I really wonder how many have had this same thought.

[Mother]

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about that when I saw where you said people were headed this way from all the way out there.

I've been here for hurricanes worse than what this one was predicted to be before it died down, and I can't remember anything like that for those.

I think our office of emergency preparedness gets their updates from Fox

All our info kept saying it was epic, then I see the news and find it's only a cat1

Everyones staying home now

If you people would stop buying milk and bread and let a horrible event take place maybe a guy could earn a living

Inconsiderate

There were at least 100 people at the store all buying water, milk, bread, and canned tuna.  Are they really going to sit at home drinking milk while eating a tuna fish sandwich?

On a tangent, I've always wondered why people buy milk before a storm.  If they lose power, how long do they think that shit's gonna last?

[thought]

imo, disasters should happen on the weekdays so you have a great reason to get off of work.

weekend disasters are highly annoying.  haha

Add the proper bacteria and they have yogurt

Stick a few bags of ice in your freezer.  Keeps your icebox and fridge cold an extra 5-10 hours depending on your freezer.  Also, filling up your fridge as tight as possible holds cold.  Best thing to put in your fridge is a case of bottled water. 

We had the power go out for 12 hours.  The fridge stayed cold.  We keep those blue ice things in the freezer and just moved them up to the fridge. Of course, now we have a generator.  Just yank and go.

My parents in Connecticut were laughing at all the media hype...

My dad went to Costco to get pick up a prescription (not to shop for tuna and milk) and said people were just pushing others out of the way to get their shit and get out. 

He filled up a bunch of gallon sized Ziploc bags and chucked them in the freezer.  My Mom stayed home and made a big pot of gravy and meatballs.  They are ready for a few days of not leaving the house.

[KnightofNi]

[ducatiz]

Power is out here in noVa.

Generator is running.

The trees are leeeeaning but I think the worst is passed.  Wind seems to be dying down.

Milk and eggs are fine.

Power is on here in Moco.  Freaky.

I'm celebrating the storm of the century by going to see the Aryton Senna movie with some friends this afternoon.

I think the national hurricane center and the Weather Channel use the same meteorologists we have here in Dallas/Ft.Worth. Every time there is a "major" storm brewing (and it doesn't matter if it's a winter or summer storm!) they act like it's the end of the world and stop all normal TV programming for hours on end to show you radar loops and tell everyone to take cover. You'd think a tornado like the one that hit poor Joplin, MO happened here about 10-15 times a year! You keep yelling wolf over and over again at some point folks are just going to stop listening. And the one time when they really do need to take cover, get milk and tuna sandwiches, etc. they won't even bother turning the TV on because they know the TV weather depts. will just preempt all their favorite shows!

Just yank and go.

That's what she said?
