Thank you, God bless!
Except the governor
Bitter eh? I 100 percent love my state and my governor!
@@TKCL Ouch. He's copying the actions of the NSDAP. If you love that, I pray for *you*.
@@TKCL i mean you complained about power running on pylons, who do you think makes those kinds of decisions? (and this is the LEAST BAD decision he made)
We will be praying for you. Looking forward to getting an "all clear" update from you after the storm passes by.
Thank you
FINALLY an actual vlog instead of a news station -- I've been searching for something exactly like this for AGES with this current storm. All of the news channel interviews are exactly the same and just focus on the buying/store/long lines aspect versus the actual prep work at home. This is super educational. Good luck with everything down there and stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it, just a look into our everyday life.
Oh god, and I just got to the tornado shelter portion. What an incredible shelter, I am so jealous. You have thought of absolutely everything and it looks so comfortable.
Thank you, big build series on the channel showing it.
I'm keeping all of Florida in my prayers. Be safe, Andrew - it looks like you and Tiphany are ready to ride this out.
Take care and God Bless.
Thank you and God bless!
At 20minutes, I am reminded that the electric utility crews that I worked with installed "pole-top split bolts" at 90 degrees like you described. They provided a great deal amount of resistance to top splitting.
Great to hear!
Andrew I hope you and Tiffany stay safe. You just may look like a genius after this is all over by adding those big bolts in your roof posts. Tiffany, no breakfast on the Blackstone. Seriously, praying for your family safety and minimal/no damage to your beautiful home.

Couple things. For those relying on gas generators. Don’t overlook filling your boat gas tanks as well. Get you a hand pump from Harbor Freight. It was a life saver after Katrina and gave us a few more days of running while the gas stations were brought back online.
The other tip is to thin out your beautiful oak tree. They will act like a sail getting pushed on by the wind and wet grounds and their roots don’t run deep enough, even 100 year old ones will push over from the storm. I know it’s too late now but something to think about in the future.
Very good point and I should have mentioned it. My boats are full and so is my mower. I have AA powered fuel pumps for removing fuel.
Hope you're all right. Praying for your safety. God bless.❤
I like the way you prepare. Hard lessons are the best teachers.
I thought that I was almost by myself in preparing.
I see first hand the damage these Hurricanes and Tornadoes do. I am in the storm cleanup business.
I must admit, you do have an edge on me, and that is good. We all can learn more. ✔️
All of our prayers sent your way. ❤
Stay safe you two. Your family is praying for you.
Thank you Mrs Lee
Praying is one thing, but god helps those who properly prepare, so take responsibility for you and your loved ones.
... and those who don't live where the hurricanes always are.
Stay safe friends. Prayers. 🙏
Looks like the worst has finally passed y’all. Praying for your safety and that you guys got out fairly unscathed!
I’ll take snow storms over hurricanes any day of the week. Keep on keepin on
Thoughts and prayers to you and Tiffany, keep safe keep the dog safe. Catch you later.
Thank you
Hope you all will be safe!!!
Praying for you all.
Thank you, God bless!
Well one thing for those of us that like to be prepared. If the solar gens run out. Fire up the Generator off my propane and charge them up... Then were up and rolling again. I find it entertaining that my friends and family pick on me for being prepared. Guess who they come to when things go south.... That's right..... Me, the prepared one..... You can believe I give them all kinds of business about it too... But I always do what I can to help. Just the right thing to do.
Nothing wrong with being prepared.
stay safe, we hoping all floridians well
The hundred dollar limit is usually a pump limit. I first ran into it back in 2005 with a ford explorer with 2 tanks, pump would cut off at $50. The limit is there to keep thefts down. Some enterprising individuals with a stolen CC and an IBC tank in the back of a pickup can pilfer a lot of gas in a very short time so they put in limits to deter that sort of thing.
Was thinking of you guys today. Hope all goes well for you guys. You are in our prayers🙏
Thank you
Prayers
My gas pump shuts down at 100.00 too. Stay safe!
Good to know
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
We started Saturday preparing for storm
Thinking of you all and praying all stays well with both of you and your neighbors
Thank you
I have that same ratchet strap for my lawn mower. It saves so much time. I have it bolted to my trailer. Good evening from Lone Grove Oklahoma my friend. We are praying for y'all!
Love those straps!
Most gas stations here shut off at either $75 or $100 mark. It’s aggravating to say the least.
