Alffe, when you were talking about what happened but didn't say what it was exactly i was sooo confused, thinking... is there a hurricane coming that i must've missed? Then I realized what you meant!
It's so interesting to me, when doody mentioned a blizzard, to think how different we all are in different parts of the country and world. Typhoons, lagoons, blizzards, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornados, snowstorms.
For us with hurricanes, its much easier having somewhat advance notice, never any sirens. And instead of having expired emergency kits, we all rush out to the store the day before and buy everything they've got so the grocery stores are always depleted of food, the hardware stores have no more wood left, and then the next stop is the gas stations which then run out of gas.
I always love hearing about snow too, stuff about chains? shoveling? heat gas deliveries? Not too sure about any of that being in the sunshine state!!
