1 am Saturday was over a day before the hurricane was scheduled to hit. Party problem started late Friday night.

I live on the Gulf Coast, and there's plenty to do 24 to 48 hours before a hurricane hits. Most people are boarding up their homes and businesses and making other preparations.

On the Gulf Coast, sure. In Queens, not so much.
particularly if you're a self-absorbed 15 year old and your parents do all the prep work.

These kids haven't even seen a serious hurricane in their lifetimes. And, frankly, they still haven't. So they probably won't believe the hype next time. (And some folks my age didn't believe the hype because of Gloria in 85.)

There wasn't much to do except move things out of the basement -- if you actually own the house instead of rent, that is -- buy some groceries, or just get ready to evacuate if you're by the shore.

If you are an irresponsible yute and live with Mom or rent, you don't be making no preparations
