BeeMaster2:
For those in North and South Carolina, please keep yourselves safe and out of the way of this storm. If your hives are in a high area, strap each hive individually and then strap them down to the ground with anchors. If they are not on high ground and you do not have the ability or time to move them I would at least put straps to hold them together. If they float away they will bee easier to find. You can also tie a rope to the straps and anchor them to a tree.
I hoping for the best for all of you and my prayers are with you all.

We're strapped down tight. We're on high ground,  but pine trees have a small root ball so fall easy .

Van, Arkansas, USA:
Please keep us informed Mr. Mikey.  I hope you only report rain.
Blessings

Mickey,
What type of pine trees do you have. Ours are yellow pine. A 6 foot tall pine already has 18 inch deep roots. My 75 foot trees have roots over 10 feet deep. They may snap but they do not plug up the roots.
