Inclement weather: what do you do?
So, we're getting a hurricane here.
Welcome to Florida, surprise!!!
I think the biggest surprise was the expectation up until the 5pm report that we'd get some rain and gusty winds around 35 mph.
Imagine my look of amazement when the latest reports estimate 75 mph sustained winds and the eye hitting 24 miles south of my condo... as the crow flies.
We live 3 miles from the beach and 1.5 miles from the Intracoastal Waterway.
Right in the path of the emergency evacuations... though we don't have to leave until category 3.
In 2004, we got hit by all 5 hurricane effects including 5 days without power, two that I couldn't leave the house because of water to the thigh.
We were bored. Period.
There's only so much you can do with no air conditioning in the summer and no power.
So I'm turning to the wisest of the TFP... tell me, what do you do when you can't go out and it's 95 degrees inside. And dark.
**Other than the obvious, of course. Carnal activities are a given and alcohol WILL be involved.
