Hurricane

cubano · Oct 5, 2016

So with these hurricane about to pound Florida, I fully expect to lose power and my first thought was my GH in the fridge. Anyone know how long it's good for sitting at room temp? In powder form.

What GH is it? "Generic" or pharmaceutical? If it's pharmaceutical I can find documentation for you on that. IIRC, it does not need to be refrigerated prior to being reconstituted - just kept below a certain temperature.

Edit:

From an old post of mine on another forum:

Saizen® 5 mg and 8.8 mg vials reconstituted with the Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol) provided should be stored under refrigeration (36°–46°F/2°–8°C) for up to 14 days. **broken link removed**

All Norditropin® products must be refrigerated prior to first use. Do not freeze. After initial use, Norditropin® pens can either be stored outside of the refrigerator (up to 77°F) for use within 3 weeks, or in the refrigerator (between 36°F and 46°F) for use within 4 weeks. **broken link removed**

The reconstituted solution should be stored under refrigeration (between 36°F and 46°F) for up to 14 days. Avoid freezing reconstituted vials of Serostim®. **broken link removed**

Between uses, store your GENOTROPIN PEN 5 in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2 °C to 8°C) in its protective case. **broken link removed**

Humatrope must be kept refrigerated (36° to 46°F [2° to 8°C]) before and after it is mixed. Source

My Serostim's are to be stored at room temp before mixing (59-86 degrees F)

No worries now right? We didn't get the hurricane in South FL, but if you're still worried you can give me your GH

Well here in South FL we could have had a Cat 4 Hurricane with a brunt of it hitting WPB. The worst of the storm will be over by midnight or so.....You're sister will get a lot of rain and some winds, but the hurricane portion of the storm will be missing. It's too late to turn enough west. Worst your sister would get is power outage. It's passing east of where it was forcasted to hit.

What you're looking at in yellow isn't the hurricane. Just strong swells on the coast, lots of rain and maximum winds would be tropical storm gusts. Also that's from 12 noon Eastern time (the image you have up). It didn't follow that trajectory.

Now it's Central FL that will have to worry a little to see if the storm turns enough west or not.

My wife knows a guy that must be inland some because he has decided to stay in his home. He says there has been trouble in the past with looters coming in after you leave and stealing you blind. Guys living down there, is that common?

Is not that common, it has happened in major storms like Andrew in the 90's and Katrina in 2005. But here anybody who cross illegally the border into my property becomes automatically a bag of lead. No questions asked. The law is pretty clear equally for everybody.

Exactly. Most of those in the direct line of the storm on the coast would be foolish to stay behind. I guess I would try to pack most of my expensive stuff in our cars and head out, leave the rest behind for insurance to hopefully cover. The storm will claim much too I am sure. Perhaps move some stuff upstairs on the 2nd floor if you have one? Looters will have the pick of what they want because its not like the police and guard have the manpower to protect people's property.

Spent the last few days hearing how I was going to die, be washed away, struck by lightning, tsunamis etc.. it rained less then it normally does for swfl.. if anything on my side of the state the storm offered some reprieve. To those effected , all the best .

This 100%. Got a stiff wind and that's it. I know they have to but the news gets everyone all riled up, gas stations running out of gas, supermarkets running out of water, bread, etc. Everyone putting up shutters. Seems like the world is going to end. And then in the end, nothing but a little wind and rain.
