Craig: When hurricanes visit you have two big problems: wind and rain. Rain should
not be too much problem if you use a quick draining bonsai soil. Wind, however, will
wreak havoc if you haven't made adequate or appropriate preparations.
Indoor storage is almost always a good idea with hurricanes. Under your
benches is almost always a bad idea. High winds will toss around anything which is
not anchored. Even a well anchored item may be damaged by other things being turned
into missiles, e.g.. branches, neighbors' lawn furniture, loose boards, shingles, etc.

Forewarned is forearmed! ;-)

Yep. Waiting it out here too. Last thing I heard was that it will hit the NJ
coast first tomorrow. I already have plans to bring trees inside and stash some under
their benches if it looks like it will get nasty. Just have to wait and see.
