Hurricane Preparation

Flossie, a category 3 hurricane, is 300 miles southeast of Hilo and headed this way. We should start getting wind and rain tomorrow as it passes to the west of our island. The whole island is under a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning, but the south and east portions of the island should see the strongest winds and plenty of high surf. (we live in West Hawaii)

People today stocked up on bottled water and filled their gas tanks. We prepared by eating the Hagen Daz in the freezer. With all that expensive ice cream a power outage would be devastating.
