Crystal- It is just people- in the north, they all run to the grocery store to stock up on canned goods in case the light dusting turns into three feet of snow, in the south, it's plywood- I'm with you, we'd have it stored and cut in the garage and (if possible) use the same stuff year to year until it was too damaged... but people will always be people, bury their heads in the sand or panic 
We have the same thing in the south. When there is a forecast of snow (which means it may melt quickly and then refreeze into ice, which is very different than dealing with loads of snow, but a very real problem) there are hoards of people who run to the store for canned goods, propane tanks, batteries, milk, and bread. It's nuts. It happens several times during the winter... why not stock up at the beginning of the winter and just skip the milk and bread?

I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

Lexie- I LOVE to watch the shocked/horrified looks of people when you come into a store- HOW DID YOU GET HERE?? Ummmm....a car....
LOL...we walk! I like to ask...how did you get here?
(((Nicole))) I know it's hard, praying for you both.
Sarah - I have far less patience with other people's children than with Akeelah. Before I had Akeelah I could babysit any child!
Nicole again - I don't mind the xbox so much because I have the Wii. And normally Dh is pretty good about playing it only when I'm asleep or reading, but now that he's home he's playing it at the times I'm usually watching tv when he's not here...and that's not something that should played with.

Nicole, I have family in Victoria and they always stay too. I probably would if I lived there. It's not directly on the coast or anything. They'll be okay. They might lose electricity, but if they board up and stock up on supplies, they'll be ok.

They said they are going to board up their house and get supplies and stay. Okay, they are both Canadian and have NEVER lived through a hurricane. I think they should leave.
My husband can not for the life of him understand why people stay during hurricanes when they have an opportunity to leave. He remembers one particularly bad one from his childhood (he can't remember which one) and he doesn't ever want to live through one of those again.

I just can't help it. My biggest fear in the whole world is to lose my Lorne even by natural means... 
) then they will get some very bad weather there since they could be on the "bad side" of it. Hopefully they're watching the news and making preparations like stocking up on clean water and canned goods just in case. Tornadoes are very likely in that area.
