I'm putting everything I got in the yard inside just in case, filled up propane yesterday and for the first time in my life experienced 3 places out of it, and a 11 people line at the 4th one. I'm stocked on food, water, and beer. Let Hanna come, I dare ya! Haha

Oh, I am in charleston, SC.

Everybody stay safe, including Jeff & Mike up there in myrtle beach!
