Have they shut down the electricity?
The Weather Channel announced a while ago that they did. I suppose it's wise to try to prevent additional damage, but it's going to be hard on all those people who were busy buying milk yesterday. I did wonder about that--I'd be buying water, myself.
Of course, it's easy to talk in faraway Colorado. Drought and blizzards are all we normally have to deal with here, and I'd take either one over a hurricane. Thanks for this excellent thread, NautiNurse, and anyone in the path of this hurrican has my prayers.
