Flights were too full so I could not make it to Miami/Coral Gables to
check on my boats before Fay passed by. My girlfriend went by today,
but the marina won't let anyone go in (Matheson Hammock). I wonder how
fellow mariners did in the Miami area thru this storm.

Not to worry. The regular afternoon thunderstorms are far worse than Fay
was in the Miami area. As usual Fay was over-hyped by the authorities
and weather service. Their primary mission these days seems to be to
attempt to frighten people so they can herd them around like so many
frightened sheep.

How about "Home Despot" and "Blowes"? You don't think they're behind the
hype too?
Think of all of that plywood that they sell.
How about grocery stores? More bottled water was sold since Saturday
than
was sold in the last three months.

I could go on, but I think you get my drift...

It is kind-of neat to watch, though.

my question .. where does all the plywood go after the non storm passes?
i watch on tv, sheets and sheets of plywood going out the door at home
depot.
what do these people do with all the plywood after the storm? is there a
plywood
conspiracy? barack o plywood? cindy mccain using the stuff at one of the
600 houses?
can you eat plywood?

plywood.. only the shadow knows

I bought plywood once. Picked out some T111, left the sheets full as
possible and used it to build a shed afterwards. Then I built and installed
shutters.
Some people store thier plywood (and generators they bought for the storm)
for awhile then are lulled into thinking there will be no more and end up
selling it (and the generators). Then get to do it all over again the next
time.
Hurricanes are good business for roofers, shutter companies and beer
distributors!
