Look what I saw lurking around on my last trip out

I know where that is, but don't know that idiot. Needs to do some serious manscaping. Was there even a penis in there?

We had a pretty wicked band an hour ago. I moved up family movie night to this afternoon in case the power goes out tonight. We watched Rio, which was a present I got my little minion for birthday number 5 Thursday. Wind and rain were rocking the hous a bit during the movie. It was calm for a bit, but has picked up and a really heavy rain is coming down now. My front yard is flooded. Don't worry! My house is on a hill and my front yard is more a dirt hill sloping down into the ditch alongside the road. VB is expecting water levels to be 15 ft above normal. While inland about 10 miles, my in-laws backyard is beginning to fload as the Elizabeth River rises from the tidal surge pushing inland. Their den is sunken and on the back-middle of the house. Doesn't bode well.

My husband's parents in North Carolina lost power, but it's already been restored.  A few trees are down, but it's pretty much OK there other than trees and power lines.

Good to hear!

After another strong band it is now calmer. Sometimes the waiting is the worst. Just give it to us already and stop teasing us. Typical female! Flaunt it and entice us, then take it away and leave us blue in the balls.

They've added a tornado watch for us. They are opening a shelter here tomorrow. I hope we do as well as NC. People are reporting an eerie quality, but that is because the town is closed on a Saturday night. The mayor ordered businesses closed by 9pm.

They have mandatory evacuations less than a half mile from my house

 What happens then?  Do the police arrive, pound on the door and order people to leave their homes?  :zombiefuck:

Yeah, just saw the tornado warning. We are under a Flash Flood Warning. Some roads are flooded. She has already weakened to a low Category 1. Evacuating Coastal CT seems stupid accept houses right on the ocean.

They didn't explain what they would do but it has been largely ignored from what my son who just got in told me.   They made announcement over the public address system they have set up for it I could hear it here.  I for one would like to see them take me out of my house when I didn't want to leave.  Before anyone says anything about putting the people who will come to rescue you at risk  I would go as far as signing a paper telling them to leave me where I am till after the storm
