Well I got beer. Then ran back to the store and got more beer. I'll probably go get some more beer. Oh yeah picked up 100 pounds of 16ct brown shrimp yesterday ($3/lb)
Outerbands are starting to hit us now. Supposed to make landfall within 30 miles, thank goodness to the east. Estimated storm surge for the Neuse is 7-9ft so the water is really gonna start backing up around here.
The big water ferry fleet Hyde and dare counties will be shutting down soon. Cherry branch and Auroa ferry will run until they can't get the ramp down or 65mph winds.
Gonna move the boats today. Gotta get one moved to another dock with a higher roof. Got two in the yard under trees. And another that I would pull, but the man has the trailer all ripped apart, so it needs a roof.
I sure hope that she'll track back east again, cause right now it looks like Bogue Banks will be the landfall, a thirty mile move west the eye is coming over me.
I think I probably need to go get more beer.
First time in over 20 years have I seen Hubby get aggravated over Anything.
We faced Hurricane Bob with him not so worried, but this one has him in a most unusual mind set.
I awoke at 3 am,. to his pacing back and forth trying to plan for where the eye would hit and what part of the home would get the most damage.
Who the hell is this man and what has he done with my husband??????----Freaken Pod People.
Never seen him in full survival mind set before, -- I suggested we rent a U-Haul for a couple days, put a matrice, food ,water and the pets in and head for the mountains. These storms only last a few hours but if worse comes to worse we would not have to pay for a motel for a week.
This is becoming collective hysteria, there will be damage and lives lost but we have to make an escape plan in case of loss of roofs or whatever.
Medication is a problem for those in hard hit areas, getting a few extra weeks on prescription drugs is a no brainier. Our insurance will give out extra medication if on vacation, why not in a potential storm emergency????
What a great time for a storm to hit, no one gives a flying fart about Obama and politics, all the hysteria is focused on survival from a storm. Lord knows what Obama and his troops can sign into law as we all head for the hills.
Will Obama stay in DC or be safely in some cave in the mid west------Memories of Queen Bess and husband staying in London as the Germans bombarded the city around them.------Will Obana run from nature not a human enemy or stand strong and proud in the Capital and face what his people have to face??
Darn but this will be interesting.
