Also, I am interested in knowing how the new coffee was for someone that received their shipment yesterday. The only problem is that I cannot remember who that lucky recipient was. Maybe @Calmwaters ?
She posted up yesterday that her coffee was DELICIOUS!!
 
This is the most true thing I have heard about hurricanes. Even some of our family members will try to ride out storms while on vacation. They will stay until they are forced to leave
Good morning Bailey. Alycia has made a "honey do" list that needs attending too
 
I’d say hurricanes usually aren’t as dangerous as people expect about 90% of the time. It does really depend on the storms trajectory as usually one section or area gets the brunt of the damage. Even with a Category 4 or 5 storm, it often only severely impacts one section of the state, but since it can change direction it mainly leads to business and job shutdowns rather than immediate personal danger.

I’ve gone outside before — even during Category 4 & 5 storm hurricane conditions — and aside from heavy wind, it didn’t feel nearly as extreme as you might imagine.

The surprising part is that the same wind that can uproot trees or carry boats inland doesn’t always feel that intense when you step outside. They’re definitely a very different type of threat compared to something sudden and violent like a tornado where it can pick up people.
Good morning Thomas
 
I have a slight distance buffer when it comes to hurricanes, I feel for the folks on the coast, Opel and Michael did damage here also.
Good morning Jimmy
