.::.::. Friggian Hurricanes! .::.::.

Of course right when I get home a massive hurricane that is as powerful as Andrew and twice the size of my state! I just finished getting food supplies and shoring up my house. Not one bit of sun light can be seen within my house anymore we have our storm shutters up on all windows, glass doors, and other points of entry. My neiborhood looks like its ready to be bombed or something, everyone has taken everything that is not bolted down inside so they do not become missles, and they have also put up there shutters. Everyone is freaking out because we haven't had a storm this bad since Andrew on my 13th birthday which caused $25 billion in damages and many many deaths. A rig full of ply wood was just hijacked on the highway becuase stores are running out and they are only aloting 5 sheets per house if they have any at all. Poor saps who didn't want to put out money for storm shutters are paying for it now. They started evacuating a few million people from our barriar islands a few hours ago. Everyone is taking this thing so seriously. I just got back from Publix, where ATMs were out of cash, water is continually being shipped in, and the canned tuna was all sold out along with most of the batteries and other non-parishables. The grocery stories have directed all their drivers to take mostly bottled water down from the north. Home Depot is shipping ply wood from Georgia and other states down here cauz were just about all out. Most gas stations are running out of gas, for fear of the power being out for more than a week. Hopefully the power won't go out for too long. The storm is estimated to last for one to three days overhead depending on how much it slows when it hits. One cool thing is that my dad got a hernia a few weeks ago so he is recovering from sergery so this will be the first hurricane he has been home for, usually he has to be on call as a paramedic. This house went through Andrew though so it should be fine, everything is in the Lords hands, because He is the one after all who created and controls nature.
