Another hurricane- Ernesto- (doesn't seem to bad, category 1).
Got all my shutters up- by myself :$%&#!:
Yesterday coming back from practice, I saw these gigantic lines at each gas station. Honestly, where are these people going to go? are they taking a road trip to orlando for the hurricane, is there any sense in that? Honestly when the power is out (has to be less than a week), must you drive to publix. Don't worry you won't get a disease from walking, and considering every interesction has a cop in the middle, you'll probably be safe too.
In case you need to drive, good news:
Port Everglades is closed to public- only police/sherrifs, port everglade people, and gas tankers are permitted. So we'll have gas and most every station has a generator now- which is good considering the millions of gallons of gas they have to power the generator.
Also Know, when at gas stations, don't get to comfy. Thieves are out theiving. I don't exactly know how this works, but don't ignore your car when your pumping gas, or someone might:
1) open the door
2)sit down
3)take everything
4) lock the door (because your an idiot)
5) close it
all with out getting your attention.
Atleast the roads won't be too excessively flooded. The canals were dropped about a foot or two. Ernesto is suppose to drop like 10 inches of rain.
and for anyone still putting shutters up alone... I know what a pain it is.
BTW, I think FTL in't and MIA are closing secuirity checks at 6:00, so if your flying... umm... you had better leave now :|
