Be safe of course, keep a couple of cold ones nearby too! Please forgive the bad gallows humor - You say you're staying put because of work... I think you want first grab at storm scrap! Seriously, do take care. My prayers are with you.

Thanks!

Far as gathering scrap...I know you speak in jest for others who may not know...in an event like this grabbing stuff off a curb can get you in a lot of trouble. Not so much prior to the storm, but defintely after one. People put out stuff for the insurance folks. So riding off with someones water heater, fridge, etc is usually not a good idea. Ton of people got in trouble in the last few for doing such. I tend to wait or speak with the people who have stuff out. Only way to be safe in this kind of situation.

DOn't worry though..once I'm able, I expect to be busy.

Good luck to you and those that plan to stay. Are you going to ride it out on the sand bar or move into your wifes place of work? Seems to me they probably have a storm shelter in such a place. Regardless if you see one of these it will be time to get out of Dodge.

Wanted to add this is a storm chaser vehicle that I saw during a tornado a few years back. I do not know why we are heading in the same direction, maybe I had a death wish.
