I echo what Dune said x10. On my sandbar we get some damaging storms from thunderstorms to hurricanes. What Dune said is the truth. Great way to get your name out if your an honest hard working scrapper. Great way to get blacklisted, rep ruined, etc if your a fly by night scam artist, thief or jerk off.
For example..When Irene came barreling through my sandbar last year, the sound side (west side) got brutalized. NO other way to put it. Sound had the water sucked out then rushing back in, destroyed alot of homes sound side. We had tons of out of area people come down, with that group I'd say 75% were of the honest, do good, scrapper kind of people. The others..jerks, aholes, and scam artists an thiefs. We had people driving by houses grabbing what ever they could grab. Whether at the curb, in the yard, on a deck/porch, or in a garage. It was rather disturbing. I won't even get to the jerks who came down an ripped people off on rebuilding homes, etc.
So yea, good idea to do so, just make sure the stuff your taking is for taking an not out for storm related reasons. With irene people had to put stuff near the curb line for the insurance folks, an such.
Sorry for the novel. :P
