- An "it's just a category 2 hurricane" packs a substantial whollup! Thank God it wasn't any more powerful.
- If you evacuate, leave your answering machine turned on. If you're out of town and are wondering if the power is back on at home, you can call your answering machine. If you get your recording, the power is on!
- Unplug everything you can when you evacuate (except your answering machine). Power fluctuations can really play havic on your electrical appliances.
- It's amazing how a hurricane, or other disasters bring neighbors together.
- Take as many vehicles as you can when you evacuate.
- Oak trees don't bend...any! They will break however.
- Even though pine trees bend, they will also break.
- Fill your jerry cans up as soon as you know there's a fair chance the storm is heading for you.
- Cats hate to travel in the van...we just had to get one!
- Shortages at the grocery store turn otherwise decent people into monsters. I'm ashamed of some of you...you know who you are!
- I'm amazed at how many "entitlement socialists" there are among us. They have their hand out even when they don't have a need...especially when there are others around them that are in desperate need. I'm ashamed of them too! Texans (native or not) are much better than that...and if you don't like it, you can go back where you came from!
- Fire wood is really cheap right now!!!!
