Aww snap .. this is your first real east coast storm.
We freak out.
The stores are already barren and run through.
Go now man, hit up several stores, sometimes a home depot might be the place to get water/gatoraide. or a Dicks sporting goods. the non traditional stores.
id fill a few buckets of water now so you can flush the toilet if water goes out.
----
but then again .. its a tropical storm now so you should be good.
but .. general rule .. we freak out and over react to any storms around here
Luckily, my roommate just happened to order a case of alkaline water, nothing to do with the storm, so we have water for drinking for at least a few days if it gets that bad.
Surprisingly, I do already own a big bucket too.

Tropical storm heading out into the Atlantic to pick up a little steam before returning to S.C. as a category 1 hurricane.

The grocery store was something else. Took longer to checkout than it did to shop. I remembered COVID, and didn't go insane, just got 1 case of water so other people can have some too. That store is going to be bone dry by like 5 p.m. Used the tropical storm/hurricane as an excuse to buy beef jerky lol. That stuff is so expensive.

It landed a bit north of us. Still got pretty bad winds/rain all morning till around 2:00 or 3:00 p.m.
Our power went out at like 1:30, so I took a nap, woke up at 3:00 p.m., and the power was back on and the storm had passed.
It's still a little windy, but the brunt of it is all north now.
Pretty crazy that it was only a Cat 1/Tropical Storm. Couldn't imagine what Florida went thru.

Great episode.
Oh boy, sounds like getting home safely will be way more important than actually enjoying the event. Stay safe!

I just turned the heater on. I don't think I've turned a heater on in 20 years. Shit is getting real. Having seasons is craziness lol.
