Take everything I say with the appropriate size grains of salt! I want everyone in the NorthEast corridor of this country to lay in the proper supplies and be prepared for a major storm! I want everyone to conduct themselves in a safe manor! However, this is not Katrina! This is some wind and water! It is a huge storm! But it is just a big storm! This storm currently has winds of 100 mph! Katrina was 160 mph! Do not panic! If you are worried move inland now! Be smart, and be safe! The most dangerous area is the Outter Banks of NC. If the eye comes up on the west side of the Island, they will be slammed from both side by the water! Elsewhere, I wonder if all the things that are being shut down for the storm may be more damaging than the storm itself!
It is my humble opinion that the media is welcoming any event that they can find to distract from the President golfing while the economy crashes! If I hear one more journalist call this "the perfect storm" I think I will puke! Sure, there will be flooding and power outages! But the hype is out of proportion!
Also, while you are watching this storm, you might want to glance way out in the Atlantic where a little thunderstorm came off the coast of Africa near the Cape Verde Islands about 4 days ago! This system is currently called L10! Lets hope that it gets some steering currents that turns it Northeast. This one could be the BIG one!
Safety first my Friends! Stay away from down powerlines! Be sure to have gas or charcoal for cooking!! And fiil your bathtub! You may need the water to make you toilet flush! Be in touch when you can! Give someone here your phone number! God Bless You!
BTW! If you have any cigarettes......... leave them outside!
