boarding up

UG先生ご指名ありがとうございます。”board up”をWeblioで調べると「木板で覆う,板張り」などという意味がありました。文字を読んでもよくわかりませんが,画像を見るとすぐにわかりました。近所ではこの光景を見たことはありませんが,テレビの中では”boarding up”をしているものを何度も見ているのでイメージできます。(Ume)

California Cities Order Evacuations Ahead of Storm

Dana Waldusky, 22, hurried to evacuate the family home, which backs up against the burned area. She, her parents and sister made sure they had important documents, photos, medicines and their toothbrushes packed.

"We have an hour to get evacuated," she said. "We're just boarding up all our doors.

"Last time, at the fire, we had 15 minutes, so this time we made sure we were prepared," she said.

The home survived the fire, which firefighters stopped 15 feet from their back fence.

"This time there's nothing you can do. You can't stop water," she said.
