Sturdy shoes!!! When we have a tornado hit here, a lot of people are surprised and barefooted. They literally shred their feet trying to "walk out." So, when the sirens go off now, my kids are sent to go put on a pair of tenis shoes.

Thanks for mentioning should be better to read now  Quote:

Living on the Gulf Coast in Texas for most of my life... I have been through more hurricanes than I care to count! I also suggest filling up your gasoline tanks ASAP... before the crowds hit & you are stuck in line forever. If you do have an extra gas can to fill up... just in case you have to evacuate and end up stuck in traffic for hours on end.

As my coworker and I were watching Irene on the map pass by us by literally inches, I realized something..
In that very moment we completly trusted that storm not to make a sudden turn for us. Just saying  Please stay safe everyone!! |

Hurricanes are scarey stuff... and are NEVER 100% predictable. With 2 of the major hurricanes that devestated my hometowns (Rita & Ike), neither were supposed to hit us... but then changed directions at the last minute.
All you can do is be prepared! |

Remove everything outside that isn't nailed down, and fill your bath tub with water to use for flushing.
I am also keeping one car out of the garage, in case the electricity goes out and there is a problem manually opening the door. |

Something else I heard mentioned last night is to try and park your car in a parking garage, on at least the 2nd or 3rd level as to avoid having your car get flooded.
Rachel Maddow made a statement last night about how Californians laughed at the reaction to the east coasters after the earthquake, and now the Floridians are making fun of them for their response to Irene coming their way...she said, "65 million people in the path of a devastating storm is nothing to make fun of or laugh at." So true. Please stay safe and stock up on what you need!

People are such assholes laughing at us. Even something like that they seem to always make it a fuckin' contest.
We're not use having any type of earthquake, tremors, major hurricanes, or whatever. For people experiencing that shit for the first time, it sure the fuck is scary no matter if it was 5.8 or 2.8, 30 mile winds, 85 mile winds, rains, monsoons...whatever the case may be. No matter what scale, "potential" harm is nothing to laugh at. Let's see their asses up here in conditions of snow blizzards (or if mother nature fucked them and they got tons of snow) (not likely to happen...but) and see who laughs at who.... Thanks for the post G. Quote:

Be safe for sure. A hurricane like this and it's size is unpredictable. I am west of Richmond but I have a feeling we will get a lot of wind and maybe power outage.
however if there is anyone in harms way, needs to evacuate, is alone or with pets and no where to go please email me for my phone. I will make room even if its camping out in my barn. You MUST love dogs tho because we're slammed with them. Don't get shit faced if you are at risk. This is no laughing matter or reason to party unless you're out of harms way. Reach out to people that need help. Lots of people disabled, need rides, places to stay, help with pets. Let's help them. bigchefherbs at gmail

Per the Weather Channel:
Hurricane Irene Bearing Down on the East Coast Hurricane Irene is bearing down on the U.S. East Coast with exteme impacts expected through the weekend. Hurricane warnings and watches are posted as far north as New England. Anyone in the corridor from eastern North Carolina to the Northeast U.S. should be making final preparations for a hurricane!

There is usually a lot of wildlife and birds where I am, but I can say they have all gone...somewhere, safe I hope.
It is oddly quiet. Even the deer have taken a respite from dining on my plantings. The animals' silence makes me think we will get hit. Having survived Hurricane Emily, I doubt it will be too bad. (hope not, anyway!) Be safe all. |

I realize not all are that way. On the otherside.... One year after Katrina, (our utility people went to Mississippi to help out there) A Billboard at a very busy intersection read The Folks from Mississippi Say Thank-You for your Help After Katrina. Damn near made me cry.
