Going in to hospital for work now. I may have to stay..not sure yet.
It is my heartfelt prayer that everyone who is wondering if they should evacuate, does it. If you’re wondering, you need to. This is not going to be like one of our afternoon florida storms, fast and intense. This is going to go on for HOURS.
God bless...
I suspect you have packed an overnight bag for the possible stay into tomorrow. Godspeed. Check in when you can.
Stay safe! Will be saying a lot of prayers!
And even IF they survive the storm with a fairly intact house with no flooding there will be NO POWER OR MUNI WATER/SEWAGE for weeks, maybe months. The house we live in right now was w/o power for 4 WEEKS after katrina and muni water for 4 weeks as well. And we’re over 100 miles from the coast. It was a hot, humid, buggy hell w/o even clean sheets after a while. And beanie weenie out of a can gets old. Fast.
The ‘stayers’ are thinking about making it through the storm. It’s the aftermath that sucks bigtime. This neighborhood threw a party when the power came on.
Further south, when the power went out the a/c’s shut off. By the time they got power restored, the heaters clicked on (it was after Halloween and Katrina hit end of August).
Stay safe.Our storm chaser left last night for parts unknown.Have to talk to my daughter to find out.On going prayers for everyone.
