We are happy to nominate Shane and the job he did installing our huge wonderful motorized rolldown screen, motorized extruded aluminum shutter, lexan panels and manual rolldown screens.  Shane is an employee you should be soooooo proud of.  He was prompt, kept going like the energizer bunny, and seemed to enjoy his work.  There was no doubt that he knew what he was doing and wasn’t going to accept anything less than a perfect result.  His agility on a ladder and at handling the products, materials and tools were amazing.  He was extremely professional and proud of his product and employer.  Shane made sure we could operate the equipment before he left and we really appreciated that.  We really appreciated how clean he left the site at the end of each day.  Shane and the Storm Smart products are of the highest quality and have added so much to the security, safety, sun protection, value and beauty of our home.
We can’t wait to shop for new porch and patio furniture and to finish off the new look with a screen enclosure over the patio..
Thanks also to Frank for all his patience in working with us to help us discover what was best for our needs.

Sincerely,
Cliff and Mary Wood

……The eye of weakening, but still powerful Hurricane Earl may head directly over Nantucket around Midnight going into Saturday morning.   Forward motion may add to storm winds, especially if the eye passes just to the west and crosses directly over the Cape.

Even if the eye passes just to the east of Nantucket and just off the Cape, hurricane force winds will be experienced with significant tree damage and loss of power.    The worst-hit areas, will likely be Nantucket and on the Cape east of Yarmouth.   The farther east you go, such as Chatham, the worse the potential for damage.

Conditions will rapidly improve by late Saturday morning.

Fiona is traveling in Earl’s wake, and may get stranded near Bermuda by late in the weekend and fizzle.  Fiona is not a concern for the tropical weather of the U.S.

Tropical Storm Gaston will slowly strengthen through the weekend as it heads west, then west-northwest.  I think Gaston barely becomes a hurricane by the end of the weekend, as the storm has plenty of warm water, but is fighting off dry air.

Once we get to Tuesday, Gaston will be nearing the Leeward Islands.  At that point, the storm will need to be watched closely.  Gaston may turn into the Atlantic like its predecessors, though I think there’s a very good chance it does not turn immediately, and strengthens as it moves near the northern Leeward Islands.

If it gets into the Caribbean farther south, then it has the potential to run all the way into the Gulf of Mexico late next week as a powerful storm.

The forecast for Gaston is a matter of forecast model speculation at this point, and no one should be alarmed.  However, if you are traveling to the Leeward Islands next week, keep abreast of the track of Gaston.

Storm Smart Industries recently sponsored the Storm Smart Safety House at the Fort Myers, Florida Imaginarium (Hands On Museum). The display includes a Hurricane Hub where guests can “ride” the hurricane hub. You are asked to wear glasses and a volunteer starts up the machine, you feel tropical force winds and then you are able to hit the remote and pull down a Storm Smart mounted remote roll down screen and feel no wind!

The Storm Smart Safety house includes a slide screen in four different colors that is accessible to see how it operates as well as a display of broken impact glass. Last, but not least SS installed Lexan panels and a device where you swing a hard object at the panels and see how well the panels work against flying debris.

Storm Smart also provided two new computers were children and guests can learn all about the weather and storm tracking,

Your admission package to the Imaginarium provides hours of fun and entertainment for the entire family through hands-on science exhibits. You will enjoy the new 3-D film, SOS Planet, a hands-on experience at our marine touch tank with stingrays & more, exhibits displaying live fish, sharks, turtles, swans, and iguanas, daily Hands-On Fun Shows with LIVE animals, the opportunity to become a TV weather forecaster in our mini-studio, the Sporty Science Arena, a virtual sports simulator, and so much more!

We believe our new StormCatcher screens are the coolest job of the month for three reasons: quality of the workers, quality of the work, and the end result.

Our installer obviously knew exactly what he was going to do and how he was going to do it from the moment he parked his truck in front of the house.

His thorough command of the procedures allowed him and his assistant to work meticulously but very efficiently, wasting neither time nor effort while accomplishing and exercising quality control of each step with no hesitations, backtracks, errors or do-overs.

The finished product, with all seams and hardware sealed and concealed, appears so much part and parcel of the original construction that no one will identify it is an added enhancement.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is issuing advisories on Hurricane Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl. We are also monitoring a very large tropical wave just off the coast of Africa. The tropics are getting very active and that can be expected for this time of the year. The peak of the hurricane season is or about September 10th.

Hurricane Danielle is located 640 mile northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands and 860 miles southeast of Bermuda. Danielle has winds of 105mph and she is moving towards the northwest at 16 mph. Hurricane Danielle is expected to slow down its forward speed as she starts to make her turn toward the north. Danielle is a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale and could become a major hurricane by Friday. Danielle is not forecast to make landfall at this time, however all interests in Bermuda need to pay attention to the track of Danielle.

Tropical Storm Earl is located 695 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands and is moving west-northwest at 16 mph. Earl is expected to remain on this track for the next 3 days. Tropical Storm Earl has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and is forecast by the NHC to become a hurricane within the next 48 hours.

That’s the word from the National Hurricane Center in Miami Tuesday morning as Danielle works its way toward the west-northwest at about 20 miles per hour from a spot roughly 1,000 miles east of the Leeward Islands.

Meanwhile, an angry red blotch on the center’s storm-track map just south of the Cape Verde Islands signals a mass of thunderstorms that stands a 90 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.
