In Charleston, and Man is seen preparing for Matthew.

[Cigar]

Philip is opting to stay in #Charleston and bubble wrap his door.

This is his first #hurricane but his neighbor told him he'll be fine.

WTF does bubble wrap do? :huh:

And with painter's tape?? :huh:

Can someone please keep an eye on this Guy and his obvious Special Needs? :laugh:

[Safety]

W.T.F.

Is the bubble wrap something he is going to use to pass the time when the power goes out?

[exotix]

To keep out the 7-11 ft. water-surge ... LOL

I think bubble wrap is for wrapping wall paintings and things that might break that you're leaving behind.

But the doorway? Too funny.

And what's on the other side of his chair? Potting soil?

[hanger4]

The bubble wrap is probably all he has. It would serve the same purpose as plastic.

I'm sure the Painter's Tape will help keep from damaging the exterior. :laugh:

The potting soil could replace sand bags.

[Private Pickle]

Good thing that orange cone is there to keep people aware of the potential bubble wrap danger... And what's up with his bracelet?

[hanger4]

Could be all he has.

[Cigar]

Could be all he has.


But if he just puts the Chair in front of the Door, that will do the trick. :laugh:

[Cigar]

He should be more worried about the potential of Fish getting in ... :laugh:

If anyone needs help protecting against flooding, don't call Cigar. Clueless

Good Idea, they should Call You. :laugh:

[hanger4]

Good Idea, they should Call You. :laugh:

It's obvious you have no idea. It appears this man is making the best out of what he has.

[jimmyz]

If you look at the placement of the taped bubble-wrap he's using it to seal the space between the bottom and sides of the door in the door frame against rising water up to about 24". I agree that the bags of soil, if it is soil, will be used as makeshift sand bags at the bottom of the doorway.

[Tahuyaman]

So, a man wants to stay and do whatever he can to protect his home and idiots ridicule him.

Why don't you go help him ...

[Cigar]

Yes ... Bubble-wrap and Painters Tape ... it's F'cking Funny as Hell to me. :laugh:

Maybe you should take a Fluids Dynamics Class

[AZ Jim]

The bubble wrap is probably all he has. It would serve the same purpose as plastic.Wrong. Bubble wrap contains air, when it come into water it floats thus pulling up the painters tape which won't hold it anyhow. If the potting soil is to replace sand he is an idiot, do you know how potting soil drains water off? Let's face it, he is a dumb ass.

No No Please ... let them try to rationalize it ... it's Fun to watch. :laugh:

[Cigar]

maybe you don't have a home worth trying to protect?


A) Don't buy in a Flood Zone
B) Don't buy in a Flood Zone
C) Don't buy in a Flood Zone

[Tahuyaman]

Holy shit!

[Cletus]

It's obvious you have no idea. It appears this man is making the best out of what he has.

Agreed.

I would love to see all these forum "experts" in any kind of a real crisis. I could probably make a fortune just selling adult diapers to them.

[Cigar]

I'd take a nice Vacation for the weekend ...

... and if the Home is damaged ... call State Farm

[Tahuyaman]

Why do people want to ridicule someone for trying to protect their home?

I get the feeling that some people are upset when people try to take care of themselves instead of following the directives from government.

I also get the feeling that many people are disappointed that this hurricane is much less severe and destructive as predicted.

Aren't you taking this just a little too personal for a Friday ...

I thought the picture and what he was doing looked funny, get over it.

[Tahuyaman]

Agreed.

They would blindly abide by government directives, allow their home to be severely damaged even if they could have prevented it, then cry for government assistance.

The correct term is personally and no, I'm not. I don't take your nonsense personally.

You know...that's actually not a bad idea if you can't take your car to a dry area.

that will definitely protect the paint from the damage caused by bird shit.

[AZ Jim]

People don't understand a 140mph wind it would seem.

[Cigar]

There you go, I knew you had a since of humor. :laugh:

^^^ is one of those people who is disappointed that this hurricane isn't turning out to be the one which represents the standard for climate change.

[Rebel Son]

I doubt anybody in Florida has anything funny to say about the entire thing. Nice to sit on the sideline hundreds of miles away and make fun of people, I can see why you support the socialist party Cigar.

Well at least you got out with your underwear :laugh:

[Tahuyaman]

Watch the media coverage of this hurricane. You can see the disappointment in some that there's not massive destruction to report. They are really working hard to sensationalize the unsensational.

[Rebel Son]

I'm outside of Orlando right now, any more questions? I've tracked it from wed. decided to stay and could have made the wrong choice if it went west just a bit.
To answer you question however, no. I'm here working.

Then get the F'ck inside ... why are you arguing with me. :laugh:

I have property further south in Pembroke Pines and West in Naples ... maybe in a few years I'll be in Bonita Springs :wink:

It's nice for the most part but inland there are bodies of water ever mile or so that stink, really stink. Smells like a sewer overflow on an rv. People are friendly however, even in the rv park I'm in. Didn't expect that.
