live in Florida. To tell you more I live in Brandon Florida. In hilsbrough county. I live in a house. It doesnt realy flood much but the pool some times over flows. What do you think we should do to get ready. We got water and can food. Do we have to do anything to the windows? I know we are inland but just wantt o be safe. i want to get ready asap, i go to school wendsday and my wife cant help me so i have to do it alone. I am 23. almost 24. Should I get gas in a can what? Also I have a deck and it lays on the ground it has dirt on it. It floods some time and that backs up to a slideing door next to our house. Should I put sand bags next to low windows and the door to the slideingdoor and the soor into the deck? Should I lower the water level in the pool or leave it? It is in the ground pool and isnt covered. Who has to evacuwat in hilsbrough and where do I find out online? is there a state of emerncy in FL? I am in school not her. The only reason i ask this info is becuase we cant prepair to much becuase I am doing it alone becuase she cant do much as i said. My wife cant. I know it is only ts and maybe a H1 but strong t-storms with it and winds and maybe torando. I just wnat to be safe thats all. yes I just moved her two years ago but I know its not to much to worry about but I want us safe. Didnt know if sand bags should do it or should just wait to see what is going to happen. I didnt know what would happen in brandon anyways?... read more
