Alrighty. They say that Long Island will lose power, and Manhattan is in the process of evacuating. Someone told me today that they might evacuate all of Long Island. I think people are overreacting just a bit. However, I definitely think certain precautions should be taken.
One of my roommates and I are both going home for the weekend. I had been planning on it all month, not because of the hurricane. Regardless, I think it's a good idea. We're college kids. We're still kids. I don't know how much I want to deal with being stranded in the apartment alone without anyone with a stable income. Sounds weird right? We just went food shopping yesterday morning. One of my roommates is planning on staying here with a friend of hers. They're both very go-with-the-flow kind of people. That's great! However, we expressed some concern about them staying here. If we lose power they have no water, no way of cooking food, no toilet, and no place to store food (no power=no fridge). This last part can even translate to no food. We're running low on non-perishables. They insist they'll be fine. They can go days without eating. ...Alright.... Oh well!
I'm hoping to beat the storm and to not have to drive back in it. Wish me luck!
