Hurricane Check-List for McNulty Lofts
After Fay passed us by, the notes below remain a useful reminder for future alerts. If a hurricane watch is in effect:
• Balconies and patios must be completely emptied from anything could blow away. Heavy items must be tied or bungeed down.
• Absolutely NO gas generators on the balconies are allowed. These are a violation of fire code.
• Keep your balcony doors closed and sealed at all times during the storm (please see instructions downstairs or ask a neighbor how to do this properly).
• We may face the possible loss of electricity. This means that the building may be without water. It may be a good idea to fill up your bathtub. This will help flush your toilet in the case of power outage.
• If we get a blowing sideways rain... it is a good idea to have a few towels ready to soak up any water that may enter the building.
• Please photograph and describe any damage to the best of your ability; this could help subsequent claims.

Terrace Doors
The balcony doors in our condos are rated for 130 mph winds -- but only if they are properly closed.
Here are the instructions for how to close the doors to your balcony.
If you have a single door leading outside you must fully close it and then pull up on the handle. This sets the pins into the top-bottom and sides of the frame. Test that the door is properly closed by very firmly pulling on the door to see if it opens. These doors are designed to handle 130 mph winds – you cannot hurt them by trying to pull them open.
If you have double doors leading outside you must fully close the left side door and then pull up on the handle. Then close the right side door and pull up on the handle. This sets the pins into the top-bottom and sides of the frame. Test that the doors are properly closed by very firmly pulling on the doors to see if they open.
With rainy season coming, it is imperative that our terrace doors be properly secured. Otherwise when we have wind and rain it is possible for water to enter your unit and then find its way to units below. Please consider the damage you might cause to another’s unit. It is important that all of us follow these simple instructions. Please also check your condo insurance and liability insurance to ensure you are adequately covered for any damage your un-locked doors may cause for units below you.
