There's a huge storm coming! My flats will be blown away. Help!

Your flats are not entirely at the mercy of Mother Nature. They are portable and you can save them. They will be okay and will survive.

Copyright Statement

Go outside with a box or two and put the flats inside the boxes. Carry them into an unheated shed or garage, or tuck them into a crawl-space under the house, or place them in the trunk of the car. Anywhere that there is unheated shelter will do fine. Take them out afterwards when the winds have died down and the storm has passed.

Consider your flats just like you would consider your lawn furniture. You stow it before the hurricane comes and then you take it out right afterwards.
