You will find using the ceiling fans will help to keep the upstairs areas comfortable. Closing the room darkening drapes, when appropriate, will also help with your comfort. The Nest thermostat is in the dining area. During the night, the upstairs temperature monitor provides the input to the thermostat to control the heating and cooling, helping to ensure your night’s sleep is comfortable.

Please do not sit or stand on the balcony railings. They will not support you! Beach towels not to be hung over the railings.

Beach

Flagler’s Beach is Fantastic, and you will surely spend hours enjoying it. There is no lifeguard on the beach so use caution and good sense. During turtle nesting season do not under any conditions tamper with a nest. You would pay a hefty fine for disturbing the turtles or the nest.

Dogs are allowed at many restaurant patios in town.

Please use couch cover in rattan basket near the TV if your pet wants to lay on the couch.

Hurricane Readiness

1. Monitor conditions on Channels 27 and 13. Take a hurricane seriously.  I am the type to think it won’t happen to me, but I lived through Hurricane Andrew, and it was scary.

2. Storms can be serious, and conditions can change quickly.  Obey local evacuation orders. The bridges will be closed should winds exceed 45 mph.  At that point the island will be considered closed, and everyone will be on their own.

3. Staying in townhouse with no electricity and shutters closed is not desirable.    Imagine being a sardine in the can and someone is shaking it. The noise from the shutters shaking is horrific and can be scary in the dark.

4. If you choose to leave, please notify us right away so we can prepare the townhome.  If you choose to stay, please follow the procedures below:

Preparation

The hurricane shutters are rated to withstand winds of 140 – 150 mph.  Their purpose is blocking wind and flying objects.  They are not watertight.  Blowing water will go under and over the shutters.  The tracks of the sliding glass doors will fill with water which can bubble up into the interior tracks and onto the inside floor.

Following is the “ultimate” plan.  You can decide how much to do based upon the projected storm intensity.  We did all of this to prep for Hurricane Matthew, which was a Category 4, 30 miles off the coast.  Everything was fine after the storm.

1.Hurricane prep items are in a box in the guest room closet. There are water socks (they look like long yellow hot dogs, each sock will soak up to 2 gallons of water), foam cording and plastic sheeting in the box.

2. The furniture on the kitchen and master bedroom balconies must be brought inside the townhouse. Make sure the furniture on the living room balcony is behind the shutters.

3. Close and lock the shutters.

4. Place the water socks in the inside sliding glass door tracks.  Place the foam cording in tracks that the water socks won’t fit in and down the vertical edge of the sliding doors where they open. Stuff all in good and tight.

5. Roll out the plastic sheeting over the carpet in the bedrooms, along the length of the sliding doors.

6.  Pile up all extra water socks on the sheeting up against the inside sliding glass door tracks.

7. Move tables, bed side tables and lamps back from the sliding doors.

8. Close all interior doors.

9. Place garbage can and recycling bin in the carport storage closet.  Lock closet.

10. Call me please to let me know your plans and that you are OK, or you need anything.

11.  Drink a glass of wine.

11.  Most importantly your safety is paramount. 

Post Storm

1. Undo everything you just did.

2. Drink another glass of wine.

3. Wring out the water socks and place them on the balconies so they will dry out.

4.  Please call me (again, I worry about your safety.) let me know how you weathered the storm.
