Hurricane Irma Preparations, Horowitz Tiki Hut Construction
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session discussing the weather conditions in Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. They report on a text from a friend named Horowitz who is preparing his boat and a newly constructed Tiki hut for Hurricane Irma in Florida. The construction of the Tiki hut reportedly required specific blessings or involvement from American Indians to bypass certain permit requirements.
