HAUL ASS...IVAN IS BAD JUJU...RIDING THIS ONE OUT IS STUPID...BREAK FOR COVER WHILE YOU CAN…TAKE FOOD, WATER, MEDICINE, BEDDING, CASH, FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, PETS, AND ALL IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, PHOTOS, NEGATIVES, DATA CD’S, ETC…
ALL OF YOUR OTHER SHIT CAN BE REPLACED.
GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED…
I was living at the end of the runway - Dobbins Airforce Base - when Opal came through. That far north, and it was blowing 72 MPH across the deck. Shook the damn pictures off the wall.
All said and done...I'm glad I was there.
