So hurricane Matthew came through Jacksonville yesterday. Kathy and I decided to stay in town and sit it out. We had everything we needed including food for a month, 200 gallons of fresh water, full gas tanks and full propane bottles.
We were lucky! The wind blew some branches down off our Willow tree in the back yard, but that's all the damage. No leaks either. Heck, we didn't even lose power which I find amazing. Well, we DID have a couple of electric flickers, but it was only for a second.
People at the beach didn't do as well, and that's one of the reasons we didn't buy a home on the beach! One good hurricane can wipe you out!
Cheers, Steve
