TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy, who lives in Orlando, Florida, says that he spent the past week preparing for Hurricane Irma, loading up on food and supplies for him and his wife. They also brought in a generator to maintain power for their Central Florida house, which is in the forecast cone of Irma’s potential path.
“I’ve never done so much adult prep before for a storm,” he told this week’s DOMKcast. “Got all the propane filled, gas filled. It’s pretty crazy. Everything’s starting to run out. The gas stations have no fuel, the grocery stores are cleaned out of water… yeah, the list goes on. But I think I have everything now. I think I’m good. I’m ready to hole up in the house and now I’m good.”

Adding that he has “never had this bad of a hurricane come around,” Heafy said that he doesn’t expect he and his wife will have to evacuate during Irma.
“I’m looking at my garage right now — sandbags, non-ethanol gasoline for the generator, propane, oil for the generator, one of those cool battery instant-jumper tire-inflator things, giant plywood, tapcon screws, hammer drill,” he said.

“I am the least handy person in the world, so I guess it’s been good for me to have to do all this stuff,” he added. “I feel like I definitely am a grownup now. I did this on my own. I’m, like, ‘Wow! Cool! I pulled this off.'”
