I hope you and your family get through the storm unscathed with minimal or no damage to your property. I commend you for being prepared and willing to help your neighbors as well. I wish for you the most benevolent outcome. May the source, the one force be with you and your family. Stay safe and well Tom.
Thank you Bob! We got through it with minimum damage. Just some trees that got trashed. Our house and car is all good!
Stay safe! I love your videos! 😎
Thank you Michael!
A tip from disaster prone Japan. What we are advised to do if and when we have a major earthquake, typhoon, volcanic eruption or even extreme snow and the water supply is cut, is to wrap plates and bowls in clingfilm/saran wrap and place the food on the top of it. This helps to preserve water supplies as the need to wash dishes is greatly reduced. Everything else you mentioned, is pretty much standard procedure in the event of typhoon/hurricane preparedness. I hope you come out of it unscathed.
Thank you for this great tip! I can even use it this tip when traveling in my RV and run out of water. 🙏
I’m more inland and everyone is somehow both cool and freaking out. If you’re closer to the coast stay safe.
I know what you mean... people here are making hurricane jokes and downplaying it but sometimes it gets quiet since everyone remembers last year. All the best to you guys!
My goodness Tom, I realiy pray & hope you and your family will be ok, and we appreciate your updates and ideas you share with us. Blessings to you and family
Thank you so much for the blessings. Thank god we made it alright with this one. Most of it hit hard north of us. I hope they're doing good.
Never knew you were in Florida! I thought you were in Canada! I am fan of your channel and have watched your videos for a while been never seen you mention this!! You and the the family ttay safe!
Thank you! Yes I lived in Canada for a long time then moved to the US and lived all along the east coast from NYC to Florida. Slowly made my way down here over the years.
Stay safe! Best of luck to you and yours!
Thank you!
Hang in there Tom! Excellent Content as always!🙏🇺🇸
Hello from North Carolina! I hope that everything will go well without any damage. Good Luck!
Hope so too... you guys might also get a piece of this one if it keeps on tracking north like that. Thanks!
All the best and stay safe
❤
Good luck!
Thanks!
Stay safe!
Thank you!
Did you move to Florida? Wow so cool bro, I live in FL for 19 years and I learned a lot from you whn I started my career
Yes I moved a few years ago. Where in florida are you?
All the best to you and your lovely family. Stay safe!
i dont get why yourd ever rely on a gas generator in any scenario, over solar, just kit out an electric van (or caravan in Tom's case), with LFP power system, Victron, additional solar for ground deployment, wind turbine for when you reach steady weather etc
Fingers crossed that it bypasses your area...your area needs a break this year from the videos that you showed.
Yes we do need a break! Many people still have the blue tarps on their roofs and some businesses are still closed and repairing.
Stay safe
Thank you
I'm sorry you live in a place where hurricanes are common. It saddens me to see those terrible images of destruction of your homes after the passage of the hurricane. But if your houses were built of reinforced concrete instead of wood, the damage would be minimal or almost non-existent. Another thing that surprises me, why don't you stock up on (frozen) foods, gasoline, clean water at the start of the summer hurricane season instead of rushing to grab these necessary items?
In Italy we do not have the hurricane season, but torrential rains (called water bombs) that can happen any day of the year causing landslides, flooding of rivers that unload their violence on homes, overwhelming cars, industrial and agricultural warehouses but the houses remain intact because they are built in reinforced concrete. This is what I meant: to build your houses in reinforced concrete instead of wood.
Good luck and God bless you
I love Florida life so I feel happy to live here other then when a bad hurricane hits. I lived in a lot of different places around this beautiful planet and each place has good and bad things to offer when it comes to climate. Most homes here in Florida are build out of reinforced concrete. unfortunately concrete can't be used to build roofs. So when a strong hurricane comes it also creates lots of small tornados and when the high winds come they destroy the roof. Once the roof is gone everything inside the houses is destroyed. Another thing is that most of Florida is so close to the sea level. So any bit of strong current that a hurricane brings, the towns are flooded. Some people build their homes out of concrete and up on a raised concrete foundation so that they are not affected by the rising flood waters... but once a house is raised higher it also means the roof is more exposed to high winds and those homes are usually the first ones to lose their roofs. I did see other technique of building homes out of solid fiberglass, or enclosed metal so the roofs don't get ripped off. Plus a few other building techniques that each have their plusses and minuses. The biggest thing is the price of the homes. A stronger build home will be a lot more expensive than a cheap mobile home that gets ripped up in a hurricane. What part of Italy are you in?
I thought you lived in the northeast somewhere, we are basically neighbors
I did live in NYC and then moved around on the east coast until I made my way to Florida. Where are you located?
I’m as far north of Tampa as you are south. Get in touch if you’re ever looking for help with a video project.
Oh wow you guys are closer to where its hit. How did you guys get through this one? Hope all is good!
Hang tough, Tom.
Thanks! We got through it with minimal damage. Most of the wind and water hit far north of us this time.
