It was just announced that all major grocery stores are closing east of I-95 in just a few minutes, so time is running out for all...preparations are coming to an end, and it is time to hunker down and hope for the best.
The last hurricane that hit the Galveston/ Houston area was not nearly the size and strength of Matthew but it was a disaster for the whole area. (Can’t remember the name) . First people who were in no danger of storm surge thought they heard they should evacuate. Several friends sat in traffic jams for 9/10 hours until they were almost out of gas and they turned around and went back home.
We are 60 miles from the coast at my house and we had no electricity for 10 days. Gas stations either had no gas or no electricity. Street lights didn’t work. Grocery stores were open but food was limited to canned goods and it was dark inside and cash registers didn’t work.
It was a weird world, I am sure other coastal area learned from our mistakes.