Especially since gas is so high and showing no signs of dropping.
I was watching Ryan Hall Y'all and it's looking bad. As he says "Don't be scared. Be prepared."
Correct!
Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife. I know you are prepared. Stay safe and wishing the best. God Bless
It looks like you are right in the path to me. Excellent video!!! You even showed this long time New Englander some things I never thought of. Our noreasters in the winters are similar to hurricanes only add snow.
Thanks, and I would love to watch a live stream during the storm if you can get the stream going.
Stay safe Andrew!!!!
Thank you for watching! It's headed towards us, that's for sure.
Dear Andrew and Tiffany - following the storm as if our family was in the way! After these years following your progress thats what it feels like!
Fingers crossed from your friend in Brazil! Thoughts are with you Tiffany and your neighbors! Stay safe - looking forward to your all clear!
Prayers to y’all stay safe! Great prep video!
Thank you
I’ll be watching for a live from you all, if you can. Worried for you guys!
We will try to get a live out if possible. Safety first!
@@TKCL ABSOLUTELY!
My thoughts and prayers for y’all and everyone in y’all area as y’all go through what we went through 2 years ago yesterday, here in south Louisiana.
My prayers for you all.
Thank you, God bless!
Sending Prayers
Thank you, God bless!
Tying down your porch roof looks perfect. We were building a pavilion in the architect. Had a specific drawn out mechanically engineered base of the posts, it did not look like it would work but he explained and showed us in the totality of the assembly. Assembly it was stronger than any other connection😮 and it was after we looked at it. We all agreed engineers earn their money
Same here on the $100 limit on fuel in NC. Can’t even fill up my truck without swiping card 2 times.
Hoping that it doesn't get any stronger and I love your set-up
You made my heart skip a beat with the fuel caddy coming down the ramps! Lol! Prayers for you and everyone in this storms path, Andrew.
Made mine skip a beat too 🤣. Thank you!
I'm hoping you guys are ok. I'm praying for you
I hope you and Tiffany are safe 😊
Hey Kelley Fam & pup
I pray that the Lord continues to cover and protect you as well as your family, friends and close neighbors from the storm...
I pray for an extreme shift in the eye and y'all just get a little ☔
God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, God bless!
Also, if you are using your card at the pump some companies have a limit for charging outside for security reasons.Try going on the inside to use bank card it should be unlimited 🙏🏻
The 100 dollar gas thing is US Wide. I live in AZ now, But moved here from Wa State and it was the same in both places. Pain in the A$$
It is! If fuel is going to stay sky high, they need to up the limit.
Stay safe!! Praying for y’all!
$2.30 per litre (aud) in Australia we are paying. For those playing along at home 3.3L to the gallon.
Praying for all of Florida , stay safe
Thank you!
Good luck and sending prayers your direction.
Looks like the storm is heading right to you. I hope you are all safe and your home survives. Prayers that this hurricane missis your property or at least doesn't cause much damage.
Be careful brother. I’ve got a friend just east of Tampa and I’ll be praying for y’all. I just hope he’s as ready as you.
If you feel like responding, do it after when know you’re ok. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, God bless!
Hoping and wishing you all the best! Stay safe.
Hope you're all set for this one. If in doubt - don't ride it out!! Stay safe. We'll be watching for you on the other side of it.
We find out tonight! 🙏🤞
Praying for y’all Andrew and Tiffany.
Thank you
Stay safe, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you
I know you are well prepared. Stay safe!
Great video on preparedness Andrew, it always helps to have 2 or more backup plans..
And tornadoes at night suck, having internet and power in your bunker is a huge plus.
Good luck tomorrow and keep us updated 👍 💪
I hate night storms, seems like that's what they always are for us.
The $100 limit has to do with the pre-authorization that most gas stations use to prevent getting ripped off, if you are buying more than $100 in diesel try a truck stop since they cater to bigger fuel consumers. It may look strange but they regularly pump out 2-300 gallons at a time.
As a veteran hurricane person, all the preparations have been done. Floridians should be prepared but a lot do not. Have had to rescue to many in the past from post hurricanes.
Born and raised here, you learn from each one.
Hope you get no damage Andrew! Stay safe!!!
Thank you
Praying for y'all
Thank you, God bless!
Stay safe y’all. I’m sure you’re as prepared as anyone in Florida.
With gas stations cutting off the card, go inside and prepay for fuel… prevents the cutoff.
I am glad you decided against the smaller propane tank(s). And you now have much more solar power.
