Hurricanes are not to be taken lightly. Living in the Bahamas, I've been through several of them in my lifetime including Hurricane Sandy last week.

For those of you who have never been through a hurricane be prepared for prolonged power outages.

The power to my house went out Thursday night and didn't come back on until midnight on Sunday just to give you an idea of how long it can be.

Also be prepared for some serious wind. The wind was literally howling when Sandy came through here last week and had the storm shutters on the windows of our house rattling as if she was trying to break in.

You should stock up on items like water, batteries, flashlights and non-perishable food as well.

Another important thing I want to mention is PLEASE STAY INSIDE. Some of you might want to get your YOLO on and go outside to experience the hurricane first hand, but that is a very stupid idea. You can get hurt by flying debris, electrocuted by fallen power lines, or literally thrown around like a rag doll depending on how strong the wind is. We had one death related to Hurricane Sandy over here, when one dude got blown of his ladder by the wind when he was trying to fix something on his roof.

I'm not trying to scare anyone with this post, just hoping to enlighten some of you. Hurricanes are serious business but if you take the proper precautions and don't do anything stupid you should be fine.

Everyone stay safe.
 
I have loaded my reserve beer into the fridge; I was saving them because they are all seasonals but desperate times call for desperate measures :smh:
 
Not too bad where I'm at in Maryland. 

Downloaded some movies and made sure my laptops at 100% in case of power outage though.
 
getting pretty crazy here in southwestern CT and the hurricane isn't even here yet.

i've got enough eggnog and whisky to keep me alive.

stay safe everyone.
