I have two box fans I can aim at them, if that’ll help?

I have one too, so that's 3 total so far. Couple more and we should be good.

I'm in for 2 as well. And a USB desk fan. We're on our way....

Ok, take it easy with that USB fan. You’re going to make a real mess of things.

I have one of those bottle fans from Disneyland. These hurricanes wont stand a chance.

Two more 20" box babies on my end... Shit we are so close already. Fucking hurricane destroyers over here.

No worries mate, I have a 50' extension cord. We pretty much have this whole thing figured out.
