I hope no more hurricanes blow through b/w now and next weekend when I have to fly home. I'm nervous enough about flying as it is, let alone flying in the middle of a hurricane.
I saw today that they are evacuating my county for the first time in, well, I think a very long time....guess I should call my parents and check on them!
The bad hurricane that hit us (Pinellas county) was back in '85...Hurricane Elena. That's the only one that I ever got out of school for anyways. Of course, technically, Elena never hit us - she sat just off our coast for 3 days and blew wind and rain at us. The only reason I missed school was b/c my school was the evacuation center for all the beach residents. Can't go to school when people are living in your lunch room.
In school we would always skip school to go TO the beach during a hurricane. We were nuts. That's what surfing will do to ya' though.
