Alright two part post:
First off I have come up with a new Hurricane Classification System. (The JC System)
- Category One: (JC 1) Jim Cantore shows up in your town
- Category Two: (JC 2) JC shows up in your town wearing his rain coat
- Category Three:(JC3 ) JC shows up in your town wearing his raincoat leaning into the wind
- Category Four: (JC4) JC shows up in your town wearing his raincoat leaning into the wind trying desperately to speak into the mic sporting his Speedo swim goggles
- Category Five: (JC5) JC is nowhere to be found....
Second Part....Panic in the streets fueled by the Media...
Left work today to find Two Notch Road completely packed with traffic. Thought it was a big wreck, not too uncommon. But soon found the gas stations packed with vehicles lined up waiting for fuel. One BP Station had approximately 30 cars waiting on fuel, the next had about 18...Word on the street is that fuel lines are shut down, prices will increase one dollar overnight, and rationing will come into effect. The photo is from a station in Sumter SC about 30 miles from us.
We resisted the hysteria of loading up our vehicles and heading to the stations to top off our tanks with the majority of Columbia. However, I did make a stop off on the way home at our local grocery for two gallons of milk, a six pack of pale ale, and a bottle of Merlot. I figured that would, get us through the next couple of days. And hell worst case scenario I can work from my home office or even ride my BIKE to work. What a concept. Those in the Gulf, take care and buckle down Ike is a big mother scratcher.
Thanks for reading, Y'all tune in again soon.
