@just sayin Thanks, I will look for them next time I’m there. I’d like to put some in a bucket as part of my hurricane prep kit. Very thankful that we are not projected to be in the path of Delta. Prayers for those who are.
I just drove all around Ferry Pass Middle school and I didn’t see sand anywhere. Are you sure it’s available there? Did I miss it somehow?
You purchase them at Lowes or Home Depot.
Where do you get the bags to put it in?