It makes me feel better.
We need that hurricane vlog. Excited to see your storm shelter in action.
I'm not excited to use it lol
All the Best. STAY SAFE
Andrew, I would also add the 6x6 plates to either side of those posts, that would help prevent more/possible post end flaring. I dealt with the similar force on a post in that direction and had to engineer a plate when using posts to jack up my roof overhangs when I replaced my columns. Also, your family and farm critters are always welcome over at my homestead here in Mississippi in case you really need to bug out.
Thank you! Engineer at the barn company suggested I use 3 inch square washers. I'll be ordering some soon.
Exactly what me and my family have been doing all this time. Hope you all stay safe and lets all hang on for the ride
Best of luck!
@@TKCL Thank you and same for you.
In AUSTRALIA we are paying $2.11 per litre at the moment but it changes from week to week
Praying for everyone’s safety in Florida. $6.45/ gallon in Ontario Canada for regular . $7.95/ gallon for non ethanol. Love the videos !
Thank you for watching!
Looks great - be safe brother !
Glad you are taking this seriously. Best of luck and best wishes.
Thank you
Ian kicked the crap out of us last year, there are a lot of houses that are not even repaired yet. That storm was supposed to hit up where this storm is going. Ya never know when or if they change out of the blue. I hope it fizzles out for everyone's sake!
That's right and what I was referring to at the end, you don't need another one.
I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning of the ice chest maker. Good luck with the hurricane. I’ve been through a few myself. Let’s see that ice chest maker again. I can’t watch every video but let’s bring it back to the ice chest.
Thank you for watching and the support.
Be safe!
If this thing is coming near you and you are low lying, just go ahead and evacuate. In Louisiana, we went through H Rita and there was 20ft storm surge. The National Guard was rescuing people who didnt evacuate from rooftops, with Blackhawk helicoptors. You might drown in that shelter if the storm surge is high enough. When it rolls in, it will be fast. There is a supermoon which equals higher tides than a normal full moon too. Storm surge backs up into rivers, creeks etc and floods even more..plus the rainfall. We couldnt get back to our house for a week after Rita until waters receeded enough. Even our kids school which was higher ground got 6ft of water.
I'm around 100ft above sea level and we built towards the top of our hill. No risk of flooding in the shelter other than ground runoff.
@@TKCL Oh that's good! Flooding is the worst! We are at about 135ft & rolling hills.
Be safe🙏🙏🙏
Stay Safe!
Sending the good juju y'alls way!
Good luck with the storm. Stay safe.
Thank you
The other great channel is RYAN HALL Y'ALL. Where Andy Hill started. He will be going live before landfall. Be safe. Prayers for yall in Florida
I spent the day today mostly helping other people
Good on you!
@@TKCL I've been watching weatherman plus for a few years now and he kept warning about this one so I started getting ready for something a few weeks ago just because you can never be too prepared especially having younger children like I do it helps to not be in complete panic mode
He definitely give good advance notices. I no longer wait until last minute, it's extra stress you don't need.
Prayers for y"all. Hope you stay safe.
Thank you
I paid $4.99 a gallon here in Homosassa! ❤
Keeping y'all in my prayers and all those in the path of the storm.
Thank you, God bless!
Stay safe you two !
Prayers go out. Stay safe.
Stay safe guys.
I think you have an engineering mind because you're a pretty sharp Guy and I've seen you solve a lot of problems 👍
I try!
Good day all. Happy to see you plan for what may come.
Lots of thoughts and prayers for you, Tiffany and everyone else that's impacted ❤🙏
Thank you
Yesterday, gas at Kroger was $3.39 per gallon in Evans, Georgia.
Great price!
Definitely praying for y'all 🙏. Even with the amazing prep y'all do that's the best prep there is!
Yall be safe! If you need anything after the storm, definitely haller! 💪
I live in Palm Beach County so I'm kinda breathing easy...a lil bit. I hope it doesn't get to stong b4 it makes it ways to y'all. Necessity is the mother of invention. That solar panel breakdown is on point.
I understand what you mean.
Our non ethanol was was I think $4.38 this morning in St. Petersburg at the Wawa
stay safe out there
Prayers to all in HurricanesPath.
Stay safe my friends. You have a very well designed set up that will keep u and the fam safe.
Watching closing here in Jacksonville, praying for you guys!
It looks like you're ready! Will be thinking of you the next few days.
