I'm already starting to try and figure out about preparing food bags and such in case I can't get inside a building or something because most of our buildings on campus require you to have a key card to get inside.
Yeah the model changed again today. It's a better chance for a direct hit here and stretching through South Carolina. They're saying it's not gonna be so much as the rain, but the wind and possible tornados with the storm. Bad part here is....I gotta work on Monday when it's supposed to hit here. The model prediction right now says "Monday morning, tropical storm conditions. Throughout the day, tropical storm or hurricane conditions with winds 40-60 mph. At night tropical storm conditions, winds 30-50 then decreasing to 25-40." So it's gonna be a rough ride. It may not even be safe to be out so. Unless they're using the store as a shelter I dunno if it'll even be open. I doubt anyone will be like "hey I need a basketball or soccer ball. Heck, why not go get some bait. I wanna fish! Uhhh, it 60mph winds? Heck yeah!" No...just.........no

That's like what I told my mom when she was worried about cutting the grass. I told her "no one will be cutting the grass in that storm. I can see it now. Someone dressed in the old style pilot gear. Scarf and googles ad all on their riding lawnmower like, "I'M REEEEEAAALLY FEELING IT!""
