Cable is going on and off, so don't know how much longer I'll be able to post.
I was watching tv, and some people have not a clue. There are people here who never witnessed the severity of storms that can hit the coast. They leave their lawn chairs out, think nothing of piling their leaves at the curb (which then clog the sewer lines), wander down to the boardwalk while the ocean is grabbing at the pilings underneath, and --here's the kicker--one guy said that after this first surge, things will get better. Huh?! The eye of the storm is still about two hundred miles away and coming on shore.
The cops blocked the beach road entrances so kite surfers wouldn't go out, b/c you know they would! Then, the rescue boats would have to haul their asses out and endanger everyone, just b/c.
There's already street flooding from the surge(s); I'm getting that from online. The berms they put in place didn't hold. At least they tried.
It's astounding to me that people don't realize that this isn't the 1st of the surges, it's the 2nd and there's 2 more to come w/ no time in between for the waters to recede. Where oh where do these non-thinking people come from.
My lights haven't begun to flicker as of yet. I'm waiting for that to begin, but at least I'm ready. I did download an android radio; pretty cool that I figured that out all by my little 'ole self
At least I can keep up w/ the basic news/weather which is mostly what I want when I'm not running the generator.
If or when you lot do lose power, just know that AW is going to be holding its thumbs for you, and waiting to hear that you're safely back here, with everything settled and calm.
Thanks, that means a lot. We are a caring group when the chips are down
