Heh, girl I know how that is, LOL. I am from Charleston, SC and we were like Hurricanes....uh oh!
We had a few bad scares, though. Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston pretty hard back in 1989 and back in 1999 my family had to evacuate town when Hurricane Floyd hit. Luckily it swung north at the last minute and didn't blow our house down.
I can laugh now but it was scary then!
