Default Irma Prep You May Not Have Considered

I have the sliding panel screen doors on my garage. I took them down today to prevent flying debris damage. It is quick and easy to do.

Anything that could damage a metal door, will go thru the screen like butter.

If you have Queen Palms and they are accessible, you can consider pulling off the bark that is ready to come off anyway. At high winds, they can become unwelcome missiles. I did one tree this morning and got about a dozen pieces of bark...that was surprising considering it was serviced about a month and a half ago....I might need new lawn guys.
