So I've got this cabinet outside on the lanai - weighs 250 lbs and it's pushed up against the house, which faces West (wrong way this this storm).

Do I have to move it, or will it be OK? Center of gravity is very low.

The storage box we have is bolted into the concrete with lead taps and SS screws - 8 of them. That should hold up OK??

Planter boxes weigh 150 lbs and are low to the ground - 18". We will move those against the house. OK???

We purposely bought aluminum furniture so that's easy to move.

Sorry for all the questions. We're newbies at this.
Never hurts to be prepared for the worst

If this thing goes where its now projected you will get some hard rain and winds gusting to 30 to 50 for a short time and thats it

It's actually nice that we have two barrier islands in the way - Captiva and Pine.

It can actually "hurt" to prepare for the worst, but is also hurts more when the opposite happens.

It's a pain in the ass, and I hope it's all for nothing.

Taking a break now.

It's not how hard the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing.

A gorilla can pick up 27 times its body weight. So an 800 pound gorilla could pick up over 20 of those grills at once.
