Not sure why everyone is in panic mode hoarding food and gasoline. Almost every restaurant in TV will be open on Thursday and the only reason a few wouldn't is because of lost power. If you lose power, there will be someone you know probably within a mile of your house who doesn't and will be glad to take on your perishables. I've done it a couple of times for people who lived literally 2 blocks from me. The gasoline hoarding is what ****es me off. If you have less than a quarter of a tank, pump away. If not, how about saving some for the people who HAVE to evacuate. There are people coming to this area from the coastal areas who won't be able to get back because a bunch of panic driven folks have hoarded the gas.

I don’t know what she’s saying because her Brazilian lift gets in the way.

Weather channel app is showing 25 mph winds tomorrow. We get worse than that on a typical afternoon storm.
But panic away! |

I have always wondered about this. Do people think that the Gravity will fail? Water comes out of the water towers and the pressure is regulated by the height of the tower which is WHY there are towers. There is a lot of water in them so the electricity would have to be out for
A long time for the water to stop. So why the bottled water and filling the tub? I have no idea. The toilet paper is really weird, so you think you will have to poop more or what? Very strange.

Just like they scare people to death about gators... they make people believe they could be snapped up at any minute to never be seen again. Could it happen, it could.. but to live life like that, constant fear, not a way to live. Lived with hurricanes our entire lives. Have always been aware, guarded, and never a joke to us, but frankly since we moved this far north and central, have not really gone into this kind of "clean out the stores" type of panic mode at all. In south Florida we did have to close hurricane shutters, and many people had to board up, but here Charlie was the worst we've experienced. It was a big one, but no lives lost here, just a mess that took more than a couple weeks to clean up, haul away, etc. The one thing that struck me most after Charley, I was on 466 to see if any gas stations might have possibly opened once it passed, and that's when I saw the HUGE overhead lights that literally hung across 466 intersection from enormous "arm like" structures... all laying like a pile of junk in a junk yard all over the 4 lanes of 466. Later that week after, drove past the huge tree not far from the movie theater in Spanish Springs.... the roots were so big I could not even estimate, but when the tree toppled and all those roots came up, it took out many sections of sidewalk... stunning site. We have some gigantic live oaks here, Charlie took out quite a few.

Yep, remember well. We lived in Deerfield then. We did have steel hurricane shutters, so we never had to board up with plywood... that is one big job, we've helped many family and friends.
