By the way, where can I get one of those?

I actually googled it because I thought about printing some out to give out and low and behold there is such a thing,it's a web site were for 10 bucks you get a Man Card that's like a credit card and you get two revocation cards to take someone's away.The web page has stories of man card revocation as well as manly man stuff lol.

In the excitement prior to landfall - hurricanes being a particularly slow-moving natural disaster - I hadn't shaved in a couple of days so I was pretty scruffy. You know those sliding collapsible stocks they user on the old CAR-15's? Well, I had one on my SP1, and they're *really* prone to catching whiskers at the joint and yanking them out, and I figured I wouldn't be wanting the distraction. It turns out it didn't matter anyway, when the looters came around I had the HK91 on me not the AR.

That looks like a great signature line!

Lived on the coast for years. Having ridden out several hurricanes myself - nothing. If you live in an area with any sort of population density you won't be evacuating. Unless you want to ride out a hurricane inside your car. The highway will be packed, and you'll be stuck.

You won't be going anywhere or doing anything - any store with common sense will be closed down. The rest will be inaccessible due to flooded streets and downed flora. If it's a particularly large one, you'll have a few day's down time. Phone and power out. No internet. Still nowhere to go due to debris in the road. Safe to expect to be housebound for 3 full days minimum (day 3 you can start yard cleanup.)

You would, out of sheer boredom if nothing else.

Never really seen any looters in our area. Would almost be a welcome bit of excitement to the usual mundane life interruption that is a hurricane. Usually my biggest concerns are the rather tall pine trees adjacent to the house. It's a little scary looking out the window and seeing a 50 ft tree bending like a twig in the wind. To solve this I stopped looking out the window at the tree. Out of sight, out of mind.
