This one is going to be a gnarly one. It’s not expected to make landfall, but ride the coast all the way up. This means it probably won’t reduce in strength like most storms do. Mother Nature is a terrifying force and sometimes we cannot stand against her.
If you are in Evacuation Zones please heed warnings and the advice of Emergency Responders. If demanded to evacuate, please comply. Things can be replaced, you can’t.
The National Guard has been mobilized, but not evacuating when you should puts their lives at risk as well as yours.
To those outside the danger zones, but still in the path- Hunker down. Make sure you have:
Dry Food
Candles
Flashlights
Batteries
window/door seals
pull in all outside decor/furniture not cemented down (they’ll become projectiles).
Your Bathtub filled with water in case they shut off the city water
FIrst Aid supplies, benedryl, epipen, bandages, antiseptic, etc
Duct Tape (You never know what this stuff is good for)
emergency radio
An emergency plan should you get separated from family (keep in mind cell towers may be out)
Wow
I learned the most about myself actually. While I took time over the months of the developing friendship to learn more about the eclectic interests and talents of my crush, what I really realized was that I am worth it. I started out feeling understandably very inferior to him. But as our interactions progressed I saw that he was just a man doing a job that he loved - just like me. Okay, yes he was know worldwide and made more money than me. But in the end we are both people... That made me smile. I found myself striving daily to work better and smarter. I found myself working out and taking pride in myself. Mind you I never spoke to my crush or met him in person. The knowledge of his connection with me was enough to start making the changes I had really needed to for some time. It is incredible. I may never speak to this man. I may never see him in person. Hell, he may not even be who he says he is. All the same I have used this time to acknowledge to myself that I'm worthy. I will not settle. Don't have to. Can't wait for what is to come!
Thank you
