Hurricane Advice

[Ursuline Chick]

Not to mention the earthquake in Mexico and the fires in west US. It's like everywhere you look something bad is/has been happening. This must be a taste of what it must have been like during the world wars. Always something awful going on.
(I'll tell you what, though, it puts some perspective into the things that usually bother you.)

Yes!! Like be greatful for what you have and help your fellow man in any small way you can. Bravo potato chip, we all need to reconize that there is always someone who has it worse and could use a hand.

On a lighter note, have the hens in Texas starting laying regularly yet?

Mine were only "off" for one day!

Now it's getting personal for me. I've got a very good friend in Sarasota. That's looking at the moment to be ground zero. Hope the cone keeps shifting to the west.

[somebody in the panhandle]: No no no! Back to the east!
[somebody in Miami] No no no! Back to the west!

Folks, can we do a role call of all Floridians riding this out? and as soon as you can, please post your status. I'd like to follow our friends who are out there going through this. And know they are ok after.

That's the hard part about living in an area where you get hurricanes. You don't want it, but you feel awful about hoping it goes somewhere else!

For those in Florida, chick-fil-a locations are offering free filtered water if you bring in clean containers. Since I'm sure bottled is long sold out.

On one hand, it's good to have warning so that some preparations can be made or people can leave, on the other hand, waiting, waiting, waiting, is awful.
Will you be getting storm conditions up in NC, bunnylady?

For a while there, it looked pretty likely, but things look rosier for us with each update. We might experience tropical storm conditions on Monday or Tuesday, but for us that's nothing, and not set in stone. I'm no longer worried about us; it's the folks to the south and west that are really under the gun. Once she gets done trouncing Florida, it looks like Irma's remnants may park themselves in Tennessee for a day or two, maybe meandering down into Alabama before finally getting pushed off to the east. Harvey may not have been quite as unkind to those folks as to some in Texas, but they got pretty wet . . . they really don't need more tropical moisture.

Do I dare share something a guy tweeted?
"The West is on fire.
The South is under water.
The East is about to get real windy.
Detroit has never seemed so safe."
