BZ Tailgate and Hannah Contingency Plan

[Pride]

The forecast still looks good for Sunday... and hopefully Hannah moves east of us... but just in case, I feel it is good to be prepared for the "What If" of Hannah landing on top of Buffalo Sunday morning.

I have a 12x12 ft tent. Does anyone else have any tents to bring and use? Can we bungee a tarp between 2 SUV's?

If you have ideas or offers.. post them here to see what we have for "Just in case"

I'm actually looking into buying a tent for the BillsZone tailgates this season. It's something we definitely could have used last year and after suffering in the rain for a ****ing pre-season game last week, I decided that it's about time we get ourselves one.

I just hope Hannah doesn't keep me from watching it on TV. Storms that big usually knock out my satellite or at least my HD channels, and it looks like the storm is coming through just in time to ruin both the Notre Dame game and the Bills game.

[BAM]

I've got a huge canopy I can bring along if you want. I don't remember the dimensions off hand but I can check tonight when I get home. It's very easy to set up also.

You might appreciate not being able to watch the ND game.

We're trying to stay dry and your worried about your dish getting wet?? LOL.

Good luck there!

no, I'm worried about not being able to watch the games at all. I'd rather be wet at the stadium then at home dry with no signal.

Damn, you guys have tropical storm worries up in Buffalo? What's next, a blizzard at the Jacksonville game next week?

[BAM]

I thought you were coming to the game, Op?

nah- we're trying to save money for a big trip and I can't get the time off from work right now anyway.

That sounds like a good idea. Definitely bring it along.

Quick! someone swing by Ops house and cut his satellite dish cable!

[BAM]

OK will do.

It's 16'x16'. Here's a pic:

Should I bring balloons too?

No, just the canopy will be fine.

IMHO..... really dont think you guys have much to worry about. by the time it gets that far up north it will be just a low pressure system. the way the jet stream is this year it will be farther east then you think. i predict no rain all weekend. maybe overcast for saturday half of the day and nothing but clear skies for sunday.

[OpIv37]

question: how will you guys hold those tents down in the wind? Stakes don't work too well on concrete/gravel.

[BAM]

If it gets too windy we'll just tie them to surrounding vehicles I guess.

Or whoever's passed out on the ground.

i think you will have to worry more about the wind then the guys up north. the app. mountains are going to destroy that storm if it even makes landfall. if anything i see it grazing north carolina maybe here at va beach but thats it
