As Hurricane Fay approaches southern Florida, many residents are putting their hurricane panels in place on their homes. These are pictures of our house with the shutters in place. They are made of corrugated aluminum or lexan plastic. The lexan allows for light to enter during the daylight hours and is a strong plastic. It takes me about 45 minutes to put them all up and secure them with wing nuts along the bottom edge. This hurricane should not be too bad and the amount of rain will depend on how fast it moves through the area. As the weather forecasters all say, "Fay has the potential to spawn tornadoes as it passes through in the next 48 hours". I'll keep you posted as the days progress.
