tsubasahome...and I'm beginning to think this is it for us.
I've never been so terrified in my life. I can't eat. I can barely sleep. I can't even choke down a few sips of tea. They're saying this is going to be worse than Gloria, the worst hurricane we've seen in decades and decades. I've got bottled water, some food, lanterns, but it's not enough. How the hell am I going to protect this house? I'm trying to move all the stuff that I can get into the garage but what about the roof? What about the windows? I can't board up--it's not like this is my house. There's no place I can go to escape from this and even if I could, my house would probably be looted because that's just the way people are.
My parents are not taking this seriously. My aunt has plans to go to Boston this weekend!
I've never been through a hurricane worse than Gloria. I don't know what to expect. Am I even going to have a place to live?
I live about 25 miles from the coast and 300 feet above sea level. Obviously, I'm not going to be getting storm surge, but what about the wind? Is my house going to be able to take it? And I can't find any information or consolation because everybody on the internet with any information WANTS it to happen!
