And I am fucked.
According to the current forcasts, the pending hurricane is going to hit me dead on for sure. I am not sure how long I will be gone now, since even if I get to a shelter, it could be days before I can leave the area that I am in.
Welcome to hurricane country. I will be taking lots of pictures, BTW. It is really nuts out here. Even trying to get gas is a huge chore. Its truly amazing. Lines of 20 cars for any one pump, beer flying off the shelves (not so much the food, from what I understand they put a ban on alcohol when the hurricane hit the last time.) and there is still so much damage left from the last hurricane that all the roofs are tarped over in blue, and there are uprooted trees and tons of debris everywhere.
We went to the beach tonight. All the sand has been washed up onto the pavement, but there is none left on the beach. The waves were crashing is in huge swells, and the winds are gusting up to 25 miles/hr, even though there is not a cloud to be seen. Its really interesting. The feel here is that of impending doom and destruction.
I am a bit worried about it, since I have Misha with me. I think that it will be fine. Its just a weird weird feeling.
On an up note, tomorrow evening before they make us evacuate all day Saturday (which should prove interesting in and of itself) we are heading to Sanctuary, which by all accounts should be a pretty good time.
Don't worry about me, though. We have stocked up on beer and are ready for this storm to hit.
AND THEY HAVE DUNKIN DONUTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GONNA STOCK UP ON THOSE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
