Riding Out Hurricane Milton At Home

Over a week ago, Hurricane Milton was projected to impact Florida and move across Central Florida causing significant wind damage, power outages, and flooding. Brennan and I decided to stay home for the storm and prepare with food and backup electrical provisions, and secure the yard from various debris. We fared superbly well for what we could have experienced, and spent the afternoon clearing the mild damage of fallen limbs. We lost internet and made the most of entertaining ourselves and staying occupied, but ultimately felt very fortunate for our experience. We also got Krabby Patties!

I'm really glad to know you, Brennan, Arlo, and the kitties made it through Milton safely! I'm in the Tampa area and we had a lot of branches and tree debris down but, thankfully, no major damage.

You were lucky that U did not lose power , it changes everything . Especially , over several days & maybe a week . Proud that you covered yourself for the possibility of losing power for an extended time . Your Uncle Mike in Tallahassee was prepared with two generators & did all the necessary outside & inside . He got lucky as well & did not lose power . Don’t think it was the same storm . Been in trough many Hurricanes in Florida & I can’t recall ever not losing power . Did a good job & we are proud of our EagleScout . These storms disrupt the lives of millions & smart citizens prepare for worse & hope for best .

My family and I are so thankful that you guys are okay and that the best scenario in this horrible hurricane played out. Two hurricanes too close to each other, it’s terrible! My best friend lives in Asheville and it’s been horrible to watch. 😞 also random side note, you did a great job power washing, people don’t understand how long it can take to do such a small area on concrete.

Been waiting for your hurricane updates since helene! At first I thought you were at the parks for both 😅 so glad to see you made it out both times unscathed!

Thank goodness it was only the fence that was damaged.

I’m down south 2 hours away from Orlando before the hurricane hit we had like 3 crazy tornadoes come into town. One ruined half of my childhood neighborhood with damaging the middle school I went to

Enchanteds in Lorcana are currently estimated at 1 in 95 packs or roughly 1 per case (per 4 boxes). People (that suck) weigh the Target/Walmart packs for Enchanteds (they are slightly heavier). If you buy boosters I would only get them from a gaming store (and fortunately we have tons in the area). The odds should be the same for sleeved vs box not counting for people weighing them in store.

Damn I didn’t think the cardboard blisters could be weighed. I could see that at Disney Springs where the plastic packs are just loose. But at least with each of us opening 24 packs we were consistent!

[@andrewryan6463]

@@oyby I've seen a few people weighing stuff at Springs but mostly Walmart/Target. I would really recommend going to Cool Stuff South Orlando on OBT or a similar store (I don't work for them) if you want to make sure it's not weighed. Hopefully better luck soon! I went like 3 months without any and then I got two in two days.

[@oyby]

@@andrewryan6463 Sounds like the troves are probably the way to go, then. That's so disappointing! I like the boosters!

[@andrewryan6463]

@@oyby yeah unfortunately happens with every TCG, booster boxes and troves are the way to go for sure

Did you and your brothers learn about what Helene did to the North Carolina resort your family had recently visited?

[@oyby]

Yeah we were following it pretty closely, it’s honestly so devastating.
