[Coco] Yet another hurricane....

[tonym]

Well....got half the hurricane panels up tonight, got the generator
yesterday, waited in line 2 hours to fill the cars up, and fill up 3
5-gallon gas cans, already got bottled water, canned food, etc...


The anxiety of waiting is the worst part of these damn things.
Then, they take like 6-10 hours to pass.


Hopefully, I have prepared well.

To anyone else in hurricane alley, good luck.
We may need it with this one. She's packing a serious punch, and almost
twice as large as Andrew, packing almost the same winds, and hasn't hit the
warm gulf waters yet.
