DUDE!!! HURRICAINE IKE BLEW AWAY ALL YOUR COLORS!!!
hopefully a bit of levity to brighten the mood.
Good luck and be safe. Us Northerners don't get hurricaines often. I remember the one we did was quite an ordeal.
Here, just a bit of a side track, I'll tell a story about my hurricaine experience.
I was working at this hardware store at the time. Big place that used to be a grocery store so it had those huge windows up front, floor to ceiling. A bunch of us were there and we were stupidly open because hardware stores make a KILLING just before a hurricaine.
Anyway, we were also very stupidly standing relatively close to the windows watching the fun. Winds picking up, funky colored skies, etc.
All of a sudden we got one big gust and the gigantic windows visibly rippled and made this gut-wrenching SNAP sound as they whipped back into shape.
I swear you never saw 8 people move so fast in your entire life. There was a puff of dust as 250 lb peter jumped backwards over the pallet of bags of concrete. 6' 5" mike ran and dove over the kitchen cabinet display, taking down a ceramic sink pedastal as he flew. The owner of the store covered the entire distance from the fron to the back of the store in what must have been about 1.43 seconds. I personally did this one-jump leap and skid thing and moved about 10' in 1/2 second, and grabbed the side of the counter so I slid behind it. etc.
It was quite hysterical.
We were such morons.
