Ain't that like a southron. Thinking about barbecue in the midst of impending disaster!
Living in the Raleigh area during Hurricane Fran (Sept. '96) we had a huge week-long barbecue after the storm. The power was out in our neighborhood for 8 days. We put up a tent, built a campfire and put out a few grills by the cul-de-sac and everyone started emptying out their freezers before the meat went bad. Man-o-man, we ate like kings all week!
I remember standing in a long line at Kroger's surrounded by people with multiple carts filled with bread, milk, toilet paper, bottled water, batteries and candles and here I was with a couple of cases of Corona, a couple of limes and six bottles of bone-suckin' sauce!
