Scrappy I'm sorry this didn't work out. I hope the next assignment is better.
Michael is now supposed to hit and a Category 4 . I don't think anything that strong has hit around here.
We won't get a direct hit but the storm surge is supposed to be devastating for the coast. It is making landfall about 100 miles from where our beach cottage is but the storm surge for our beach area is predicted to be 9 to 12 feet.
Tallahassee is well inland but it will still be lots of trees down. And it is going up through the Carolinas. I probably should have just gone home Tuesday but this has moved and changed so fast.
I'm trying not to freak out. I'm worried we are under prepared for the storm and I may see of the grocery store is open this morning and pick up some more canned food.
Good luck, askye! Stay safe.
~ma and good vibes to Scrappy, meara, and askye.
I skimmed and stop by just to let you fine people know that thanks to you I had my first grilled cheese sandwich yesterday. I search for a place to eat on my way to other activities, saw the sign, thought "oh, Buffistas said it's good", and yes, it was. Good job!
Mmmm...grilled cheese.
Oh, Shir! I have a Hebrew question for you! The other day, my Israeli friend was asking about the word for pinwheel, and I think she said something like "shevchevitz"? Can you confirm or deny? Google translate isn't transliterating for me, and gave me גלגל ×©×™× ×™.
Sure! She probably said "Shavshevet", and this is how it's pronounced: [link]
Shavshevet in Hebrew has other meanings in addition that include things such as weather vanes.
גלגל ×©×™× ×™×™×, alas, is a cogwheel, and explains why we still need human translators.
I'm sorry, Scrappy, but yes you made the right decision. Too many obstacles to success there. I hope you find a better fit soon.
YIKES, Hurricane Michael looks just awful. I really hope people have evacuated. Are you in Tallahassee now askye? Mostly it looks like there will be a power issue there from downed trees. Sending ~ma for you and yours to be safe and calm.
How's it going, meara? I hope a plan is coming together for the recovery.
Good hurricane vibes, askye.
I was in Tallahassee but we decided to head back to NC. Michael will make landfall this afternoon but Dad suggested it and we decided to go. Matthew and I will stop if we have to. So far no traffic so we are making good time.
I hope this was a good choice
Have a safe trip, askye. Which part of NC are you heading to? The eastern part of the state is under a tropical storm watch and could get a lot of rain on top of what's left from Florence.
