Default Hurricane Food!

Holy Atkins, we're expecting a probable 3rd hurricane in a month! This
sunshine state is starting to make me fat again. We have been stuck inside,
fortunately we just lost power a few short times, have a small lake on one
side of our home and a buncha branches! The supermarket was closed early
Saturday and all day Sunday, some still closed on Monday but we are all here
and in good shape, sorta. Not much exercise, the pool is a mess and nothing
much to do but snack on stuff. Fortunately my better half bough a couple
cans macadamia nuts, meringue cookies (sf), plenty of eggs, ham & cheese.
Tonight we celebrated as the rains diminished by throwing a few ribeye
steaks on the grill. If I gained any it will be from not moving around
enough. Tomorrow we will work it off by cleaning up debris and branches and
helping others that weren't that fortunate but for now please pray for
Florida that Ivan peters out before it gets to us. We don't need no more
stinkin' hurricanes! Thanks for letting me vent, just glad to have electric
for now

There is a good drink called a "hurricane". Drink massive quantities of
that, and all will be well.

On the serious side, I do know what you are going through. We in the Gulf
Coast region of Texas have had a few, and though they were not like what you
have had, they were enough to let us know what those storms are all about.

You know that the storm will probably not kill you. You know that the lack
of supplies after the storm will probably hurt, as well as the mess that the
storm creates.

Living through a hurricane is best done with large quantities of alcoholic
beverages. No need to apologise to anyone.

They weren't? Maybe I was living somewhere else than Houston as a kid
during Carla and Camille. I know I was home from college north of
Manvel when tropical storm Claudette dumped the US record for rainfall
on top of my house - 43 inches in 24 hours.

The 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston is still the largest loss of life
from natural disaster in American history (http://www.1900storm.com/).
Next time you stand on that seawall remember you're standing on the
unmarked graves of hundreds of people.

At least they are mild hurricanes. The last one was almost a tropical
storm. I lived in FL for 7 years and encountered some real ones. One good
thing is, it will bring the water levels up a bit. Florida always needs
water it seems. 50+ years ago the water tables were much higher. I
remember when going to school there, the old docks on the lakes were not
even in the water anymore, due to the water tables being so low. Kick back
and enjoy the storm. I always did love them. They were a break from the
hot humid sun day in and day out. I loved going out on the lani and
drinking a cup of coffee and watching the wind and rain and some hail.

I am on the SW coast of FL. Our city was mangled by Charley, and
saturated by Frances, and waiting to see with Ivan....sigh and I
gained 6 lbs.

Be well!
