Hi Friends!

My DH & I live in SE FL and have dealt with several hurricanes. This morning we were talking about Irene and DH reminded me of one more tip to help protect your belongings.

It seems that when homes are destroyed in hurricanes the pictures I’ve seen still show the dishwasher, washer and dryer intact. You can place valuables that are breakable in your dishwasher, washer and dryer. (i.e., anything breakable, heirloom pieces, sentimental breakables.) We've done this for the hurricanes that hit us.

Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Be safe! (((((HUGS)))))

My DH thought of this when we were preparing for a hurricane. I was saddened to think that my Grandma's dishes and glasses could be destroyed and there was no room to bring them for an evacuation. He thinks quick on his feet.

You can also wrap them in kitchen towels for added protection.

and the dishwasher has a latch on it for extra safety.

what a great idea...for the precious things.

Along that line of thinking, in case of fire - the freezer makes a good place to store papers.

Scrap Happy.... did you get lots of the hurricane last night? I watched it for hours and it looked scarey enough for me not to live on the coast. LOL. Hope everyone effected by the storm is fine today and no damages or floods.

Hi Debbie! Thank you my friend, we are just fine. We got rain and wind on Thursday & Friday. Not hurricane force and she was far off the coast of FL.
