You know, up until yesterday, I couldn’t have told you that the character in Office Space was named Milton. Then they named the hurricane Milton, and now there are just so many stapler memes.
Dark comedy is dark, and Tampa is about to get slammed for the second time in two weeks, as Milton is projected to come on shore in that area, and take I-4 across (expecting the usual slow downs in Champions Gate and around the theme parks because you cannot take I-4 through those areas without a traffic jam or six.)
We’re in a slightly higher area, with our power lines underground. We’ve got our supplies and everything that was outside has been put away or secured (with the exception of things that are coming in tomorrow.) We have water, and we’re filling containers with more. Groceries will be picked up in the morning, and then we’ll be in for the duration. We might board up the first floor windows and the screen door, but we’ll make the final call on that tomorrow. (Boarding up is… challenging when you have limited mobility and even fewer spoons. Our last time doing this was seven years ago, I think. I was a whole other person then.)
What is it with M-storms, huh? Matthew was the last time we boarded up, and here we go now with Milton!
There will be writing, but possibly not on the laptop. There will be reading. I’m not entirely certain there will be classwork, because internet and power may not be a thing. But we didn’t lose power or connectivity during Matthew. Everything crossed that this holds true again.
And now… we wait.
