It is hard to explain to someone who has never been in a hurricane or tropical storm, that what is coming...is not just a rain shower with a little wind, nor is it even a somewhat more intense thunderstorm. It is a whole lot more than that.
My Good Boss, having never been in a tropical storm or hurricane here, does not understand fully just why I and the other tutors are saying... "It might not be a Good Idea to be on the road as it makes landfall." (that would be about 7 am as it is estimated now.
He wants to stay open tomorrow. He thinks the television is just exaggerating a little.
Well, okay, they probably are. But. That doesn't change the bare facts that one does NOT drive to work as a (possible hurricane) big storm comes lumbering in, slamming the coast line and drenching the whole area. And did I mention that there would be a little wind associated with the storm?
Arrrrggghhh!!
My only hope is that the other tutors agree with me and they are approaching him with the same information I and the television have been giving him.
I hope he believes at least one of us.
'Cause, folks, ain't NONE of us gonna be drivin' to work tomorrow morning, unless the storm takes a drastic northerly path, and given the prevailing conditions, that ain't likely to happen.
Sigh.
