Armageddon in NC Begin- Update Tuesday
I had to change the oil in my wife's Ford Edge but I didn't have the correct oil on hand. So I load up to go to Walmart. I kind of live away from stuff so a trip to Walmart takes me about 30 min or so.
I figure I will bring a gas can to fill with Non-Ethanol gas too as there is a station that sells right by there.
OH MY GOD!
Walmart is covered up with people grabbing bottled water, can goods, batery's, flashlights, Bread...........
So all the lines are full and all I have are some windshield wipers and 6 qts of 5-20 Motorcraft oil I go to the self checkout.
The dude that is supposed to help/make sure you pay comes up to me and says "we have water on sale and other items to prep for the storm". I look at him and said "I am always preped and I get my water from a well, have a generator and 800gal of Propane to run it, the only thing I really need is some whisky to sip".
He thought that was funny.
Then I asked him if Walmart donated money to the Weather Channel?
He didn't get it and I left.
Gas station was packed but the Non-E pump was clear so I filled my can waited until the Diesel lane was clear and filled my Truck too.
Oil and filter are changed, new wipers installed and tire pressure checked........I have the rest of the day off now[;)]
I can sit back and watch the panic on TV.

Just talked to my daughter in Sumter, SC. She plans to stick it out for now and make a decision in the morning about bugging out. She is in the Air Force there and said the base let everyone go until early next week. She has her house fully stocked with food, water, fuel, batteries, dogs, etc. She says her house is on one of the higher parts of town so she is in no hurry to bug out and have to sleep in the car on the highway. Wish I was there with my generator, rations, tools, supplies, etc, but it is a hell of a long drive from the Reno area. [:D] 0 -

Are you from LA?
I was born and lived in Slidell until we moved in 1968 before Camille destroyed Slidell.
I never knew James was from Los Angeles!!![:D][:o)]
