They probably figured the wind would take them down before the cars do! That I've seen happen!

I am going to guess that you are a newbie. They are always removed prior to the threat of severe weather to prevent them from being possible projectiles. Whether they are there or have been removed, it is always wise to slow down before entering a community. People walk, some with their dogs or children/grands. Most of us are retired so I can’t understand why everyone is always in such a hurry anyway.

Well, he did join the forum over two years before you did, so there's that...

Seriously???? I'm a newbie????? That's rich!

Let's see, lived here 6+ years, 7400+ posts on TOTV with 4900+ thanks for posting.

Of course I know why the gates are down, I was reminding those who don't know. The little stop signs on stands that go up when a gate is down is not a great idea for an approaching hurricane, but they have put stop signs on the gate shacks in the past. In either case, the point was to remind everyone to be careful
