provide one of the radio station where we provide weather updates to right back
to you guys
it’s to thank you very much
Mark o well helping you get
ready for this year’s
hurricane season.
>> If you’re not prepared for
potential storms it’s not too
late to save
on getting supplies that you
might need a news for jax’s
continuing its partnership with
ace hardware to help you build
a kit that fits.
>> So you’re ready for any wild
weather of course you can see
we’re looking at news 4 Jax
meteorologist Richard Nunn
hanging out there
he’s joining us live from ace
hardware on
♪
University looks like it’s
having a good old time there
like usual.
>> You know
I was coming or and so I was
just over talking with a no win
here a system management how
will hear how long
7 years this is how he greeted
me he says man I used to watch
you and I was in elementary
school. Thanks noman fed makes
a
guy feel old eye anyway we’re
here is hardwired this just
University West. And we were
talking before that in addition
to the folks coming in and
getting the stuff that they
need for the hurricane since
we’re talking about very there
in the Gulf of Mexico.
But each one of these and
you’ve seen it you witnessed
it. These are like neighborhood
hangout. I mean it’s so cool
that when people come in
they may not know that they’re
going to end up walking out
with a bird box but whatever
they need when they come in you
guys, it’s like an extended
family. Yeah
over the years as he con people
always need something from the
household. So they come in
>> as far as he can come out of
the growing commanders for a
chainsaw just as it would
you need.
>> And of course if they do
need help with the kit that
fits in this is what we’re
talking about earlier not all
of this stuff is going to be
something that sits on the
shelf and it’s not used for
years if you do camping or if
you’ve got kids that like to
take the tense out in the
backyard to do a little back
yard camping 7 I’m gonna miss
not the record.
Battery stuff like this is
always usable. I’m an avid
camper and hiker
and said you know things that I
can look at and go hey I can
get some use out of this as
part of
my camping or even as part of a
you know my hurricane
preparedness kits and of course
there’s things that
when it is really getting nasty
says one of the few places
actually where you’ll find.
This is a really cool kind of
dam, this is a quick them so
think about it as sort of a
sandbag without all of the
extra weight these actually
activate with water so you see
where this is sitting in front
of the door.
You can put these in place and
then as the rain starts to come
in these are a nice
alternative. If you have say a
low garage, I’m in the garage
door that comes into the House
and garage likely would
flood first you can put these
inside of the barrier door for
going into the House and in his
first the garage can always get
a screeching push that out and
when things are off. That means
the electricity
anything from charcol stuff so
that you can continue to cook
and who doesn’t like the
barbecue and or you can go with
the gas rounds
and then the paraffin oil
that’s are also nice for
outdoor Tiki torch type lights.
They offer a nice light and
some of these you can also get
you know it gets really buggy
and mcgee after the Hurricanes
they also have some of that
that repeal some of the insects
that come in and bite which
actually goes to the next out
there which is you take care of
the mosquitoes here
in northeast Florida. Nolan as
far as getting
everything ready here when it
could be a hurricane in the
kids have you seen now berries
in the tropics have people been
coming in and getting their
checklist. Preparation
is key. If you don’t
prepare but in June and August
but I’m a hurricane hits very
hard for us to keep up with
demand and we’re talking about
that even with the generators
which is also on the checklist
the last year you guys sold
out, but were able to get
another round to come in and
continue that supply and I
believe you said was
Caterpillar Caterpillar,
you know. All the friends weak
areas. Well they came in with a
lot of people out especially to
some new ones in need.
>> A lot of people that live
off oxygen and you know.
Dinner is a huge huge part,
gas cans as well he has
struggled couple years but you
know with proper you know
preparation and stuff like that
definitely makes a lot easier
for and us and everybody else
though prepare for
hopefully not the worst and
hopefully not the worst, but if
it does start to come this way.
>> It’s a neighborhood hangout
its ace hardware almost on
every corner the corner that
we’re on right now is just off
West University.
The big rebuilding kind of a
Quonset hut looking place come
on and hang out we’re here
until 11 o’clock if you have
some questions about your kit
making it fit all be glad to
help will see here at ace
hardware and if I can help you
know men will back to you.
>> Thank you Richard we do have

download on your phone to track
