Head for the hills!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH (high feminine scream like in a 50s B scifi flick)
Nuts. People here are going hurricane crazy. Forecasts are showing that it's shifted east, so all we're likely to face are torrential rains, possible flooding, seventy mph hour winds, and a few tornadoes here.
Shit, that's bad, but that's just normal Texas fall weather. But you should see the local grocery stores / gas stations / banks / anything. I'm set up sweet, just in case, but after the mass runs people are making, the hurricane hasn't even hit yet, and there's no gas, no water, and no food to be found in town.
Scratch that, there's maybe two places in town with gas, and they had cops directing traffic to the pumps from the highway it was so bad. Meh. I've got full tanks in four vehicles (some of which I can drain as needed) and two army surplus fuel cans full. It'll blow over in a few days.
Heh heh......my left over second job delivering pizzas is making a fortune in tips though, there's no groceries to be had! For crying out loud. We face worse weather than that every year. Last fall we had a nasty two day thunderstorm and I didn't get power back for four days. The house I own in San Angelo takes a beating at least once a year with 80 to 90 mph winds and up to softball size hail. Frickin' media's got everybody in a tizzy. People are panicing like this was Galveston. Killeen'll be fine. It's Beaumont up to Tyler that need prayer right now.
