here used to play chess a lot when I was
17:27
