Somehow, despite all the in-family hullabaloo about Hurricane Hermine, it had kind of slipped my mind that my sister, you know, the one who lives right near Savannah Georgia… lives in, you know, coastal Georgia. Until middle-little sister texted the group chat like “so my weather app still has Big Sister’s town in it and it’s screaming HURRICANE WARNING at me, how y’all doing?” and Big Sister was like, “oh, you know, husband got called up for National Guard, I’m just home with the kids, y’know, cramming all the outdoor furniture into our screen porch and putting boards over our windows, no big!” and a smiley emoji that is apparently sincere.
And we were like, “Oh!” and she was like, yeah, just the north-facing windows really, they said that should be enough. Kids looking forward to long wknd, etcetera. Neighboring county on mandatory evac, southern half of their county on voluntary evac, but they’re in the north half and so no evacuation.
Key to sheltering in place with three kids under ten, she advises, is having a lot of cardboard and masking tape to make robot costumes out of.
