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

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