It has to be horrible. If I get nervous when we have some normal summer storm here and I hear the wind hitting in the windows , I can't imagine how a hurricane can be
Hope everything will be ok.
Imagine.....if you will.........a constant strong wind on your windows and doors and whipping around your house, the sound of hard rain, and things rattling and bumping outside, while you are lying in your house, electricity went out hours before, trying to sleep. THAT is what I went through last year with Ophelia. Where I was staying at the time was essentially a long island,only ways off are bridges, and when I called the local police, they informed me that the causeway to the bridge was completely flooded and there was NO way off the island.
That is why I say I need therapy
I totally sympathize with all the other "hurricane" states, dealing with all this. It can make you go insane!!!!
Even if they don't call an evacuation, if you can't stand the scary sounds etc. you are better off getting out of town; just make sure where you are going is not going to be worse off if the storm goes further inland than predicted. That happened to lots of people with Floyd a few years ago.
