The weatherguessers are still ‘reviewing’ tracks, but there is consensus that the Bermuda High is going to push it into the Eastern US.
Here’s the ‘best’ prediction-
Now the radio commentators on the other hand…
(Ahem- Best radio announcer voice)
The STORM is coming, but there is no cause for panic…
But buy generators, because the power is going to go out for DAYS…
But there is no cause for panic…
Buy toilet paper, buy bread, buy water, buy food that doesn’t need to be heated, fill your tubs, fill your trashcans, fill your…
But there is no cause for panic…
There’s going to be FLOODING, O.M.G. Elevensies… Move to higher ground! Move to the second floor!!!
But there is no cause for panic…
(cue breathless reporter, sounds of traffic in background)
Yes Mike, there are a LOT of folks out today, and they all seem to be intent on (sound of squealing brakes and crash in background) getting to the stores quickly. Ahh… ummm. back to you in the studio.
But there is no cause for panic…
Sigh… And yes the stores WERE that stupid, along with the traffic…
Line a half a block long to get into the grocery store, hardware store parking lot was full, and so were most gas stations.
I was actually on an ammo hunt, and needed to replace my Nemesis holster for my BUG, so I bypassed all that stuff and went to the gun store. IT was packed too!!!
And ammo prices are just STUPID HIGH!!! One guy was complaining that he’d bought the same ammo 6 months ago for $16/box and it was now $24/box; the counter guy said their wholesale prices were up $7-8 box average, so they had no choice!
Thankfully, I’ve got enough to tide me over for a month or two…
So y’all take care, and stay dry…
Stay Safe out there OldNFO!
Headed to PA early Monday, do you best to keep the waterworks with you folks . . . OK??
Be safe sir, perhaps buying an extra bag of coffee and some whitegas for the old camp stove is in order???
Keep your powder dry!
Stay dry and well-armed!
Pissed- Not my first rodeo, errr… Hurricane… Will do!
eia- You ‘could’ have timed that trip better! Just sayin…
Ed- Will do!
drjim- Always!
I been stocking slowly as I see good prices.
I’ll take a Rocky Mountain blizzard over a hurricane any day. Watch your six.
PH- Keep doing that!
WSF- Watching all FOUR directions… sigh
Dude:
A;ways keep at least 1K rounds for each rifle and AT LEAST 750 for each pistol (or caliber).
THat way you can weather the high price periods and not have to worry.
We also keep components for about twice that many rounds so we can reload.
You stay dry, and be careful out there!
O.M.G. Elevensies
this has me gigglesnorting. OMFG HURRICANE’S GONNA EAT US.
Yikes, Old NFO. Be safe. One of my guys backed out of flying to the East Coast on Monday for a test. And I talked him back into it. Now I am starting to second-guess myself.
MSgt- You know my situation with reloading, that’s why my ‘minimum’ is 3K rounds for all calibers…
Rev- Will do!
Laura- Y’all ARE in the bullseye! You be careful up there!
N1- Yeah, that might not have been the best idea… We had a meeting sked for Wed, I cancelled that yesterday.
Eh, we’re as ready as we’re gonna be. If it smacks us, it smacks us. We’ve done everything we can to prepare for it, and we’ve weathered worse storms in this house. Take care of yourself down there, sir. ‘Ware flooding.
You make me laugh! And this would be even funnier if it wasn’t true — I hate the media doing all the gloom and doom and then tell you not to panic.
Ready as I’m going to be. Stay safe!
Already said it, but be safe!
Laura/Joey/Agirl- Thanks, sorry for the late response!
