My Frances update
SO, this hurricane hits tomorrow night. Sometime probably around midnight or so is we will start really feeling it here in miami. Not sure what exactly we will be feelings because they still aren't sure what part of florida is getting hit directly.
I'm a bit nervous, but not too bad. I went through the very center of hurricane andrew in 1992 (i lived south of the zoo so if you lived in kendall or anywhere north of that i don't really think you can fully understand). If we made it through that we can deal with frances. She's bigger across but less intense. They say andrew had winds over 215 mph and tons of tornadoes, and i heard a day ago that they say it could have even been a 6 instead of a 5 like they thought. I'm glad thats not the case this time.
Today has been mostly boring. I put everything valuable in my closet and or wrapped in plastic so it won't get wet if the windows do break, put tape on the windows (i heard it does no good but a friend was nice enough to bring it so i used it). took all the stuff in from the balcony, picked up anything from the floor that could get wet, got my provisions and other supplies ready to go to my mom's tomorrow. Finally stopped watching the news after that trying not to let myself get stressed.
THEN was surprised by my super sweet boyfriend Mister Cory Davis. He stopped by before going to the airport even though we didn't think he'd have enough time after finishing preparing his apartment. Lucky, he gets to go visit his family and miss this whole thing. that is really good cuz he had t evacuate. I hope he has a home to come back to, possibly staying with me if not.
Then i gave a friend a ride somewhere and after that its been mostly boring. Nothing is open besides bars and home depot and i don't want to go to either of those. Of course my 2 best friends work at a bar and homedepot. So i'm just chilling here with my cats in my semi-empty looking apartment until tomorrow when i go over to my parents house to wait it out.
Good luck to everybody in florida, i'm confident we'll all be ok as long as we are smart. I love you guys and if i don't talk to you tomorrow i'll talk to you as soon as i can
