It’s that time again.
As I write this, Hurricane Irma is churning towards Florida, prompting the usual frenzy of preparations that’s been repeated many times before. The last time we went through this was last year for Hurricane Matthew, and now it’s time to do this all over again. Sure, it may be calm now but things are going to get nasty in just a few days.
First, I need to stock up on emergency supplies. As expected, the water aisle is completely empty.
That means I have to wait in line for the water like everyone else. Can’t you just feel that frustration building?
Oh yeah, I gotta fill up with gas too. Problem is, there’s a long line there too.
No worries, though. I’ll just get up extra early and go fill up at 4 a.m. where there’s no waiting.
After the shopping’s done, it’s time to start putting up those storm shutters.
All this for a storm that doesn’t care how prepared you are. Once it passes, who knows what horrors and extra work await.
