Hurricane Ernesto - Chased by Depression # 6

Here is the latest projections for Hurricane Ernesto - definitely  in the Gulf of Mexico.

It is being chased by Depression # 6 on a parallel course.  It is still too early to determine the final landing spot of either storm, but that will become clear sometime late next week.

Stay tuned!

Latest on "ERNESTO's" Possible Track - How to Prepare

This is the latest possible track of what will become Hurricane ERNESTO. Right now it is expected to be a CAT 1 (IKE was a CAT 1 when it hit Houston in Sept. 2008). 

It's still EARLY but somewhere in the GULF OF MEXICO seems to be the likely landing point.

The BIG Question: Will it get BIGGER when it hits the warmer GULF waters?  We'll know more next Wednesday.

Stay tuned. In the meantime, PREPARE. Here are some tips:

1) Boarding up windows, especially on a second floor is a SUICIDE MISSION. Do you still ride a horse to work?  You REALLY want to hoist HEAVY Plywood up a ladder in a stiff wind? (If so, I want to be a named beneficiary on your life insurance policy!) Then why not have Armor Glass 24/7 protection on your windows instead? No holes in your brick or stucco either..And it provides burglar protection if you leave your house for a safer place.

2)  Get your water and food supplies NOW (don't wait for the rush).

3) Get a radio that runs on either solar or a hand crank.

4)  Call 713 -213 5080 and find out when you can get a FREE quote to protect your home and save money on your energy bills at the same time. It's unlikely we can do anything at this late date, but there will be more storms this year, and next year, and for six months of EVERY year. Hurricane season is an ANNUAL event...

It's now Tropical Storm Ernesto

From a depression it is now "Tropical Storm" Ernesto...stay tuned.

ERCOT Wants Us to Curb Energy Use - Here is Solution

We just got an email advising us to curb our energy use. Here it is:

"Due to extremely high temperatures across Texas, we are asking our customers to help conserve energy, especially during the hours of 3 and 7 pm, for the remainder of this week. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) reminds customers to use power wisely - while there is sufficient generation to serve today's electric use, new peaks were reached in July for load on the grid and temperatures continue to rise.

Please reduce your energy consumption between 3 and 7pm daily and help reduce the strain on the electric grid"

Well ERCOT, we already are curbing our use. How? By having Armor Glass Solar-Security film on our windows. While protecting from a burglar break in and hurricane force winds, the film also cuts over 50% of the solar heat entering our house. That means the air conditioning has half the heat to cool.

If EVERYONE in Texas had the same protection, we would not face these power issues AND people would have more protection from break ins and future hurricanes/tornadoes.

Technology is a COOL thing, IF you have it. Check us out at www.ArmorGlass.com and get a Free quote...

Hurricane "Ernesto" by Monday. Target: Gulf of Mexico

Weather experts predict this is the path of "Tropical Depression #5" which should become Hurricane ERNESTO by Monday, August 6.

Those of you who didn't prepare, well, good luck. The next two months is the peak of our hurricane season. This baby seems to be aiming for the Gulf Of Mexico.

It's too early to know where it will end up, so keep tuned to this blog for updates.

I can't guarantee we can do anything before it hits (its our busy time) but if you want consideration or a quote, contact us.  We have a LONG way to go before the season ends November 1...

HEADS UP! Possible "Ernesto" coming our way...

We are just now getting into the "sweet spot" time of year that storms start churning in the Atlantic.

According to experts, storms developing at this time, after a wet July, tend to get into the "slot" that drives them into the Gulf of Mexico.

A new system is developing in the Atlantic that could become the next named storm "Ernesto."

Stay tuned. We have about a week before we now exactly where its going. That's not a lot of time to get prepared.

Stay tuned to this blog for updates...

Rioters, Burglars, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Solar Heat

 

Another place that didn't "Armor Their Glass" with Armor Glass Security Film....

I just found out today that a friend's little daughter fell into a glass table. Dad heard her screams and found her with a piece of glass sticking in her arm. It required 22 stitches!  Unfortunately, there was no Armor Glass security film on that table.

Glass is dangerous, and easily broken. Armor Your Glass to avoid this in the future.
