Waiting on a Storm

 Florida is waiting on one of the scarier hurricanes I have been able to be present for.  Waiting can be really boring.  The news shows coverage 24 hours a day about the hurricane.  While waiting on damage to show, they bombard us with interviews from the police and politicians.  If you did care to see that kind of coverage, we have political commercials.  I'd rather be streaming to get away from the commercials.  Once the damage starts to come in, we will go to man/woman in the field stories.  Basically, they are in a raincoat being buffeted by the wind and rain.  Sometimes, if you are lucky, you see them dodge dangerous debris.  If you think you can get away and go out, you are wrong.  It usually rains in sheets.  I've had to walk a dog in a hurricane.  Not fun.  Our dog did not like being outside.  We did do the best to get the chickens put up in a safe place.  Easier said than done.  They will not stay put and let you pick them up.  Half are up and the other will have to find a safe place.  On top of all this, the hurricane is not supposed to make landfall until late in the night.  If we get a Tornado, we will not be able to see it.  We'll be crossing our fingers that we make it through the night and that our power is still on.  We've already had an internet outage.  They got it back up.
