Hmm. Curious. I needed to go to the grocery store on Sunday, but I waited because there was a hurricane supposed to hit. Perhaps you should have prepared for the storm instead of thinking it would be not big deal?

I understand that sometimes things happen. My brother had a freezer full of Tuna and Snapper. I have a generator and deep freezer. He brought his stuff to me. I'm willing to bet someone you know has a generator and you could have brought your cold items to them to keep. A little planning goes a long way.

I got power in Hammond back last night. But once again, I had prepared for the storm. So I spent the last two days watching TV with fans and a window unit running because I accept that hurricane sometimes periodically happen in SELA and have chosen to prepare for it. Had I not had a generator, I have friends and family that do. I also had friends and co workers that had power offer to let me stay, take a shower, or whatever. If you try, I mean really try, you can make do with nothing more than a little inconvenience.
