Just watching the news after enjoying me wonderful dinner for people on "blockage" alert: pureed hamburger meat cooked as a "burger" with pureed beans. Yum.
Anyway. Heard about Fey yet? Well, it seems to be the first hurricane of the year to threathen Florida. It all depends on how Cuba can wear her out or not, but the current expextations (updated every so often) is that the "Cone of Death" (that is what we call the gray area where the hurricane is most likely to hit) is right over Florida. (But they do't call it that in the media, they call it the "Cone of Uncertanty".) With its center pretty much smack right over were we live... Governer Crist has declared a state of emergency for Florida, and evacuation plans are already being activated.
As for now it is believed to reach a Category 1 or 2, with sustained winds of up to 85 miles per hour. (That is potentially about 137 km an hour).
So I better get to go home tomorrow night. We need to get emergency supplies and get our hurricane shutters ready. Our house can easily handle up to a categroy 3 with the hurricane protection upgrades we have added over the years, so no evacuation needed. But still. Not exactly what you want to deal with when you just have come home from the hospital. Or God forbid, I won't get to go home and have to stay here!
