Hurricane music

[kickaha]

Every hurricane, there are folks who decide to ride it out. A category 1, in a region with decent drainage, I can see staying. Maybe even a cat1 on a sturdy beach area with a sufficiently strong building.

But a category **5**?? Run for the fricking hills, folks.

Of course though, with every group that stays, there's gotta be a hurricane party. Get drunk, get trashed, so you won't feel the pain when the roof collapses around you and the tree trunk flies through the wall to take your head off. I suspect the music played at these parties tends to a lot of Jimmy Buffet and such.

This time, however, I have a better suggestion.


A little Katrina and the Waves, anyone?

I imagine it's pretty hard to take a look around your home that will very likely be torn to bits and most of your possessions with it, then walk out and drive away. I'd probably snatch up the irreplaceables, take a little while to cry and grieve, then sit my ass in my Chevy and put the pedal to the metal. It's gonna be like Armageddon down there and you bet I'd find a way to deal with leaving.

I don't doubt it would be hard as hell to leave your home... but as you said, grab the cat, the photo albums, maybe a childhood teddy bear... etc... stuff that you CAN'T replace, and leave. Because, well... your house can be rebuilt, the furniture can be replaced... your life can't.
