bttt
notice how a responsible governer gets all this bureaucratic stuff taken care of BEFORE the storm hits so that you don’t have mass chaos afterwards...We ought to be very thankful that we have grown-ups in charge of our states most vulnerable to hurricanes now. Isn’t that right, Ms. Blanco?
Ahhh...looks like now it will have a glancing blow at us here in the Daytona area before moving on up to Charleston...could be an eventful end of the week...
Cheers Hanna!
State of Emergency huh. And my wife is heading to the beach for her weekly visit.
Directly in? It is farther to the west.
