For the love of all that is holy...

Ok... so we are now officially at the "For the love of all that is holy, look at the size of that thing" stage.


They do seem to have a point:

So we will not be evacuated or anything like that but they have mentioned that the Woodlands will get some heavy weather if it continues on its current track... that means possibly 90mph+ winds and up to a foot of rain.

Of course, it's still quite some way off and it could turn away between now and tomorrow:

I am working from home today - they are announcing evacuations for the coastal areas already so I am just going to avoid getting caught in all of that.

They say we should have a hurricane kit available with all sorts of foods and supplies. We have pared this down to the absolute minimum - alcohol and peanuts.

Think about it - it's all you really need. Peanuts are packed full of protein, they don't produce smelly garbage AND they're salty which forces you to keep up your fluid intake, thus staying hydrated... and alcohol kills bugs and helps you get to the "don't give a crap" stage by the time the winds get up to danger levels :-) And we'll have a margarita every now and then - that fresh lime will ward of the skurvy...
