First and Foremost, Thank you all for your best wishes... It's actually an eerie feeling out there... City streets of miami, are quiet down town... Gov't offices are due to sut down @ 2pm EST. I was @ the hardware store today and the results are that of some male talent, NO WOOD! Now, for those of you that don't know Miami, the general population sucks, rude and cold people down here, but today @ the grocery store people had a generous and kind demeanor.. Probably b/c they think they are going to die, and need to get in good with the BIG GUY upstairs (not lensman, although we love him, ha ha)... The highways are packed, but we're sticking it out here, go my supplies, shutting down the systems tomorrow, and stuffing them in storage... My bldg was built in 1925 and has sustained pummeling in the past, so I'm not really concerned.. The Media is REALLY hyping it up, using terms like STRIKE POINT, as opposed to land fall. I think it's a big ploy to boost commerce here in this toilet. (You can tell I love it here) The real worry is after the storm, downed powerlines, and idiots going outside, stepping in puddles, and ZAP! Also, looting becomes a concern... There was two arrests on my block last night of people stalking around, probably scoping out who's leaving... I think Miami is not going to get the Brunt of it, but I feel bad for those more north of me... Again, THANK YOU fellow GFYers for your supporting comments... Take care all...
