That's what I told my husband. Since we'll be waiting till tomorrow, it'll probably be awful weather while we're doing preparations.
My folks have a story from years ago about a hurricane "surprise" that picked up speed and changed direction in the middle of the night. Don't know what storm it was, but evidently they went to bed thinking all was well, and woke up to find that the hurricane was headed our way and was moving fast.
They tell about making outside preps as the wind increased and the rain poured. Talked to them today in Atlanta, they're glad they're on vacation and missing any excitement, but we'll have to go over to their place tomorrow and make some preparations if it seems like it's going to give us problems.
...today would have been a perfect day to do that....sigh...
..but we kept waiting for signals...
..and tomorrow will, no doubt, be rainy, windy, etc.
That may have been Cleo back in the early 60's. We were just kids then, but were vacationing in the Bahamas with our parents. We fled the storm to a motel in Lauderdale, the storm made an unexpected left turn, followed us right into south Florida, arriving just hours after we did, missing entirely the island we fled.
The forecasting is a little better now than then, luckily.
