Today I want to share, with as many people as possible, my experience with some plastic storage container bins, during hurricane Irma in Tortola British Virgin Islands. My story goes like this:
As most of you might know my husband and I were in Tortola BVI when hurricane Irma passed over the British Virgin Islands and other Caribbean islands. As the hurricane began to blow through the islands and intensity its speed, my husband and I went into the bathroom of our apartment and sat on the floor.
Eventuallty we moved to the closet in our bedroom to seek more secure shelter (or so we thought). In the closet there were two large plastic storage containers and I had my curtains in these storage containers. Each set of curtains were in huge ziploc bags.
When we moved from the bathroom to the closet my husband and I sat on one of the large plastic storage bins and placed our feet on another large bin so our feet would not be in the water. The apartment was flooding by this time as the water was coming in through the roof.
I am amazed that these plastic storage bins supported both my husband and are still going strong. All the items are secure and undamaged. In one small plastic storage container bin I had some adult coloring books and materials and this bin was in the second bedroom of our apartment where alot of the rain was coming in. I was really surprised when I opened the container and saw that all my books were dry!
These storage containers mean so much to me right now that i just want to spread the word - GET SOME STORAGE CONTAINERS and store your items! Currently we are using two as tables as our dining table was destroyed and I have 2 more by our bed as bedside stands.
