Tightened everything down and put some blocks around the tires. There really isnt much else I could have done. It is just going to have to ride it out like the rest of us.
Smart to make this post to show to your insurance agent

First, towing that boat gets me about 7-8Mpg. So fuel is an issue. Plus, my wife is a first responder at the local hospital.
I’d take the boat and leave the wife but that’s just me

One thing I saw mentioned by the Coast Guard was reminding folks to take the emergency beacon deals out of their boats. They said with every storm they wind up going on a few wild goose chases for beacons that people left in boats. Don't know if it would apply to you, but I found it noteworthy and forgot to link the tweet here.
I have a Garmin handheld and use it for epirb. I brought it home with me along with my lithium jump box. It has a usb connector on it and I can use it to charge things if need be.
I figured I could use the Garmin if it got to that “crazy”. LOL.

There are just a lot of issues, as usual, that we considered. First, towing that boat gets me about 7-8Mpg. So fuel is an issue.

I don't have any skin in this game, but I am worried for all of the wait-and-see'ers in Tampa that the most recent models and comments may convince many In Tampa they are in the clear, when they may not be.

The track moving further south is insanely good news for Tampa

Yeah Tampa may escape the worst of the surge but things are getting worse for points south.
