I talked to a neighbor this morning who is leaving his hose caddies out. He said they're staked in the ground

so they'll be fine. He also has these small bricks holding down his downspout extensions figuring they'll help hold the downspout in place. I can just imagine those bricks flying through my windows.Oh well I did what I thought was right by suggesting he bring these things in but he looked at me like I was over reacting. Can't force him to do the right thing....I'm of the mind to prepare for the worst and hope for the best!!
