You can ask me the thing
... and I'm still waiting for my wonderful 20s as portrayed in Hollywood films. Welcome to my willy-nilly personal blog.

If you need to evacuate hurricane Florence or you are staying put
Pick a town now and let hotels know you are evacuating from Florence. This works for every problematic hurricane. It usually doesn’t matter how many indoor pets you have, it just depends on the hotel. Most hotel brands will accept more than 2 dogs and cats for hurricane evacuees.
If you have horses and cows and you are on the outskirts, remember the last cat 3 that hit florida to the carolinas? A mass death of farm animals died from flooding and wind. Help them get to higher ground and better land by asking farms in out of evacuation zones to let you use their land to keep your animals.
Hurricane Florence is a CAT 4 by the time it reaches not land, but the warm waters off our coast. It will only gain more energy the longer it stays on the water. There is always a possibility for a CAT 4 to experience CAT 5 symptoms like wind, rain, and surging without becoming a CAT 5. If you are staying put, stay put in your house where the walls are strongest. Make sure you are near the safest bathroom in case of inner storm tornado activity or structure failure. Keep all leashes on you and pets near you. If you have pets that will hide, block off their access to their hiding places. Keep their stuff just as accessible as you will your stuff.
BUY WATER NOW. BUY HURRICANE FOOD NOW. BUY BATTERIES. GET A FLASHLIGHT. DO ALL OF THIS NOW. If you are in a possible flood zone and have a small enough raft that will fit out windows, KEEP IT ON THE HIGHEST FLOOR OF YOUR HOUSE. If you are in an apartment complex in a flood zone, you need to leave. No acceptions.
Park your cars somewhere with cameras like a bank parking lot. They’ll be safer if you have trees near your home. If you have a boat in your driveway, MOVE IT AWAY.
If you have the ability, slice trees near your place that have you worried.
KEEP ALL DOORS SHUT TO BEDROOMS. If a window breaks, the pressure won’t change the rest of the house this way.
Take your pets outside on a leash when you feel it is safe enough for all of you. The eye of the storm is good for this but that can be a days worth of rain and wind. The wind isn’t always constant. Keep an eye on it and get them down there on leashes as soon as you hear it stop. You will hear the wind coming back before you see it or feel it. Be close to a door when you do this.
If you have access to a radio, use it. Put it on a station for weather. It’ll warn you of possible tornadoes in the area. A safe key though is anyone in yellow-red-purple on the radar, is in tornado alley. Keep a close eye on the sky. Don’t go to sleep.
I’m serious about shopping now. The stores will run out of food today or yesterday. Get enough water for everyone. Get bandaids too.
Get a full tank of gas too. It will run out quickly and take the gas stations days to come back. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get an extra gallon of gas if you are leaving the area as you will find this on your way out too.
Good luck and stay away from the sea and the miles of where storm surge could occur. If you are on the coast but inland on a marsh, the surge and flooding will affect you. And they will affect you even more during high tide. The marsh can absorb a ton, but it can’t absorb this much.
Fill your bathtubs for extra water and to flush toilets. Freeze water to keep food cool. Document EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE to claim for insurance if necessary. Take all important documents and keep them with you in water proof bags.
this one is most likely going to be more severe than matthew, it’s hitting us as a category 4 so there’s bound to be more damage, get prepared everyone
