I'm officially on wait and see.

Hurricane update! Because let's be honest, that's all anyone around here is going to be talking about for the next six days anyway. When I went to sleep last night after the 11pm update, they still had it pretty uncertain beyond somewhere overnight Friday into Saturday being when we'd get our brush with Matthew, though they did caution that Friday during the afternoon would likely bring power outages due to the wind and rain.

I woke up this morning to no updates from the locals and a new model that shows the storm spending an extra day with Florida/Georgia and not getting here til Sunday.

I also woke up to the news that due to the evacuation and everyone losing their minds extra early, the gas stations are out of gas (even the ones who decided to go ahead and price gouge), there's no water, and basically pandemonium reigns supreme.

On the plus side, it's nice and breezy and chilly this morning. I made it to the recycle bins with extra stuff right before they came and took stuff away, so victory dance there. I'm off to take my shower and then do some laundry before I poke the laptop and see how many billions of updates it wants me to do.


Not hurricane related: what do we know about the Gaga MH doll other than what she looks like? Price? Availability? What? My attention span is currently shot so...

OMG that's terrifying!! I really hope it misses you or just gives you a graze. :( *BIG protective hugs!!* I'll take the tornados anytime since at least that's so fast, you don't even have time to worry. But that waiting it out...ugh. I feel so bad for you guys. That is nuts that technology has somehow devolved? What the hell. Putting on my tinfoil hat since it seems to indicate more of those weather-manipulation machines. I hope you guys stay safe and nothing gets damaged.

*hugs back* Tornadoes freak me out, man, though I guess since hurricanes can contain/spawn them. It makes me crazy/makes me laugh that TV shows will have people be surprised by hurricanes but plan all day for one single, solitary tornado. [/random]

Your magic appears to be working as the storm is currently set to hit us at a lower category. Huzzah!

Yeah, I don't know what's going on with the technology. I don't know if they now have too many options to choose from and they just are so afraid of getting it wrong or what, but Cass and I were talking about how much more uncertain storms are now. If it didn't happen to be a lot of the same dudes who were around for Hugo, I'd just assume that the newbies (even if they're not that new) just didn't know what they were doing but that's not it.

I hope you're doing okay. It's been eons!
