- Pre-hurricane weather is H-U-M-I-D. Makes other days I've complained about here seem Colorado, desert-dry.
- It's eerily quiet everywhere
- 7:30 pm: My friend called to tell me she was told to evacuate her apartment that is 5 blocks from mine
- We both decided not to evacuate and here's why: I don't see why a school that is down the street from me will be any safer than my apartment. The school is not any safer from floods than my house is. I'm scared of the Katrina stories from New Orleans and I hesitate to be stuck in a large, closed building with a bunch of strangers.
- 8:00 pm: The news just told me I'm under a tornado watch, but I'm from Colorado and not scared of tornadoes
- 8:04 pm: The news just showed me that Bridgeport is in the path of the eye of the storm. I am scared of that, for sure.
- 8:08pm It's officially getting windy and raining more because I can hear it. OMG!!!
- The news also told me it's not IF the power goes off, it's WHEN. Oy-vey.
Side note: I never thought I would say anything like this because I really never thought I would live so close to New York. But, I can only get New York news stations with my new cable TV. Which, on a normal day makes me feel kind of cool, but today, when I need to know about what is happening in CONNECTICUT, so I can know if I need to EVACUATE or am going to FLOOD, I have no TV access to local TV channels. ANNOYING.
