Florida Man lives in my neighborhood?

Sumd00d posted to the neighborhood Facebook group, recommending that people prepare their lanai screen for the high winds by cutting them.

That's some righteous hurricane prep, right there [rolls eyes so hard you can hear it over the hurricane]

My thought is why not open all your windows to keep the wind from blowing them out, amirite?  Sheesh.

Be sure and leave all the doors open, and all the stoppers out of your sinks, tubs, and showers, so that if the house floods, the water will drain back out.








I'm here all week. Tip your waitress. Try the veal.

I had a project years ago which was placing windscreens, which are the same as the lanai screens, to reduce the effects of dust from piles of raw petroleum coke. The engineer specified zip-ties of a certain strength to break if the wind was high. They didn't, but if someone had taken some time before a hurricane arrived, they could have cut them in a matter of a few hours, and secured the screens without cutting the material.
