We are having a hurricane party. It is not a party loaded with booze to get drunk. It is a time for neighbors to get together to feel comforable for what we will all experience. Some are nervous, others have been through a lot and can share their calmness. Just being good neighbors.

Some harsh comments on here just because people still want to get together have a little fun. Don't have a party if you don't want to. No need to be a jerk to those that are.

Yeah...what they said. Just a little harmless fun. Oh, and every time a lawn chair flies by, everyone takes a sip! Cheers! And be safe!

Ah... let see him try that in the same speed winds at 40 below, and snow and ice, which we call blizzards....

Fossil remains prove that many herds of dinosaurs gathered together in what appears to be "asteroid parties". The start of a tradition.

We're having a "get together" no one will bash that.

Last Hurricane, granddaughter encouraged HER college friends who now live on the coast to stay with us as they were apprehensive. We had met her but not him. They were very nice, but they came two days before Irma and cooking for Millennials is sometimes tricky. It was nice, but added to the stress.

We are celebrating doing this Hurricane in our comfortable clothes, you all know what I mean.

Better than a party.

Looks like there is a chance you just might have to cancel them hurricane parties ....

Take the time to get things in order in preparation for the pending storm. - Check, done.
Keep a close eye on the weather forecast. - Check, done.

All set, what to do now?
Choice #1, sit and worry and fret over what is outside my control.
Choice #2, be with friends, find comfort in their company, wait out the storm and pray for the best, and have a drink or two.

I think I'll take the Florida route and go with choice #2, now pass another beer, please.
