Miami-Dade issues a mandatory evacuation. It isn’t easy to hear that you’ve been ordered to evacuate your home. Knowing that we can’t take it all with us, I came up with the idea that we could move all of our stuff up to the second floor where a 10 foot storm surge wouldn’t get to it. This seemed like a good idea at the time and required lots of man power to get it up the stairs and organized. Taking it down after the storm felt like even more work. I don’t think we’ll be doing that again. Special thanks to the muscle, mateonow.com
