I'm fairly sure he will have made certain he and his family are
safe but it's still a bit worrying. I can't find out from my uncle
(his father) or his brother as there's a bit of a family feud going
on. Ridiculous, should have been sorted out 10 years ago, IMO.

Okay.

Purrs for everyone in danger. I heard that people were being told
to write their names on their arms so their bodies could be
identified, OMG.

Wow. That's totally incorrect.Â* I have been watching the news on
many channels and the National Hurricane Center online.Â* Keeping an
eye on the storm.Â* Nowhere, at no time, was anyone told to write
their names on their arms in case they were found dead.Â* Where did
you come up with that piece of misinformation?!

Well, perhaps the BBC is wrong, but I saw it on there.Â* I saw an
American, sherriff sort of person say "put your names on your arms"
on BBC news.


Well, I sure didn't hear anything like that but I haven't seen every
channel (BBC not being one I get).Â* I hope your family is safe.

Thanks, Jill, I hope so too.Â* The BBC had a reporter in Wilmington and
he also said that the residents have been told to write their names on
their arms. That made it even more horrifying to me. Like they were
expecting multiple deaths. It seems to be the rain that they're worried
about, more so than the wind and storm surge, because the hurricane is
so slow-moving they said there could be up to 60 inches.Â* 5 feet of
rain!Â* That would be impossible to deal with - it would be like a
tsunami.Â* Purrs for everyone in its path.Â* I saw the news yesterday, I
think they said 23 dead up to now :'(
Mother Nature can be very cruel.


Actually, the number I heard this morning was 14, but even one is too many.
