Hurricane Dorian

Hurricane Dorian began on August 28th and became a category 5 hurricane that hovered over the Bahamas wreaking havoc. The hurricane was projected to hit us in Jupiter and so we made preparations. Our house is made of concrete block construction and has hurricane windows, so we planned to stay put.  We stocked up on canned goods, water, and propane. We gased up our cars and tried our best to prep our yard. Trevor took down fan blades and speakers outdoors. We moved our outdoor furniture indoors and prepped our garage so our dogs could pee and poo if needed.

Those without hurricane windows, used plywood to board up their windows and closed their businesses. School was cancelled. Our friends, the Nelson's decided to evacuate and headed north to visit family for a few days.

Thankfully, the hurricane turned and worked its way northeast along the Atlantic coast missing us. We had some rain and high winds, but nothing scary. We stayed indoors and made the best of it. We taught the kids how to play Acquire. We're thankful we remained safe!
