They predicted a couple of days of big storms, particularly day two, which they warned of potential for major mess and to stock up on drinking water and batteries because there likely would be major power outages and while it was certainly windy and wet, it didn't approach the scare we were told to prepare for. We got all excited for a certain degree of calamity and chaos and got something less.
That's not to mock mother nature too much though ..... indeed there was an F2 tornado over at the coast that did some building damage and caused power outages in places. Just not the seemingly widespread borderline end-of-the-world scenario that was feared. When it was all over there was a feeling of: We got all worked up for this? And beforehand, there never was an impending sense of doom that's been sensed a time or two previously.
So I survived the big blow and accompanying downpour of 10-15-16 without employing candles, flashlights, canned goods, chainsaws, blankets, etc..
I didn't even get to go home early from work.
