Wed/Thurs: "Bomb cyclone" aimed at California

8. This is not an ad for a product, but hopefully some useful news for those battening down the hatches

Or whatever else you might want to batten down. I saw this tape at a building supply place, and the promo material made this stuff out to be as far ahead of duct tape as duct tape is to Scotch tape.

It was called "Hurricane Tape." so named because it can purportedly be used to tape sheets of plywood over windows or doors, and it will hold them in place through a hurricane.

They demo also included a guy taking a piece of the tape about 6' long, and taping the front end of one vehicle to the back end of another with about a 6" overlap of tape, and without winding the tape into a twist, the first car was able to tow the second.

It was really convincing, but where I live, the need for a $15 roll of tape is pretty low, so I didn't buy any. I hope that, should any of you decide to try it out, it works as well as advertised.
