Hurricane Dorian and impact on Florida Glider operations

As we all look at the weather it is difficult to not see all the attention presented by Dorian, the big monster headed our way. Most of the last two days were spent preparing our club here in Vero Beach for what could be a devastating blow. All gliders were boxed and stored, I moved Eileen's ASW24 to home and also my ASW27 and locked them down in the hangar at home. I am moving the two Pawnee towplanes today, one is coming home here and the other is being located to Jet Center at Vero Airport.
The impact of this storm could very well deal soaring here in Florida a sizable blow. SLG, Tampa, and North Florida could all be in the path of uncertainty. Good luck to all, hunker down!!

Models as of this morning indicate it will shift east.

Suck it up Nancy, I shot myself in the thumb with a nail gun putting up panels just so Dorian would turn north.
Beat that!

It's not real until we see a YouTube of the incident. You can fool a hurricane,
but you can't fool RAS!

I don't do UTube, and can't attach a picture here,(or even a pdf of my
Urgent Care visit) so you will just have to believe that I was stupidly
falling off of a ladder about the same time that Henry was stapling
himself to his house. I will live and hopefully so will Henry. Perhaps
we will even be a bit smarter. ;-)

Ret, don't be so cheap, spend some cash and get real shutters. Nail guns went out with stripe toothpaste.
