Tropical Storm Andrea came ashore in the Big Bend area of Florida on Thursday and even though the storm went north of Sebastian we had quite a bit of rain and wind from it. We got 3¼" of rain out of the storm and no damage. With all of the rain we got from Andrea we were glad we had the rain gutters installed.
Today we drove down to Vero Beach to attend the Hurricane Preparedness and Home Show at the Indian River Mall. There were a lot of vendors showing their products - storm shutters, rain gutters, generators, solar screens, windows, garage doors just to name a few.
We talked with Chuck at B&C Cool Sun Screens and signed up to have him come to the house and measure the screens on our Florida room. The room faces west and gets really hot in the afternoons and the solar screens would be a help.
We left the Home Preparedness Show with brochures from several of the vendors and stopped at Olive Garden for lunch. After lunch we did some shopping at Home Goods and went out to the Vero Beach Outlet mall before going back home.
