Nobody was there with water or ice, FWIR, and we lost electricity for at
least a week. I remember going to work bright and early that morning,
and I brought donuts. Hey, where is everybody??? lol I saw a huge sign
go flying across the parking lot, so I went home.

We had a huge hurricane party on our cul-de-sac. One family had several
cartons of ice cream, which was nice, because it was soooo hot in August.
