who is it?

So I have moved into my Miami home as of yesterday. Just in time to experience what most newscasters are calling the greatest hurricane to hit Miami since Andrew in '92. My new roomies and I were sitting on the couch watching the orange swirl of impending doom come closer and closer to our new found home in absolute stupor. Most of us are from the Midwest...what do you do in a hurricane??? I have no idea. So we just decided to make it funny. Someone knocked on the door and a girl yells, "Don't answer it...it's the hurricane." Hurricane Frances is now a running gag in the house. I have a feeling (you know if the house survives) that we will make this a joke for the rest of the year. Who didn't do the dishes? Frances. Who left their dirty towels on the floor? Frances. Who will most likely wipe out the eastern coast of Florida? Frances. Who knows....this thing hasn't hit yet. I'll fill you in later.

  • I'm a veteran of hurricanes...well, sort of. I was on staff at a camp with 600 kids in Florida when a hurricane came.

    Not much to do... Stay on the first floor, if possible. If things begin to look REALLY dire, place mattresses in front of the windows (although in Florida, most windows are built to a certain standard). Don't go outside just because "it looks clear," like our kids wanted to do.

    If you're near the water, don't go in for a while..even after all of this subsides. The riptides will linger for a long time.

    The American Red Cross is your friend if you need help.

    Thinking about you...
